Overview
The Course
Expect wide fairways, intelligently placed bunkers, and subtly contoured greens that reward proper angles. The Els Club Vilamoura flows naturally through pine corridors and wetland features, asking you to choose: attack or play smart? Miss on the correct side, flight your wedges, and you'll score. Miss the wrong side… and you'll learn quickly. That's the fun!Signature Holes
Risk-Reward Par 5: Classic Els. A tempting second shot over water for the bold, or a three-shot route that leaves a perfect wedge number. Birdies are on-doubles lurk.Precision Par 3:Mid iron over a shimmering hazard to a green with tiers. Centre of the dance floor is gold; short siding is costly. Club selection is everything.

Pro shop is well stocked, locker rooms are modern, and staff keep things effortless from bag drop to 19th.
