First time at Espiche and absolutely loved it. Unbelievably good value for money as the course is pristine, beautifully maintained, the greens magnificent, clubhouse excellent and all staff fabulous. Unfortunately my own golf was lousy but even that didn’t detract from the overall excellent experience. Being able to hit a straight ball is invaluable here, and I can’t! I would much rather have Espiche than any of the Vilamoura courses which cost 2 or 3 times as much. Can’t wait to return.
Dave Giles
Excellent golf course kept in amazing condition. I will definitely book again for my next trip in August 2027
Paul Gray
Excellent course
Vincent Hill
Drive Straight or lose alot of balls only Lost 3, Good Couse
David Haywood
Espiche golf course is a very demanding course, not for the faint hearted. Some very narrow fairways, very little room for error, but as always, a pleasure to play it.
Samantha Avens
Great challenging course in fabulous condition
Luisa Borrego
Excellent. The course was in superb condition. Will definitely make it my ‘must play’ course every year. As far as I am concerned far superior to Ombria
Mark Johnson
Amazing golf course, fantastic condition and staff were very helpful.
Best course we have played in the Algarve
Gerard Miltenburg
Prachtige baan en buitengewoon relaxed! Alsof we alleen op de baan waren én veel ruimte op de baan. Na afloop lekkere broodjes tonijn
Kerry Duggan
Golf course was very difficult due to blind shots with very narrow fairways. I would only recommend this course to single digit handicap golfers.
Barry Whittles
Course wax in great condition the staff are brilliant
Oliver White
BUGGY A MUST
Monika Franck
A very interesting, challenging course in a good condition.
Thomas Donlan
Great testing course with excellent greens
Dave Giles
Excellent course challenging but fair requires you to place every tee shot will definitely book again in 2027
Roland Vejdemo
Beautiful course but very narrow and of you don’t play straight you are lost. Greens in good shape but they were slow because of ”long grass ”
Christopher Brighton
Such a great golf course, I'm sure if this was in a better location it would be in the top 5 Algarve courses. A proper test of accuracy off the tee, anything semi wayward is a reload! The greens were understandable left a little long for the July heat. Third time I've played here and won't be the last.
Jackie Robinson
Didnt see a sole until the 16th VERY windy and lost rather a lot of balls!
Nick Jones
Very nice course. Fairways are tight. Greens are a little slow but we really enjoyed the the day.
Brian Trenbirth
In great condition but as always a tricky and unfair golf course. It was windy which made it very difficult and not as enjoyable as the other courses.
Jens Fankhaenel
Course OK in general, greens fairly slow and many rough patches on the fairways… too hard surfaces which make the ball jump anywhere even on good shots.
Cathy Proto
Strong winds made this lovely course challenging. Course in very good condition
John Carroll
Good course, greens bunkers fairways in good condition. Gets better every year. Good clubhouse, food good , service first class.
Miguel Sousa
Campo bonito e club house bem conseguido, os greens precisam de ser trabalhados, julgo que não devem ser furados há muito tempo.
Hein Everts
Great course. Friendly people.
I booked twilight tee-time, normally you can play until sunset / when it is getting dark. This was around 20:20 hrs. However, they closed the course at 19:00 hrs, so we were in a hurry to be back in time.
Joseph Fahy
I would recommend you to everyone planning a golf trip to mail tee times to organise the perfect golf getaway.
Ruth Pryce
Seamless check in, lovely quirky course although unforgiving; take plenty golf balls if your not accurate off the tee
Andrea Schüller
Ein sehr schöner, gut gepflegter und herausfordernder Platz. Die Mitarbeiter sind ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut und der Service auch. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.
Jackie Robinson
Excellent game of golf and unhurried by any one in front or behind
Mr William Thompson
great course and facilities. difficult and unforgiving course - bring balls!
Theo van der Werf
Great value for money
Paul Gray
Excellent course and service.
Helena Mattsson
Absolutely fantastic golf course!!!
Roland Alistair Harrison
It's in fantastic condition, Fairways &Greens immaculate though I would say in my opinion it's not for those with a higher Hcap.if you don't keep yr ball on Fairways you'll loose it resulting in a penalty on a number of occasions.
