Gerard Kelly 2024-06-10
Welcome at reception friendly and efficient. Course in great condition. Facilities inc clubhouse great. Under 4 hours. ????

Tim Gale 2024-05-31
We really enjoy this course and we are regular visitors. The clubhouse is low key, simple, with friendly service, but may not be to everyone's taste.

Ronan Lewis 2024-05-26
Great staff, excellent service. Course average.

Paul Halewood 2024-05-13
Interesting course with lots is water on front nine holes. Definitely worth playing.

Tanja Kracht 2024-05-11
Beautiful Golfcourse, very tricky. We enjoyed the day there a lot.

Thor Hellenaes 2024-05-10
Better than expected.. Nice layout and quick greens.

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2024-05-10
Love this course, we have been here at least 6 times, and it never disappoints.,Staff as always fantastic Thanks

John Farrall 2024-05-07
Not a hyped up or fashionable course, but definitely one of the best we have played in the Algarve (most of them) and certainly one of the toughest - some intimidating and long holes if your ball striking isn't on form. The clubhouse, service and even buggies all have class.

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2024-05-07
So glad to see this course getting busy. We have played here for the last three years and it’s always in fantastic condition, loads of staff working on the course, it’s an absolute gem, love it!

Maruan El Dagma 2024-05-04
Great course well organized.

Andrew Warrington 2024-05-02
Very good

Sidney Stuart 2024-04-30
normal high standards clubhouse and course

Dave Parsons 2024-04-24
My second visit to Quinta do Vale on this trip & it was much more pleasant than the first. Staff were friendlier and helpful. Only downside is the amount of TLC that the course needs.

Dave Parsons 2024-04-15
I arrived at reception at 9.45 for a 10.00 tee time & was told that the other players were waiting for me on the tee. The receptionist told me she would bring me a trolley while I fetched my clubs. I didn't see her at reception when I had my clubs, so assumed the trolley would be taken to the 1st tee, but it wasn't, so a further delay. I still teed off before 10.00, but was not happy that I was made to feel that I was late. The course was not in great condition, especially the fairways. The new system of numbers instead of colours for the tee boxes seems pretty pointless. I'm playing there again soon, so I hope for a better experience.

Liz Hogarth 2024-04-14
A challenging but exciting course with lots of water. For a lot of the course you need to think about your shots which is often more important than distance.

Jackie Robinson 2024-04-12
Fantastic arranegement to book that day as it was empty and yet the day earlier had been full Well done!

Ian Godfrey 2024-04-11
Really enjoy the challenge of Quinta do Vale. The course was in good condition, and the only negatives are the distance and the price a little on the high side. But I like Quinta do Vale to be one of the regular venues.

Aidan Lavender 2024-03-23
This is a tough course but with varied tee options. First nine flat with lots of water and difficult to judge carries. Back nine on hilly land but easier to see where you are going. Greens in very good condition - fairways and surrounds not as good.

Randall Nunley 2024-03-10
Staff is great in all aspects from arriving and checking in to checking out of the bar! Layout of the course is very good and challenging! The drawback is the fairways are bare in many spots and they may have some drainage issues from rain leaving a soggy course.

Richard Shaw 2024-03-06
Great fun

Barclay Douglas 2024-03-02
Buildings and the course could benefit from some money being spent on tidying up. New buggies were impressive, but was that they best way to create a better impression ?

jackie robinson 2024-01-01
A bit crowded and slow first time ever! Course in good order

Nina Schueller 2023-11-21
The course is getting better and better every time I come. Someone is really taking care of the place. Please keep up the good work.

Ruud Verberne 2023-11-08
Difficult course but play it everytime with more pleasure

Pål Christiansen 2023-11-02
Good speed on greens, fairways well kept on front 9, some bad areas on back 9.

Gerard Kelly 2023-10-31
Staff polite and efficient. Hire clubs poor condition and choice. Only 2 sets to choose from at €35 per round!

Jon pinder 2023-10-21
Excellent course. Very tough. No water in the ponds. A long drive from our accommodation in Vale Parra

Henk Luiken 2023-10-16
Difficult golfcourse with a lot of water. Nice place on the border with Spain. Staff was very helpful.

Terry Dickinson 2023-10-14
A very tough golf course, requiring precision I didn’t have !!

Daniel Wyss 2023-10-13
Ein interessanter Platz direkt am Grenzfluss zu Spanien. Das Layout im hügeligen Gelände ist sehr gut. Leider leidet der Platz, wie viele andere auch, unter dem Wassermangel. Aktuell ab Vilamoura keine Anfahrt wert! - ** - An interesting course right on the border river with Spain. The layout in the hilly terrain is very good. Unfortunately, like many others, the course suffers from a lack of water. Currently not worth the journey from Vilamoura!

Alessandro Giovanelli 2023-10-12
Good Golf Course and very very good reception. The men in the Pro Shop is very kind and very friendly. The Fairways in some holes are without Grass and that is not good if you consider the price for 10 green fees.

Tim Gale 2023-10-09
Despite the shortage of water it was in very good conditon. It is the most challenging of the 3 courses - which we always enjoy.

