It sounds trivial but you now have to pay for the driving range before your round. Previously it was free with a nice pyramid of balls.
Previously late check out was free - it’s impossible to finish your last round before 12noon - now it’s 40 euros.
Previously you left your clubs on the buggy for the next round on the next day and the golf staff cleaned your clubs. Now you have to take your clubs off and put them in the cage with no cleaning. Previously your clubs were transported from the entrance to the club house to the buggies. Now you have to lug them yourselves.
All these little things made for a great experience and now they are gone which was quite sad for us.
The golf courses are still excellent and the greens amazing.
Beaucoup trop de trous en aveugle
TEE depart compliqué . Impression de jeu décevante
In my opinion we had a wonderful Valentine’s dinner at the clubhouse restaurant tonight. The food was elegantly presented and served with attentive care by the waitstaff.
1) The Salmon Tartare, a personal favorite of mine, was exquisite, perfectly complemented by the avocado. On a scale of 0-10, I would give it a 9.
2) The Filet of Beef with Gorgonzola was cooked to perfection, retaining its juiciness while allowing the Gorgonzola flavor to enhance rather than overpower. I would rate it an 8 on a scale of 0-10.
3) The Pannacotta with berries, clearly made in-house, had the unique quality of not imparting an artificial mouthfeel, as can sometimes occur with such desserts.
4) The wines from the Douro Valley were both excellent choices. The red had a light palate with fruity notes, transitioning smoothly to a rich, dense flavor profile of mature dark fruit with a subtle herbal finish. The white wine offered crisp, mineral characteristics with minimal fruity flavors, high acidity, and a hint of salinity. The sparkling wine was decent but not particularly remarkable. While the entertainment lacked vivacity and engagement, the music was fitting for the occasion. Overall, it was well worth the price paid.
Course was a little soft. To be expected considering we visited during a storm but the greens were still incredibly quick.
When I say soft it was only around some of the tee boxes. The rest of the courses were top class.
Already booked for next year.
Some things in the rooms could do with sorting out (shower a bit broken, no batteries in remote etc) to make them better but on the whole was very happy with the 2 bed apartment that we had.
It was an enjoyable stay, the staff were all great and really friendly besides one miserable buggy guy and one lady on reception.
Both course are nice but the Faldo is by far the best. It's a challenging course. O'connor, although a lot more hazards than Faldo, is much easier to score around. It's also a bit tattier than Faldo. The tee boxes are worn and pitch mark galore on the greens for example. It's like no one ever repairs their pitch marks on both course to be fair.
I would definitely come back here again.
Set in the algarve with 2 stunning courses
Christy O'connor jnr and
Nick faldo designed courses varying in difficulty
The O'connor course is flatter and slightly easier than the faldo which has a lot of hill climbs on the back 9
Water, fairway bunkers and thick gorse bushes everywhere on both courses and you will have to be really fit to play theses courses without a buggy. The greens on the O'connor course are the fastest I have ever seen in my 30 years of playing golf with the faldo greens a close second
Please take plenty of spare balls with you OR you can buy used balls off a guy just by the 14th tee on the O'connor course
