Dreadful. Not looked after at all.
The Faldo Course at Amendoeira Golf Resort
Albufeira, Portugal
(715 reviews)
Amendoeira Golf Club overview
The Club at Amendoeira, home to the renowned Faldo Course, offers an exceptional Golf Academy designed to complement the championship experience. With two world-class courses, a floodlit 9-hole layout, and a modern clubhouse, the resort provides the perfect environment for players to refine their game.
The Academy features specialised training programmes for men, women, and juniors, all supported by advanced 'Trackman' technology for precise, high-quality instruction tailored to the demands of a course like Faldo’s.
The Faldo Golf Course overview
The Faldo Course at Amendoeira Golf Resort in Portugal is a masterfully designed 18-hole, par-72 championship course that blends classic golf architecture with a contemporary twist. Spanning 7,258 yards, this stunning Algarve golf course challenges players of all skill levels with strategic layouts and natural terrain.
Unlike traditional parkland courses, the Faldo Course embraces its unique Mediterranean setting, featuring desert-style bunkers, wild herbs, cacti and olive trees in place of heather and dense woodland. Every hole demands precision, as off-line shots can lead to difficult lies and cleverly placed hazards.
Designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo, this course is a standout destination for those seeking a top-rated golf holiday in Portugal. With breathtaking views and a layout that rewards thoughtful play, the Faldo Course offers an unforgettable round of golf in one of Europe’s premier golf regions.
Signature Holes
Nick Faldo masterfully put this course together with the idea of creating one of the best courses in Portugal and while every hole can be considered a signature hole, the par-4 12th hole gets the vote for the best hole on the course.
Golfers are met with a magnificent tee shot over a wooded valley to a ridged fairway above. The fairway then doglegs right with the green perched right next to a magnificent oak tree which guards the right-hand edge.
Did You Know?
In 2016, The Faldo Course won the title of Portugal’s Best Golf Course, given by World Golf Awards.

Simon Green
Very nice course a little harder than the other 2 again fairways and greens great
Feefo customer
Course itself was amazing greens really good and fairways like carpet exactly same as O Connor course. Only downside the tee boxes were awful, clearly too small tee boxes for the volume of golf they receive so lots of divots etc But this was superseded by the rest of the course being immaculate.
Mark Rose
Great
Ian Cooper
Wow what a course. Some scary tee shots, some long holes and plenty of hills. Could not play this without a buggy. Amazing views set in the mountain side. Could not fault it