Andrew B Warrington 2023-09-27
All in all a good experience, fairways still recovery from the drought , greens very good , will play the course again

Stuart Law 2023-09-07
Great course and round in 3.5hrs

Bolton David 2023-09-06
Amazing view’s brilliant course

Tommy Grehan 2023-06-19
Tough test of golf in great condition. Great value and Friendly staff.

Gerard Kelly 2023-06-03
Even though the course was hosting a pro-am today and all tee times were booked we got around in 4 hours. Everything managed brilliantly by course staff. Great course. Definitely must plan your way around the course if you are to avoid the water and sand traps and score. Course in excellent condition in spite of long drought conditions. Very enjoyable 2nd round this week.

Gerard Kelly 2023-05-30
Course in excellent condition. A lovely challenge for us as mid handicap players. Strategic shot making essential on most holes. Facilities very good. Staff in shop, bar/restaurant, and on course friendly and courteous. A pleasure all around. We look forgot our next round in 4 days armed with course knowledge.

Jackie Robinson 2023-05-28
EXCELLENT ROUND OF GOLF IN 3 HOURS ON A DESERTED COURSE. mILLIONAIRES GOLF!

Dave Parsons 2023-05-19
The Quinta do Vale course was playing very nicely, just a couple of greens that had some bare patches. Staff very helpful, starting me off 10th tee to avoid congestion.

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2023-05-05
This was the 3rd time we have played QDV, and the 2nd time this week. I have to confess I have a large picture of the view off the balcony in our house in the UK. A fantastic golf course which is tough, but we generally play Texas scramble with tee shots on par 4s and 5s which keeps everyone in play, and makes it more enjoyable for everyone. Every hole is a challenge, but the course is a fabulous tribute to Seve and we will be back many times. Love it!

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2023-04-30
Absolute Pleasure, Lovely staff, excellent facilities and a joy to play. Really pleased to see this course busy. Love this course

Colin Dick 2023-04-24
Great Course and great food staff were very friendly.

Eamonn Ryan 2023-04-22
We had a great day at Quinta do Vale. Lovely course. Challenging but fair!

Sidney Stuart 2023-04-19
Course in good condition considering lack of rain very slow play no one calling through

Steve Flood 2023-04-18
We last played this course about 5 years ago, we were very impressed with the course and the welcome, Seve design means lots of water so be prepared to lose a ball or two????.. Definitely will be returning soon.

Michel Brandelet 2023-03-21
First nine holes are challenging due too various water ponds! Very scenic course on the spanish border.

Anthony David Bews 2023-03-20
lots of water so visit Sports Direct for lots of cheap golf balls before playing. Staff are all friendly and the course is a delight. Just keep straight and look up distances before approaching water hazards.

Rudolphus Verberne 2023-03-15
Interesting course one should learn to know

Franz Miltner 2023-03-06
Schöner Platz,freundliches Personal. -**- Beautiful place, friendly staff.

Jackie Robinson 2023-03-02
As usual we didnt score well!

Nina 2023-03-01
The course is in better and better condition every time I come! Really nice greens for this time of year - well done to the team there! They could stock up on buggies though

Philip Townsend 2023-02-24
In good condition, very enjoyable. Only downside is we booked as a 2 ball and the club made us a 4 ball with 2 members

David Askew 2023-02-11
Fantastic course superb fews and excellent kayout . It was in great condition

Paul Gray 2023-01-26
An excellent golf course. Two different nines, the first nine flat with lots of water, the second nine hilly. Great and quick greens.

Bajema 2022-12-28
Beautiful as ever. Unfortunately the green were sanded on monday..

Mark Anthony Silman 2022-12-06
First class booking with tee times as always. No problems at all.

Nina Schueller 2022-11-14
Course is definitely in better condition than a few years ago. Demanding course that doesn't forgive mistakes. Range ist still in desolate condition and the club house needs a little more attention.

Emanuel Rembrandt 2022-11-05
Course in good condition, enjoyed playing, too bad the surrounding development and houses are in bad shape.., staff very friendly

Colm Friel 2022-11-02
Beautiful course to look at, great views from clubhouse and nice to play as well with good greens. Helpful friendly staff.

Alex Lewis 2022-10-30
Very good welcome and given good instructions for my time there as it was my first time there. Course was in good condition and will get better when it settles in , but first class with great views over to Spain

Brendan Sheehan 2022-10-28
all staff that we encountered @Reception , The bar & the Starter were very friendly and welcoming

Pål Christiansen 2022-10-27

ROBERT paul CAMILLERI 2022-10-16
Everything was booked and arranged very easily. Staff at Quinta do Vale were very friendly and helpful. The course was in excellent condition. We are all looking forward to going back there again soon

Paul Gray 2022-10-12
Excellent course and value for money. Very busy and groups being sent off on 1st and 10th tee.

Paul Tolley 2022-10-08
Course and service were excellent especially the reception and clubhouse staff.

Paul Gray 2022-10-06
My wife and I had got up early for our early tee time, 07.50. On the fourth hole , a starter in a buggy came to tell us to slow down as there were big groups teeing off on the tenth hole until 09.40! We then had a twenty minute wait on the tenth and joined up with another couple to play as a fourball behind the other four balls.

