Vale do Lobo Ocean Course overview

Style: Cliff Top

The Ocean Golf Course at Vale do Lobo is one of the most scenic golf courses in Portugal, offering spectacular cliff-top views of the Atlantic Ocean. With fairways that wind through pine, olive, and eucalyptus trees before running down to the coastline, it provides a unique combination of natural beauty and golfing challenge.

The course is famed for its undulating fairways and coastal location. Starting inland beside a nature reserve, the course gradually descends toward the Atlantic shoreline, treating golfers to panoramic sea views from multiple holes. The layout rewards accuracy over power, making it an excellent test for golfers of all levels.

Set against the dramatic Algarve coastline, this course is a must-play for anyone looking to combine championship-standard golf with breathtaking scenery.

Signature Holes

The 15th hole on the Ocean Course is a stunning par 3 that rivals the Royal Course’s famous 16th. Measuring 192 metres from the back tees, it requires precision and confidence, all while offering one of the most spectacular ocean views in European golf.

Our experts say...

" Prefer this course to the Royal. Some cracking holes along the coast line and some great par 3's make this a course well worth playing. Not many houses around the course either."
