Staff were friendly. I had a buggy & at times, it didn't cope well with the slippery conditions (esp. 3rd hole Guadiana). Enjoyed the round, the course was in pretty good condition although one or two of the greens were a bit pockmarked. Managed to finish before it rained.????

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit today to Castro Marim. Played Grouse and Guardiana nines. Cracking layout and superb conditions. Views to savour and excellent greens.
Only criticism was a slow pace of play in front which was backing up play.
Excellent service from staff.

A good course, for an out of the way location it was much busier than classy neighbour Qunito do Vale but less refined. A very good and worthy challenge though with many dog legs although a number of similar looking tee shots

Tee Times was a great service! They quickly responded to me and when I asked to make a change, they were quick to get it done. The golf course was nice however the signs need to be better because they change course names after you finish the first 9 holes. There are no signs to tell you where to go so it makes it a little confusing if you've not been there. The restaurant was not impressive. The young girl who works there first behaved as though she didn't understand my husband but then did so clearly, she was not wanting to be waitressing today. The food was not good. They really need a good cook there as it really is difficult to mess up a cheeseburger. It took 3x to get mine cooked and they were nice enough about it and apologized but it still makes for a bad experience. It seems a shame with such a beautiful clubhouse and the area that the food which was an easy order was such a let down. Paulo and the Andre as well as Bob were great! The spacing should be about 15 minutes in between with so many walking the course. I think that would be better so that you don't get stacked up.

Very interesting and well laid out. Greens fine but remainder of course would benefit from better maintenance, the fairways were not great. If they wish to compete with the better courses around they need to up their game. But in fairness at €71, a fair price compared to the average of €120 we are paying for the remainder of our rounds. To improve customer satisfaction, and I would have upgraded to 7, if perhaps a starter or at least someone to point you in right direction and explain local rules etc. once you cleared Reception and picked up the buggy you were ‘on your own’. Only a very small thing but Even a few tee pegs and a pencil would have been nice. For all that, well worth a visit.

Course played on 31st of October. In wet condition, but after the dry Summer, they realy needed some rain.
Unfortunately very slow play ( 04h40) but no marshall seen. However, we enjoyed playing Golf outside the Resort-Courses on the Algarve for a good price.

Staff all very helpful and friendly.
Greens in excellent condition but fairways very brown and quite often you were playing shots from earth with no grass.
Sand in bunkers disappointing as very gritty and not easy to get under the ball.
However we had a good day there with friends.
Would play the course again as we like the position and layout of it but would like to know the fairways were in better condition first b

We had o good round of golf with a very friendly couple from Holland! We love this golf course with is hilly fairways and doglegs with blind holes. The only negative I can think off was the buggy which didn’t had enough power from hole 14 onwards. We had to push the buggy uphill !!

Andy Fletcher
2022-11-04
The greens were not fast but they were true. You had to repair the many pitch marks left by other ''golfers''. I think that Castro Marim is a monotonous course. You go up to the tee box, down to the valley, up to the green. Up to the tee box, down to the valley, up to the green. And so on. The course lay-out is very poor. The dog-legs are ridiculous, as are the stroke indexes. As an example, hole 3 on the Guadiana course is a par 5. Why? It is only 404m from the whites, 361m form the yellows. The dog-leg is too far and too acute to give you a view from your tee shot to the green (very much like hole 1 on the Grouse course). Not only that, it has a stroke index of 2!!!!!!
There are 3 courses of 9 holes at Castro Marim. If I am booked to play A+B, A+C, or B+C, I would expect to have a scorecard with the stroke indexes of the 18 holes that I am playing, not to have the SI of each nine.
Of the six golf courses on the East Algarve (not to forget the two courses just over the bridge in Spain), Castro Marim is at the bottom of the list. I am a member of Benamor, second bottom of the list, but, as a member, it is impossible to book a tee time and so I have to pay to play elsewhere.
By the way, I beat a 6-handicapper by 6 and 5 and he is never going to be allowed to forget, so my comments are not sour grapes.

The course was in not a very good condition. As a matter of fact it was totally unsatisfactory and very disappointing. The only part of aproval was the bunkers! I am not playing that course again in a long time.

2022-11-02
Lovely course, good facilities, beautiful clubhouse and good food. Staff were pleasant however it would have made the experience a little better if staff were more proactive in directing visitors, eg to the caddymaster, to the range, to the first tee. We found we had to ask or find the way ourselves. A minor complaint but it is particularly relevant at a course with 3 x 1st tees!

Castro Marim continues to be a jewel in the crown of golf courses in the eastern Algarve. The course is perfectly laid out and has just enough water hazards to cope with being a (very) high handicapper. Even for me there are par, even birdie, chances as well as incredibly difficult holes. CM consists of 3 nine hole courses, the Grouse, Guadiana & Atlantic. All three are superb, on the day you are advised which two courses you play to make up the 18 holes, we played Grouse and Guadiana. The clubhouse facilities are excellent and the staff friendly. One tip, do not arrive before 8am as the facilities are closed until then.