Luisa Borrego 2022-09-28
A tough course which is in very good condition and always a pleasure to play

Joe Egan 2022-09-25
Lovely course, great views and an overall enjoyable experience

Jackie Robinson 2022-09-19
Excellent!

Lee Blamire 2022-09-11
Lovely setting, nice course. Infrequent drinks buggy on a hot day (only part of group saw once). This is a long course, would of been good to recommend golf buggies.

Tony Calnan 2022-09-10
Course was very busy and was slow because of this.

Andrew Slavin 2022-09-08
12 golfers ranging from 6 to 22 all thoroughly enjoyed the course, which would definitely benefit from a 2nd playing. Plenty of golf balls and a scuba outfit required for front 9, with water affecting 7 or 8 holes, but some well thought out holes and great views, especially back 9 Definite buggy requirement. Course in great condition and 4 hours for a round, which is well acceptable in this day and age, on holiday

Jason Rankin 2022-09-06
The course is only getting better!!

Frank Ginger 2022-08-05
Had a great time, challenging course but good for all.

Dave Parsons 2022-07-06
Always a pleasure to play at Quinta do Vale, the course is a lovely design and was in good condition. It was a hot day, and some of my balls decided to head for the water to cool off! The staff here, as ever, are helpful and friendly.

pat wallace 2022-06-26
Fairways and greens in excellent condition really enjoyed it. Staff friendly and welcoming

Jackie Robinson 2022-05-28

Very beautiful but difficult golf course. Lot of water that you have to cross. It was very quiet and we enjoyed our day.The first tee is very difficult to start with!

Ruud van Henten 2022-05-07
Excellent course. Very friendly personnel and good lunch

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2022-05-01
Absolutely loved this course, stunning layout

Uwe Schreiber 2022-04-30
Challenging golf course, a lot of water, good conditions, some spectacular holes, very friendly lady in the clubhouse. She made a reservation in Praia Verde hotel for dinner. A great tip. Thank you!

Darren Gatward 2022-04-29
Course was in very good condition, fair but challenging for the better player and I would definitely recommend

Joe Egan 2022-04-28
Really enjoyed Quinta do Vale, greens very nice and layout interesting and challenging. And I left my rangefinder on the buggy, but they found it and saved it for me, well done very much appreciated.

Raymond Watkins 2022-04-20
Great service and course condition. A great days golf

Raymond Watkins 2022-04-20

Fran Mackey 2022-04-08
Friendly service and challenging course

Brigitte Bachmann 2022-04-02
Schön gelegener abwechslungsreicher Golf-Course nahe der spanischen Grenze. Der Platz wurde sehr schön in der Landschaft integriert und bietet abwechslungsreiche Herausforderungen. In den letzten 2 Jahren wurde die Corona-Zeit dazu genutzt die Fairways und Greens in einen sehr guten Zustand zu versetzen. Auch das Green-Fee ist angemessen und nicht zu hoch. Sehr gutes Preis- und Leistungs- Verhältnis. English Version - Beautifully situated varied golf course near the Spanish border. The course has been beautifully integrated into the landscape and offers a variety of challenges. In the last 2 years, the Corona period has been used to put the fairways and greens in very good condition. The green fee is also reasonable and not too high. Very good value for money.

Nils Ekmark 2022-04-01
Nice challange!

Nils Ekmark 2022-03-20
Very nice round at a course with several challaging holes.

Gary Jones 2022-03-18
Hey good played this again later I the week. Good challenge of golf

David Baynes 2022-03-11
Great course. Challenging holes. Not as expensive as many others

Jackie Robinson 2022-03-09
our fishing skills increased and rather slow!

Neil Carter 2022-03-09
Lovely course designed by Seve, great tee price and nice club house, very friendly. Definitely will book again, just hoping I can play to the standard Seve would admire !

Pedro Miguel Curto Pimenta Fernandes 2022-03-09
Friendly staff. Beautiful course in very good conditions.

Neil Sutton 2022-03-02
Golf course in good condition and staff all good. Course guide a good idea as some of the hazards on certain holes are not fully visible from the tee or fairway. Play strategically and you'll score better!

Paul Gray 2022-01-25
A great golf course designed by Seve and a tough test of your game.. Always great value for money.

Klaus Schmidt 2022-01-11
Overall experience: good. Interesting course layout. Fair to play. Even with windy weather.

David Boers 2021-12-31
Booked by teetimes portugal. Perfect site. Easy to book. And very good communication by mail. All arranged when you arrive at the golf course. Quinta do Vale. Till now never played such beautiful course this time of year. Really value for money. Very kind personal also. First nine loads of water. Back nine more height difference. Lovely. Also a good feeling perhaps because on the 17th hole par5. My first birdie ever on a par 5 ?????????????????

David askew 2021-12-06
Great Seve course in great condition . Club house staff were brilliant . The views are superb . It’s a must play course but bring plants of balls

Janette Watson 2021-11-25
The greens were poor with no warning about the fact that they had been sanded - presumable that morning. Bunkers were poor - some were just a mud bath. There were some poor areas on the fairways - but we got around those with pick and place. The course was challenging - made harder by the distractions of poor bunkers and totally unpredictable greens. It would be good to play it when in a better condition.