But a very nice course/test.
Seon Scott
Beautiful Golf Course. Excellent condition. very tight fairways! Clubhouse beautiful and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
Jens Fankhaenel
good experience with good company… will come back here as the course plays harder than it seems and does provide for a great challenge. Only downside that the restaurant closed so early that we did not get a chance for dinner after the round.
Martina Urban
We really like to play this course. All the people are very friendly and helpful.
Sadly, the driving range was closed. At hole no 1 there was a long queue of people waiting for the start. But afterwards on the course the waiting time was ok.
It's worth to make afterwards a stop at the restaurant, the sandwiches are excellent.
David Allcard
Nice course and clubhouse.
Martina Urban
The course is beautiful, but the pace of play terrible. We needed 5 hours for 18 holes, because we had to wait at every hole!!
John Walker
Challenging course, nice facilities
Barb Finney
We enjoyed playing the course, greens and fairways were in great shape. Lots of hills and elevated greens whoch make it abit more challenging but overall good experience!
NIck Medlam
Course in excellent condition.
Staff all very helpful.
Enjoyed round untroubled by delays of other golfers.
Patrick Shane Meharg
Out of the 5 courses we played, this was the least popular. On the positive side, the greens were the best we played, the lay out is also to be commended. On the downside however is the feeling that many good shots were penalised with balls often running into an unplayable position, or simply lost. Nobody expects bad shots not to be punished, but to hit fairways only to lose your ball felt unfair. I would also suggest that for high handicappers, this is not the best course to play.
Paul Gray
Excellent course. My wife and I teed off first but when we got to the 10th hole a four ball were teeing off.
Patrick Wehmeier
Excellent course, and very helpful staff in Pro Shop
Thomas Holley
A challenging round through wide valleys in the backcountry of Lagos. The fairways are bone dry, and the balls bounce heavily downhill—be careful. The tee boxes and greens were in very good condition. Unfortunately, this course was also very crowded, which resulted in a round time of 5 hours 15 minutes. The fact that the kitchen was closed for almost an hour after our extremely long round was absolutely unacceptable and unfortunately put a bad aftertaste on the day.
Andrew Butler
Our group thought Espiche was one of the best courses they have played. Will definitely play there again.
Stephen Wardale
Pristine golf course. Some very difficult holes with sloping fairways but very enjoyable.
Mr Ray Boyle
Excellent course in prime condition
Rick Hewland
A Slow round but the course was very good.
Olav Burmester
Wunderschöner Golfplatz, spielen immer wieder gerne seit Eröffnung der Anlage .
R.B.H. Hesling
Five hours for 18 holes, no comment, a disaster!
That was our last round on Espiche, we don‘t want to play here anymore.
Andrew Davies
Very nice welcome at the golf reception followed by a tough 18 holes in windy conditions. Course is in great condition with excellent greens. Lovely post round drink and bite to eat with great service.

Espiche Golf
A beautiful, challenging course, beautifully set in nature, and well-maintained, for "true golfers," where game strategy is crucial, and affordable with exceptional service. Our Rating= 5 ***** by Beirões Golfe
bigkim
all hole were blind hole.
we easily lost ball eventhouh good shot. there are no yardage book.
Pat Wallace
Challenging course but greens and course condition. You need to be prepared to loose a few balls !!
stuart smith
Excellent service, simple process, great rates. Perfect way to book. Many thanks
Adrian Erasmus
Really tough course due to narrow fairways and unforgiving rough. Still a good experience.
Roger Moyse
Challenging course. Take plenty of spare balls....
Cyril Joyce
A fine course with helpful and friendly staff. However in my opinion it is more suited to lower handicap golfers ie <10, as any errant shot is generally lost.
Perhaps the club would allow used golf ball sales on the course as this would ease the pain of so many lost balls. We had a particularly tough day as it was very windy.
Cyril Joyce
Would suggest only single figure hamdicapers should take on this challenge.paryif there is wind.
Andrew Ward
Pleasant lunch beforehand and great views. Tricky course with quite a few blind holes. High winds made scoring difficult. Very friendly clubhouse staff. I would return again.
