Pinheiros Altos Golf Course offers 27 holes divided on 3 times 9 holes golf courses : The Corks, the Pines and the Olives. Olives and Pines, golf courses each presenting different characteristics. The Olives are the old back nine and are more flat, the wind has greater influence and have some holes where the water element comes in to play. The eighth hole, island par 3, is a good choice for nearest the pin, and is also the golf courses signature hole.
Pines, the original front nine, where 4 new holes have been integrated and as its name indicates presents a more parkland course, plenty of pine trees, elevations, dog legs and also 3 lakes that protect 3 very tempting greens. The 4th a short par 5, the 5th a long par 4, stroke 1 and the 6th a par 5 reachable in 2 if you had a good tee shot. Signature hole, again a beautiful Par 3 over a valley to a McKenzie green. A great golf course, very demanding and if you succeed to finish with 36 points on stabelford you probably have played your best golf.
Pinheiros Altos Corks Course is the longer and more demanding of the three nine holes. Starting right on the first tee. A narrow line for a dog leg fairway. The eighth hole, is the most difficult Par 5 in the Algarve, a double dog leg of 580 yards and a narrow gap, 120 mt before a elevated green well protected by bunkers.
The Corks Golf Course is also a mixture of the original 4 holes and 5 new holes with spectacular views of the Ludo valley and the Goldra hills beyond.

The course wasn’t in the greatest of condition, the fairways were rock hard. The greens were in very good condition but the fairways let it down

Charles and I, have played regularly at PA. As soon as we arrived the receptionist Polly had a big smile on her face, and even remembered our Christian names . Played the Pines and Corks although Polly told us we had the choice of back 9. A quick warmup on the range and we were off. The green were perfect, fairways a little dry but overall in good condition. It was great to play PA again, a good challenge but a fair test and good value.
To be honest when I say regularly, we have played here 10+ times a year over the last 20+years and Polly is more of a friend than the receptionist.

Our second visit (this times with Corks instead of Olives) some ten years after the first and with some concern re: comments seen regarding ownership investment for this and San Lorenzo. Some of that is evident in the tired but still excellent practice area, and the fairways were yellow albeit still very playable. However the course layout , challenge, greens (and clubhouse) still have a class and enjoyment level that - for us- more than compensates and it was still a favourite on this tour same as previously. Surprising it doesn't get the same hype of many others in the close vicinity that it deserves, but maybe the members like it that way.