Erik Lillsjö 2021-11-20
As always one of the best well kept courses in Algarve. Perfect rolling greens.

John Gowen 2021-11-20
Lovely course. Played it many times. Tough long track. But very enjoyable. Staff always welcoming.

Kerstin Benkendorf 2021-11-10
We enjoyed a lovely round in the morning on a well prepared course. Due to the hilly back nine a buggy is recommended.

Bogdan Ptak 2021-10-26
Beautiful and difficult golf course

David Parsons 2021-10-21
I had a nice welcome from the team at Quinta do Vale. The course was in good condition, especially the greens. Minor criticism is the lack of rubbish bins and ball washers. All in all, an excellent golfing experience.

alexander whyte 2021-10-21
Wonderful course with stunning views but challenging, staff were friendly and helpful, and they had buggys ?????????

Rodney Villiers 2021-10-16
too much water on the course for an enjoyable round of golf

Luc Daverveldt 2021-10-12
Still one of the most beautiful courses in the Algarve. Seve on his best!! Very kind people and perfect, quiet environment.

Alex Grimes 2021-10-10
Interesting course in excellent condition. Challenging and slick greens

Kenneth Winter 2021-10-07
Course in very good condition, welcoming staff, excellent experience

Wayne Stewart 2021-09-29
If this course was anywhere else on the Algarve, it would be packed every day. An excellent challenge, well presented, with great service from all the staff

Carmel Murphy 2021-09-26
Front 9 particularly challenging, tough overall, greens very good and would recommend playing there. We will be back!!

Hans-erich Tytko 2021-09-25
Very well maintained place. Always nice to play here.

Richard Bergsma 2021-09-24
Lot of wind to make it a a little hard to. Play thuis course

Jackie Robinson 2021-09-14
as good as ever and course in good condition Pity about the standard of golf!

gary rolfe 2021-09-10
Very Very Pleased with our bookings, absolutely first class service.
Tee Times reply: thanks Gary

M. MICHEL GROSSE 2021-09-08
Joli parcours intéressant golfiquement Très belles vues sur la ria Guadiana Très bon accueil

Eamonn Ryan 2021-09-06
Excellent course. Always a great experience.

Philippe Pineau 2021-09-02
Quinta do Vale was designed by Seve Ballesteros. That should give you a hint of what it is like: a test of golf! Playable by high handicappers but bring a lot of balls! The course is in superb condition just now (early September). Some very nice holes, even the good golfers need to think before playing a shot (that’s typical of Sevie’s design). Bring your own GPS (buggies don’t have) to know where to aim for. Excellent value for money with Teetimes bookings.

Tony Calnan 2021-08-27
Very challenging golf course. In great condition. We played on a day whihc was too hot.

Dave Parsons 2021-07-26
Quinta do Vale is always a pleasure to play and this time was no exception. They managed to get me away on the 10th tee, otherwise I would have been held up. The course had one or two signs of wear & tear, but in general was in good condition.

Marc van Lanen 2021-06-16
Lovely golfcourse. Very challenging. About 70% of the holes have got water hazards. Fairways, greens and teeboxes in excellent condition. Views from several holes are magnificent. Very welcoming staff.

Jackie Robinson 2021-06-02
As enjoyable as ever

Pascal Moncapjuzan 2021-05-19
Beautiful course, great greens and fairways, great landscape from the clubhouse terrace. Very friendly staff.

Eric Peyer 2020-12-17
First time playing the course. Nice layout with some challenging Par 5’s especially with the wind blowing from the north. Good playing conditions for the winter season except the bunkers. Overall good value for money even though not a must play.

Anton van Doorn 2020-03-16
Windy, but in reasenable condition

Ashley 2020-03-08
This is a very difficult course that unless you are a long hitter and accurate you should not attempt unless you have a bag of balls. We lost many of ours despite only just being a little inaccurate. The front nine is very crowded you see a lot of holes and there are many golfers in your vicinity, sound travels and it is not a quiet course. The back nine is hilly and more interesting although the 18th is a classic Seve hole, 100% accuracy is required. The clubhouse is clean and comfortable and the views over the course magnificent. It is from the balcony that you see how crowded the front nine holes are. The greens are in good condition and the fairways also well looked after. The staff are very friendly.

Mr. Doorn 2020-03-02
Very busy. Course in good condition.

Sarrazin Franck 2020-02-29
Great design great shape very challenging and original 6 par 3 6 par 4 and 6 par 5

Rene Lachance 2020-02-28
Nice layout for this Seve Ballesteros signature course but the fairways and the rough need a lote of love. There's a lot of water on the first nine. Bring a lot of balls.

Mal McLaughlin 2020-02-28
great course

Boon Tan 2020-02-24
Tough course with danger everywhere but fair if you are accurate.

Mr. Doorn 2020-02-24
Difficult golfcourse. Good fairways en Nice greens. A lot of water

Erhard Storoschenko 2020-02-18
Quinta do Vale is a course that is wonderfully integrated into the landscape. The first nine holes are determined by many water hazards and sometimes long tracks which you have to play tactically wisely. The second nine holes are in hilly terrain, here a buggy would be helpful. The only disturbing thing is the ruins of buildings which can be seen almost everywhere.

