2 golf courses in Vale do Lobo, Algarve
Vale do Lobo is a prestigious private resort on the Algarve's southern coast, offering two outstanding golf courses cut through umbrella pines and clifftop terrain. The Royal Course's iconic par-3 over the ocean cliffs is one of the most photographed holes in European golf.
The Royal Course is Vale do Lobo's flagship layout and home to the resort's famous clifftop finishing stretch with sweeping views over the Atlantic. Henry Cotton's original design was later refined by Rocky Roquemore and reopened in 1997 with a more sculpted par-72 challenge.
Opened in 1968, the Ocean Course covers 18 holes through Vale do Lobo's mature woodland with strategic lakes and bunkers that reward precise course management. Together with the Royal, it completes 36 holes of complementary parkland golf on the central Algarve coast.
