Vale do Lobo’s Ocean Course has some of the most photographed holes in the Algarve — cliff-top tees running straight along the Atlantic.
The par-3 15th plays right along the beach, and the 11th and 14th are two of the most talked-about par 4s in Portuguese golf.
Highlights
- Designed by Sir Henry Cotton, opened 1985
- Par 73, 6,122m
- Cliff-top par-4 11th and 14th with Atlantic views
- Beachside par-3 15th

The Course
Where You'll Stay
Vale do Lobo Resort
Vale do Lobo is Portugal’s original luxury resort development — villas and apartments spread across 450 hectares, with two kilometres of beachfront and both the Ocean and Royal courses on-site.
It’s more of a small town than a single hotel, so it suits groups who want their own space — a villa with a kitchen, a short buggy ride from the course.
- Villas and apartments across 450 hectares
- Ocean and Royal golf courses on-site
- 2km of private beachfront
- Spa, tennis centre and restaurants on the estate