Jackie Robinson 2020-02-15
Lovely game of golf in the sunshine!

Fred Wickel 2020-02-11
Excellent but rather difficult course First and second nine holes have each a very different character.

Dave Beauchamp 2020-01-23
The staff were very good and the buggies were spotlessly clean. We have been there many times and will continue as it is a lovely course

James Tannett 2019-12-12
Managed to get off early. Tee boxes ok, heavily sanded, as were the greens but they were in excellent condition for the time of year. Would consider it a hard course, especially in the wind!! Some big holes and plenty of water to avoid. Would play again.

Simon Richardson 2019-12-06
Great course, had to plot your way round some holes and the wind also making it a tough knock. Course in great condition, greens had just been top dressed but running true

Dr. Ulrich Meseck 2019-11-29
Challenging course, Services o.k.

David Patterson 2019-11-12
This is a visually stunning and challenging golf course that posed a real challenge to our party of all abilities especially in the windy conditions. I posted my best ever score on the course which clearly enhanced my experience. Our 7 handicap golfer came second best to our 10 handicap golfer on the day and consequently lost the trophy! However he lives the course and the challenge it provides

George Treacy 2019-11-12
I booked through tee times late on Sunday, received my voucher early on Monday morning and was on the tee-box at 10.30 Monday morning. evening. No problems at all. Quinta do Vale has some quite difficult holes for higher handicap golfers.

Tony Calnan 2019-10-31
Great course. Lovely friendly staff.

Kjell Karp 2019-10-30
Exciting design with huge variation. Coming back for 3:d year. Maintenance improving - very good conditions now. Friendly staff.

John Walker 2019-10-23
Course conditions were good if a little tired in places. Thanks to the course manager for getting us past 2 very slow groups of ladies

Ina van der Hout 2019-10-22
Here we had to play with two other people. The course is rather difficult with lots of water.

John Flanagan 2019-10-18
Teetimes PT were very helpful in arranging my tee time at Quinta do Vale. I would definitely recommend using them.

Helen Rutherford 2019-10-14
Lovely course and clubhouse. Need to book buggy in advance they don’t have many. Sadly villas line the course which have been left to ruin, some not even finished being built. Very laid back and relaxed play.

Sidney Stuart 2019-10-13
Course in excellent condition staff welcoming very efficient food service very good tasty snacks clubhouse clean with great views

Pieter Colijn 2019-10-11
Nice course with very frienly staff

Simon 2019-10-08
This is a great course but very tough. Unless you can find the fairways take plenty of ball. Would definitely visit again

Bob Needham 2019-09-30
Beautiful but quite tricky course in excellent condition Service, quality and value in clubhouse , which has tremendous views over the whole course and Spain , was also top class

Paul 2019-09-29
Very helpful staff. Lunch good value in the clubhouse. Challenging course. Well presented fairways and greens. Back nine holes in our view better than front nine for interest. Shame about the unfinished nature of the resort as the backdrop of half finished villas detracts from some beautiful vistas.

Dr. Ulrich Meseck 2019-09-24
Pretty goud conditions fairways and greens. Challinging course but nasty Ruins around .

Jackie Robinson 2019-09-16
Course and staff all very helpful and friendly. Our golf left much to be desired!

Olaf Jonokat 2019-09-13
Sehr schöner und sehr gepflegter Kurs. Ersten 9 mit viel Wasserhindernissen. Gefühlt Millionen von Mücken. Sanitären Anlagen kastrophal.

David Bateman 2019-08-27
Great course in great condition

Mariano Blazquez 2019-08-23
Magnífico campo

Lorraine White 2019-08-11
Lovely course really challenging but worth playing

Mark McManus 2019-07-16
Excellent service in pro shop and club house. Course in fair condition as greens hollow tined 2 weeks ago. The layout of the course is superb with many challenging holes where water comes into play.

Mark Sim 2019-06-24
Fantastic test of golf - particularly the first seven - course in great condition - reception really helpful - even suggested starting at 10 as three 4 balls had recently gone. Would strongly recommend

Andrew Thompson 2019-06-13
A longish course, eats balls for fun on the first 7 holes then opens out a little. A couple of really testing par 5 holes and, typical of Portuguese courses, almost every par 3 is a long one.

Andreas Breitenmoser 2019-06-12
Difficult place, which is rather deffensive to play. Very nice course with nice views over the course.

Witold Franke 2019-06-09
Die Organisation der Startzeiten hat Defizite. Wir hatten ab Tee 10 lange Wartezeiten .

Mr Kevin R Mann 2019-06-05
Fantastic course but some very difficult holes with lots of water around!

Jackie Robinson 2019-06-02
Much enjoyed and course empty.

P.A. Raemaekers 2019-05-24
Baan heeft upgrade ondergaan. Uitdagende baan en vriendelijk personeel. Zeer zeker de moeite waard voor een prima prijs.

Bèr Raemaekers 2019-05-21
Baan enorm verbeterd tov vorig jaar. Baan waar baanmanagement belangrijker is dan ver slaan. Eerlijke prijs prima gastvrij personeel. Top greens. We hebben genoten.