Eric Deprey
Difficult but nice
Mark Dunlop
tricky course , fairway goes straight to scrub and bushes - lost ball , greens average but good layout
Jon Cofield
A challenging course which has narrower fairways than most courses in the area. It is a well designed course with a nice clubhouse. It was let down by the disappointing greens which were bumpy and inconsistent and some fairways were bare otherwise it would have scored higher than a 6/10. Accuracy and course management is the key.
David Houghton
Very welcoming club with great buzz in the bar/restaurant, course was in great shape considering the weeks of rain and the layout is excellent & so peaceful up in the hills, greens ran true enough but looked a little bare
Doris
The course is a little bit boring not at all challenging. It is only up and down. Maintenance is ok. Staff is extremely friendly, the food in the restaurant was excellent.
Jason Walker
Personally I didnt have a good day
Adrian Brooks
Lovely and hospitable course as usual. Course in great nick. Grass either side of fairways cut far too short on some of the sloping holes penalising good shots. But very enjoyable.
Kjetil Larsen
Nice clubhouse, friendly staff and great layout of the course. The course conditions however, were not the best with bumpy and uneven greens and lots of ground under repair in the general area. The bunkers were good with new sand and they were well raked, though.
Norma askew
Course was in average condition compared with previous years
Paul Gray
A lovely golf course with friendly staff.
Dave Beauchamp
The whole experience was brilliant
Frank Haidinger
Driving Range is closed. (Small) Short game area and putting green are open. Tee boxes are hard, sometimes difficult to set a tee. Currently the fairways are dry and hard. Several small spots on the fairways with maintenance activities for improving the watering system. Greens are in good condition, hard and fast. With the current conditions of the fairways the course is not forgiving.
Overall, most of the fairways are narrow and the greens small.
Jon Pinder
Fantastic course, in superb condition. Some very challenging holes! Fantastic clubhouse with views over the course
Des Rushe
Some quirky tee shot blind holes where it is nearly impossible to stay on fairway with a good drive.
Michael Heywood
Very friendly welcome, beautiful course (challenging at times due to unexpected run offs) but spoiled by very slow play (5 hour round) and rude group behind us. Would you walk onto your next tee (man to yellow, lady to red) and talk on your mobile phone while the previous players (us) were waiting to tee off? They did. Appalling.
Klaus Fuchs
Trotz der vorherigen Regenfälle war der Platz in einem hervorragenden Zustand und konnte problemlos mit Buggy bewältigt werden.
Auch die natürliche Umgebung war bemerkenswert, nicht aber die Spielzeit von deutlich über 5 Stunden für uns als 4er Flight. Man wünscht sich schon einen
engagierten Marshall, wenn der vorherige Flight bei gefühlt jeder 2 Bahn. geschlossen im Unterholz verschwindet, um einen Ball zu suchen - natürlich ohne Schläger,
dem man sich dann noch einmal auf den Weg macht.... Trotzdem, diesen Platz werden wir sicher auch in Zukunft spielen.
-**- Despite the previous rainfall, the course was in excellent condition and could easily be mastered with a buggy.
The natural surroundings were also remarkable, but not the playing time of well over 5 hours for us as a flight of 4. You really wish you had a
dedicated marshal when the previous flight disappears into the undergrowth at what felt like every 2nd hole to look for a ball - without a club, of course,
which you then set off again.... Nevertheless, we will certainly continue to play this course in the future.
Bert Ulrich
Friendly staff, great course, medium weather
Roald de Groot
Busy course fully booked, stuffed to the brim. No flow, had to wait at least 5 min on every hole and were not able to play the 18th due to the darkness
Stephen Copley
Always a challenging course , but a good round for most of it made it probably our best trip to this course which we would normally avoid !!!!!
Edwin Weteling
Nice layout in beautiful landscape but very hard to play due to thick bushes in the rough. Hitting fairways is crucial to make a good score.
Josey
A very challenging course where quality straight shot are rewarded. Distance is not a requirement but accuracy is. Restaurant was passable but would recommend other places to eat. Clubhouse is very nice, clean and the staff was excellent.
Vilnis Butkevics
Great golf course, chalenging greens, fair approach shots. Don't go into the rough because there isn't any. You're in the bushes
