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.

Course is a bit untidy, we know it is affected by the lack of rain but the staff are excellent

Lovely course though greens a bit bobbly and bare in patches. Loved the signature par 3 on the olives (hole 8)

Very enjoyable round playing solo at Pinheiros.
the incredibly helpful starter went ahead in a buggy to ask to earlier 4 balls of I could play through this resulted in a round of under 3 hours for 18 holes!
Clubhouse is modern food and drink is reasonably priced and staff are very helpful and attentive. Pro shop is well stocked.
Very good practice facilities located down the hill from the clubhouse.
The course is made up of of 3 nines Corks, pines and olives. Played corks and pines - greens are slow, but receptive one or two were a little bobbly but generally ok. Fairways had one or two bare patches but perfectly acceptable given the continued dry conditions in the Algarve generally.