All went smoothly. Excellent service throughout.

Challenging course with plenty of water. Very enjoyable

Robert D Devine 2019-05-05
Front nine is flat with lots of water. Most holes are a long slog. Greens on this this nine were mostly poor. The second nine is laid out over a more hilly area. Holes here are more pleasant to play. Greens on this nine were very good. Not a course I would take a group back to. Course generally is very difficult for mid to high handicappers.

Fran Mackey 2019-04-17
This is a fantastic course and is in great condition. The group really highly rate this course.

Aaron O'Rorke 2019-04-07
Very good course, a very good test for our fourball of 5, two 6 and 15 handicapper players. Thought the service was excellent. We arrived an hour early of our tee time. The caddy master gave us the option to go out earlier start the back nine first as there was a major group in front of us and possibly be a slow round. We were impressed with his honesty however declined the offer and decided to enjoy our pre round coffee!! Weather wasn't in our favour and asked to walk in after 9, have a tea till goes over and start again on 10th hole after. Staff where very happy to oblige. Overall rate this course every highly. Will give them a 9.5 / 10 and only reason for not full 10 is that a couple of greens can do with very minor attention. Will very much like to play again.

Claudia Kirchfeld 2019-04-06
Easy booking, great course with wonderful views. The staff was polite and helpful.

Jackie Robinson 2019-04-05
Got a bit wet and cold on front nine and they allowed us to have coffee and chips to warm up before continuing with back nine!

ADRIAN FRASER JONES 2019-03-18
excellent course

ian nicholas 2019-03-17
Really enjoyed the course and the views from the clubhouse.

Simon Brice 2019-03-14
Lovely course, great fun

Mr A van Doorn 2019-03-08
To many people on the golfcourse. We make 5,5 hour on 18 holes. The price of a golfset we asked was 35 euro for old and very often used Cobra golfset

Richard Moss 2019-02-25
Course was nice and empty. A typical Seve design. We found the front 9 tough with lots of water broughtinto paly by the fresh breeze. Quite walkable, although one long walk on the back 9 (from 16 to 17?). We would play it again if in the area.

Raul Reis 2019-02-22
Good golf course

Ian Humphreys 2019-02-19
Great course

André Bednarz 2019-02-13
We really enjoyed a good service there. Nearly new buggies in good conditions were brought to us, equipped with a scorecard, pencil and a drink (water) for each player. Nice course, good staff and sunny weather. A perfect day!

R.J.Loyer 2019-02-13
I like the golfcourse very much , because how it is situated and variety of the holes

David Askew 2019-02-05
Beautiful day .. disappointed by condition ofbunkers compressed because of machine rakers . Need more maintenance very untidy

Stig Fredriksson 2019-02-03
It is very satisfying to see that the bunkers now is in better condition than ever before. This course is the most challenging and interesting in east Algarve and the staff is very helpful and serviceminded.

Timo Salomaa 2019-01-04
It is a good course with nice and special layout. It is really fun to play it.

Ian Brotherston 2018-12-04
A really interesting layout which looks more intimidating than it is in my view. There is lots of water but you can always work your way around it. It is in a fabulous location and I really enjoyed this course. The only downside was the greens which were not in good condition - slow, bare in parts and bumpy. This was odd as the rest of the course was in good condition. Recommended and would score more highly if the greens were good. By Algarve standards this is really good value for money.

Gillian Travis 2018-11-24
Greens in much better condition than 1 week go. Staff extremely helpful & sent us off as a 2 Ball off 14th to beat slower playing groups...….. Love the course & layout as 2 fantastic contrasting 9s. A real challenge & excellent value for money. A must visit as far as we are concerned in the eastern Algarve. Will return as low handicap golfers.

Billy Freeland 2018-11-18
Thunderstorms Only played 9 Good Course Greens a little patchy

Gerard Mulder 2018-11-06
Course in poor condition, very slow and bumpsy greens

Miquel Torres Oliver 2018-10-31
Even though we had a very rainy day, the course was enjoyable and masterfully designed. You need to plot your way in between dozens of water hazards so it is challenging even for low hcp golfers. High hcp golfers may have a tough round and loose a considerable amount of balls. The views of the valley are great except for the series of abandoned buildings since the financial crash in 2007, which is a pity. The staff is kind and helpful and the greenfees and bar prices are very affordable.

A.van Doorn 2018-10-17
Fairways excellwnt. Greens in a bad shape. Overall: Good golfcorse

Ken Winter 2018-10-16
Thanks for your help, all went well

Marie Harpur 2018-10-15
we loved the golf course and the views are spectacular. Very tough test of golf as you really have to work out the positioning of each shot, great course. The only complaint was the greens, they are in unbelievably poor condition. Quite the worst greens we have ever played on in Portugal. many thanks, Marie Harpur

Michael Dobson 2018-10-15
Good value, two rounds of golf and a buggy 117 euro, and a course in very good condition.

Mark Punter 2018-10-14
The course was in poor shape. Greens were spongy ( a number of balls plugged on the green), bare patches and very bumpy. Bunkers were worse, compacted and like concrete or no sand at all with only one or two exceptions. The organisation was superb as usual though! Thanks Ron!

