Simply beautiful
This course favours the long hitter, but requires the skill to score well. Although the front and back nines are both anti-clockwise loops, the first nine favours a draw, while the second favours a fade from the tee. An enjoyable experience for players of all standards.
Course Highlights
Nice shots
The Ocean Course, part of the Vale de Lobo tourist resort, is located near the sea, thus creating a very pleasant envrionment for a round of golf. The course of Vale de Lobo, which hosted, in 1987, The Portugal Ladies Open (part of the WPG European Tour) has matured since its inauguration in 1966.
Course Highlights
Best bunkers
The original Vale do lobo course containing 3 nine hole sections was designed by Sir Henry Cotton, but since the addition of a new 9 holes it has been separated into two 18 hole courses. The new course, (The Royal Course) has retained the original yellow nine which includes the famous seventh hole which is Vale do Lobos signature hole.
