The excellent golf course of the Vidago Palace was redesigned by the firm Cameron and Powell from a Mackenzie Ross original, built in 1936. Currently the course was completely rebuilt according to USGA specifications for tees and greens, has been transformed into a Par 72 course, enhancing the organization of International Championships, keeping the identity of the original design and faithfully reflecting the beauty, the unique qualities for this sport, the spirit and distinctive sign of the place.

Un golf de très grande qualité dans un environnement extraordinaire.
Des départs manucurés, des fairways assez bien entretenus des greens de qualité.
Parcours très exigeant avec de belles longueurs et des dénivelés importants sur le retour nécessitant une bonne condition physique. -**- A very high quality golf course in extraordinary surroundings.
Manicured tees, fairly well-maintained fairways and quality greens.
A very demanding course with good lengths and significant changes in level on the return, requiring a good level of fitness.

No problem with the booking but it is weird that it is possible to book from 7H30 whereas the club-house does not open before 7H45.
The greens were not as good as expected (maybe because the greens have been aerated not so long ago ... but nobody have mentionned it)

I got to Vidago Golf via recommendation from an Estela Golf Club member.It was worthwile my time. A course which I defenitely will play again. Weather, wind and using different tee boxes would make it a new challenge everyday. The course is fun to play and a challenge to play up to your handicap or better. The staff at Vidago is extremly friendly and helpful. Everything was prepared as we arrived and water supplied. They have a good driving range and the changing rooms were clean with everything you needed.
Sittting on the clubhouse terrace afterwards, with a drink in our hands , made our day.
But with ervery praise comes some blame.
In my opinion this place could be rated a lot better!
Little improvements:
a) Distance markers (minimum 150m and 100m)on the side of the fairway, so be seen right away. The markers in the fairway were easy to be overlooked. Not everybody uses a watch or a distance finder.
b) Every bunker (were quite a few...) I hit, wasn´t raked by the person in front of me, judging by the recurring sole marks. A repeating sign, that golf etiquette shouldn`t be forgotten, would help. Not every golfcourse has caddies or greenkeepers, who rake it three times a day.
Larger improvement:
a) The clubhouse is a big hall, which could act as a ball room. It looks very cold and could use some modifications (weather is not always good and different sized groups want their privacy). I think, it would be a must, considering the impressive sorroundings.
b) I don´t know a lot about marketing, but if another Golfer wouldn´t have told me, I would have never discovered. Maybe the management want it that way?
We had great weather, so we sat outside, enjoying the park and the hospitality of the very polite and friendly staff.
I played Western Cliffs and Estela, both outstanding in their own way. So my judgement is subjective but hopefully helpful. I´m convinced, if they want?!, Vidago could easily move up a few ranks in the Portugese Golf ranking.
Thank you!