Christian Hoornaert 2018-10-14
Very good course

Billy Freeland 2018-10-13
Very good

Jackie Robinson 2018-10-08
Excellent value even if we did have to start off the 10th and then the 11 th!

David Patterson 2018-10-07
The course was very busy but the staff worked very hard to help us get round quickly. I was very impressed with their service

Richard Emm 2018-10-01
Tough and challenging. Lots of water

Martin Osborne 2018-09-25
The course was a challenge especially in 34 degree heat but also due to the need to plan your shots and positioning avoiding the many hazards. It's a beautiful course with stunning views and remarkably unbusy

Elaine 2018-09-14
Lovely course quite challenging, could not fault the service from reception to bar everyone very welcoming, even got bottles of water with the buggy. Would definately play again.

John Flanagan 2018-08-15
The staff in both the reception and the bar/restaurant were very efficient and provided a warm welcome. As a golf course the layout is excellent and provides a good challenge of golf, however the course is currently showing a lack of attention in the areas of bunker management and the quality of the greens where there appears to be a lot of poana grass appearing on the greens, many of which so not roll smoothly. Some of the challenges with the greens might be explained by the recent hot weather but only a small part. Value for money is very good.

Mr verot 2018-08-12
Very quiet golf course: not too sure why We’ve all enjoyed our round Challenging, some long holes One of the best one around to my mind

Paul Churcher 2018-08-06
Very impressive. Great service and straight in the course

Gareth Toms 2018-06-26
Nice interesting course, quite a lot of water which made it challenging. In good condition

Eammon Ryan 2018-06-25
Excellent course, well maintained. Very enjoyable experience

Phil Townsend 2018-06-25
best condition I have ever seen it.

Mike Needham 2018-06-22
Top class. Easy booking and a great course.

Rob van Gameren 2018-06-18
A nice and challenging golf course with beautiful views towards the river.

jackie robinson 2018-06-13
Excellent service as usual

Geoff Wilson 2018-06-08
Difficult.and challenging golf course it very enjoyable experience

Kevin Sanders 2018-06-07
Staff very friendly. Course good, although the later greens needed some work.

Mark Hughes 2018-05-26
Nice course, with hardly any players on it! Lots of water and it can be tricky if you are wayward off the tee!

Bèr Raemaekers 2018-05-16
Als je aankomt op de baan is het niet zo indrukwekkend dan banen in de buurt. De mensen bij de receptie zijn uiterst vriendelijk. En dan de baan in. Start hole 1 par 5......dan weet je dat Seve hier veel verrassingen in petto heeft. Smalle fairways ,eiland greens doglegs en strategisch aan te spelen greens enz....Een baan die zwkwr de moeite waard is om aan te doen....prima hole 19....de moeite waard.

C.J. Vloon 2018-05-14
Not busy, but very difficult when it is windy

Mikaela Ingberg 2018-05-03
Nice course but not so easy :)

Smits 2018-04-24
Superb condition. Staff excellent

Eamonn Ryan 2018-04-22
Great course and spectacular golf challenge

Stuart Johnston 2018-04-21
Played Quinta Do Vale on 20 April 2018. Great test of golf. Lots of water on front nine which makes you think about your second shots. Course in excellent condition. Designed by Seve Ballesteros. Unique in the fact that it has 6 par 3s, 6 par 4s and 6 par 5s. A real good test for players of all levels. Highly Recommended.

Mal McLaughlin 2018-04-20
good challenge nice course

Graham Lucas 2018-03-21
We were 4 players, and thought the extra discount applied to 4 with buggies, on an already very good price was great value. We were then impressed with the quality of the clubhouse and surroundings. We the loved the course design - difficult, but most enjoyable, and we will return despite the distance from Carvoeiro where stay.

Klaus-Dieter Feldmann 2018-02-23
Golf course very dry and except the green in pour condition. All around the fairways without maintenance. Bridges partly broken. Buggys and trolleys better to reserve in advance. We got no buggy and lousy trolleys. Unfortunately we have booked second round for march 2nd.

Carlos Ferreira 2018-02-18
Greens are fine, but everywhere else to dry Very difficult front nine

Ernest Robinson 2018-02-02
A difficult course, but very enjoyable.

Richard K Emm 2018-01-01
Fairways were a bit tired but a good challenging course

phil townsend 2017-12-20
Other than the compacted bunkers the course was in good condition

David Askew 2017-12-10
Quinta do Vale Golf Course is a fantastic layout greens were fantastic , unfortunately the bunkers need a lot of attention

cathal roarty 2017-12-09
fine trek but bunkers were horrendous. Everything else great

Christian Fuchs 2017-12-03
Everything was perfect!

Kjell Karp 2017-11-29
Excellent condition. Demanding course I would like to play more.

Gill Travis 2017-11-22
Lovely course but needs knowing with regard to clubbing, ditches, dog legs & water hazards.......not much really!!! Would play again, but marshalls really need to get a grip. Played behind some people who need to go on practice field rather than on a golf course, even though having a playing lesson with a German Pro!!!