We played all right, but Castro Marin was very busy, especially the first course (we played the Grouse and the Atlantic course).

Staff were friendly when checking in & getting buggy. I've always liked the layout of the courses at Castro Marim. Today I played Grouse & Guadiana. Sadly the quality of those courses was poor, not something I've noticed in the past here. In particular, the greens and tee boxes were well below standard. I hope this is temporary.

A nice course but in reality too far from where we were staying. Some interesting holes, we played the Grouse and Guadiana combination, all fairways and greens in good shape. Bunker sand on a couple of holes wasn’t best ever ( so I’m told)
Made to feel welcome at the course and in the clubhouse afterwards.

Probably the right amount of challenge for our games. Some reachable par 5s but some daunting tee shots over water to make it interesting. Hit it straight and you have no worries. Course is in good nick and greens running true.
Buggies could do with coolers on which would be a nice touch. Also a decent price to hire and not a rip off.
Surrounding area needs more landscaping off the fairways to make it more appealing on the eye.
Clubhouse very good. Food good value and service really helpful and polite.

We had a lovely day at Castro Marim, thank you for booking the golf for us. We first played here 25 years ago when the clubhouse was at the first tee on the Atlantico course and we have been coming back regularly since those faraway days, still love it.

Course was very scruffy, tees and fairways disappointing. On the Grouse 9 the greens had been heavily sanded
Franco Di Fonzo
2019-06-12
In a course with no indications, no birdie book and no GPS on the buggy, with holes with no visibility is impossible to play. Especially with so much wind. Experience not to be repeated.

Paul Short

Castro Marim consists of 3 sets of nines holes. Each are different in character and quality. The Grouse has a number of holes with wide fairways and long carries. Guardiana is more mature again with some long carries some over water. Finally Atlantico which is towards the sea. Ore mature narrower tree lined fairways. Some strange tee positions having to drive over the last green. Greens were acceptable but not great. Overall pleasant course nice clubhouse and one we enjoy playing

Impressed on arrival - nice drive and entrance to eh club. 4 of us played the Grouse & Guadiana courses. The first 2 holes had us wondering if it was worth the drive from Quinta Do Lago - the first cut was "rough" making it difficult to find our balls and the greens weren't the best. However, the course then opened out and we were pleasantly surprised with the all round condition of the next 7 holes of the Grouse course and the even nicer Guadiana course. The views are quite something to behold, adding more enjoyment to the round. Staff and service in the pro shop and bar were excellent, as were the facilities. Extremely good value for money. We all came away thankful that we'd made the effort and will look forward to visiting Castro Marim again on our next trip.
Tamar at Teetimes.PT provided an excellent, personal booking service - highly recommended and will certainly use them again for future arrangements.

The course is a challenge if you are not a straight hitter but it is in excellent condition given the time of the year. There are several holes with superb views over the surrounding area and across into Spain. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It is very good value for money.
John Gray
2018-08-12
Good customer service and half way round we were given an ice cold towel which on a hot day was a real treat. The group behind hit through us on 3 occasions even though were kept right up with the group in front of us - it's a shame some golfers are idiots. Of course this was no reflection on the golf course itself. If you are looking for a medium length course (c.6,300 yards off the back (white) tees), with many challengingly tight drives then this is the course for you.

Arranging this through tee times was easy and straight forward. quick response for confirmation and good prices. Not impressed with CM pricing though, 5 euro for a hand cart!! most places are 1 euro or free!! Perhaps we won't visit that course again.

Played Castro MARIM on 19 April 2017. Course in reasonable shape but very quirky, lots of slopes on fairways and these cause you to be penalised for good drives. You have to aim left or right to get the ball to finish on the fairway. Greens okay. Not the best course in the area.

Reception and Caddie Master staff were 1st class..
Grouse 9 good, although greens not great.
Guadiana 9,poor,but greens better.
No course Marshall, people in front of us could not play golf and we would have finished 30 minutes earlier.
There is a real lack of signage from the N125, even 500 metres from the entrance at a T junction there are 2 signs with golfers on them,1 to the right and 1 to the left!
We started at 1.45.

excellent course in great condition. cant believe you can play this quality of course for so little money. bit of a drive from albufeira, but well worth the extra mileage. our friend who lives just over the border in Spain pops across the river to play this course at least twice a month, we can see why. will play again.

Found Castro Marim to be a good course, but killed us walking, as there were no buggies available. We're told buggies had to be pre booked. (We didn't know this beforehand.) Buggies are needed on this course as there are a lot of hills.
