Old Course
Vilamoura Old Course was inaugurated in 1969. It is laid over and around gentle sloping hills with tree lined fairways, and poses quite a stern test. Host to the Portuguese Open (1970, 1979,) a golfer playing well will find it delightful.

Victoria Course
New 18 hole championship course designed by Arnold Palmer. Occupying a total area of 90 hectares and with a total distance of 6,560 metres. Every care has been taken to preserve the existing wetland, the carob, olive and almond trees, as well as several lakes which provide reservoirs for the course. With 5/6 tees per hole, wide and undulating fairways, extensive water hazards and well positioned bunkers, Victoria Course rewards the ambitious shot-maker. All 18 greens are totally different shapes and sizes. Playing this course will be a unique and unforgettable experience to any player. This is destined to become one of the best and most sophistocated courses in Europe.