Dave Parsons 2017-11-18
Heavy storms curtailed the first round there after 9 holes, but they offered to let me play the remaining 9 on another day. Second round there, no problems. The furniture on the terrace is in a poor state, should have been replaced before now..

Michael Saunders 2017-11-14
Great. Lovely facilities, friendly staff, and great Seve Balasteros course in good condition. Very happy. First time I have played a Balasteros course, and I really liked it. Not trick (unfair blind shots, etc) but a good test of golf skill and thought. There are some shots that will test your distance, but you will have to think about how you're going to get to the green.... Do it.

Phil Townsend 2017-11-13
The course was in good condition and the greens were as good as I can recall. The only thing that let the course down was the wet compacted bunkers

Angiulli Francesco 2017-11-08
Very nice location Beatiful golf course I will surely play again on that course Best regard

Doug Smith 2017-11-08
A tough course if you can’t hit the ball well. The yardage’s are critical. Play well - score well. Steve Balesteros designed a thinking Course.

Paul Lenz 2017-11-07
Overall a good experience. Course good, would have liked a choice on which course we played but it is the busy season. Was the most expensive buggy hire that we paid over 5 previous rounds and there was no ice in the cooler box!. Planned to have a meal following our game but they had stopped serving when we got back, Teed off at 13.30

Catriona Thomas 2017-11-05
Very good course available at an unbeatable price. Efficient staff at the desk, and we were able to start slightly early so that we could complete our round.

A. van Doorn 2017-11-04
Frontdesk friendly Buggy good Fairways good Greens good.

A. van Doorn 2017-11-02
To many players on the course. We played more then 5 hours!!!

Richard Ashley 2017-10-23
Great course, not easy. Staff were fantastic, loved it.

María Jesús Fernández 2017-10-19
Nos ha gustado mucho , es divertido y complicado. No te deja indiferente. Recomendable buggy sobre todo en la segunda vuelta. Buen estado de mantenimiento. Volveremos

A. van Doorn 2017-10-18
Front desk friendly Buggy good Greens very good Fairway good. Rather difficult but nice course. All together prima!

Michael Bryan 2017-10-16
Challenging course with two very different nines. Ended up walking as my reserved buggy was not available. Pace of play again poor with no ranger. Summed up by four matches queued on 18th tee! Still worth another visit though.

Mr Stephen Macguffie 2017-10-15
Ecellent

Michael Bryan 2017-10-06
An interesting challenge in good condition. Well worth a second visit.

Geoff Symonds 2017-09-22
Great golf course, nobody playing it, millionaires golf!.

Tom Bettaney 2017-09-14
Fantastic golf course but lacked some water. A bit hot when I was there 45degrees. But service was excellent

Phil Townsend 2017-07-18
Excellent, never seen it in better shape

Peter Noonan 2017-05-17
Top class course at reasonable price

frank crawford 2017-05-07
Much better than I remembered it from last year - a tough course to get used to

Bernd Bachmann 2017-04-16
The golf course Quinta do Vale, located near the Spanish border, offers two faces. The first 9 holes are played in the valley and must include some water hazards in his game. On the other hand, the 2nd nine holes are well embedded in the more hilly landscape.

Gerry Malone 2017-04-12
Most enjoyable, not very busy.

A. van Doorn 2017-03-25
Too many people on the course. Very slow playing!!

A. van Doorn 2017-03-23
Too many people on the course. !!

Jackie Robinson 2017-03-04
Unfortunately they had cut the reeds and so many balls rolled in to the water! Benemor in excellent condition

Matthew Hill 2017-01-09
I've also played recently at Quinta do Vale, which is excellent value for money compared to other courses in the Algarve, Give it a try!

David Patterson 2016-11-15
The buggies were in excellent condition and the course was in great shape

A. van Doorn 2016-10-31
Good golfcourse to day Best in the region

Julian Pallister 2016-10-31
too much water for me!

Justin Parker-Hann 2016-10-16
Had a nice welcome in reception and they politely warned us if we had enough balls.The first 6 holes are pretty tough and it is easy to see why they asked us about having enough balls as there are water hazards everywhere !!. That said, it does become easier after the initial 6 holes and i found it a lovely course which was Seve's last design before he sadly passed away.My favourite course out of the 4 we played and i think once you have played it once you will find it easier to play the second time round. 8/10

Eric Healey 2016-09-10
A very under utilised course at good price

Nicholas Kjelgaard 2016-06-26
This was booked as a bit of a make weight, at least that is what we thought. The front 9 can feel a bit unfair almost every shot feels like it is over water, but the back 9 is great. The greens were as good as any we had played in Portugal. I would ask people to make the effort to go out and play it, the course needs money and it will be brilliant.

Jackie Robinson 2016-03-04
Fun as usual and cooperative staff

Alan Potts 2016-02-08
Looking a bit tired. But we love the test

A. van Doorn 2015-11-13
Difficult Course but well preparerd

A. van Doorn 2015-11-11
Difficult but well prepared course

Dave Thompson 2015-10-30
Althugh course was very wet it did not spoil the golf. This couse is quite demanding and requires you to think before you take what looks like an easy shot. Reception was very good and helpful Will return.

Hanspeter Spaelti 2015-10-23
everything ok
