Best Golf course in portugal

R	Robert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Course is pretty shabby and not too well maintained. Lots of winding up and down paths between green and tee so definitely would recommend a buggy. Club house was nice enough.
M	Marc Walker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We've been visiting the Algarve to play golf annually for more than a decade and have played Vale de Pinta several times. Unfortunately we have seen a real decline in the conditioning of the course in the past two years. The greens have been unbelievably poor in the last two Septembers, this year the rest of the course was fairly shabby too. Every green was like the ones in the photos, basically unplayable. If you tee off after 10am there never seems to be a buggy readily available and this year they hadn't even noted down our buggy reservation. Once one of the better courses in the western half of the Algarve, we won't be back for a while.
M	Mike Heathfield on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our visit was marred by the extortionate pricing policy. 3.50 Euros for a half of lager and 23 Euros for an electric trolley. Staff attitude was better compared to our last visit - see below. Course has a poor finish - a boring slog up 18 and an underlying theme of a walk through a housing estate. OK but not worth the Green fee rates published on the web - general pricing means it is one to avoid. Course layout is better than the staff who barely get one star. Pro shop receptionist at 11:00 on Sunday 15th April was abrupt and unhelpful in sticking to an extortionate buggy charge of 45 Euros when we were not allowed to depart from cart path. 90 degree rule allowed later but we were not informed. All they seem to care about is maximising revenue rather than customer satisfaction.
P	Paul Bailey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Far better than it's sister course Gramacho Some very interesting holes, if there is a criticism, there are too many holes on / around the same length, ( i seemed to hit a mini driver and mid to short iron in many holes) all the par 3's are good, not long but accuracy is required, the 18th is a very long par 5...... just about got there with a mini driver and 2 x 3 woods.
b	billy bolstridge on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Second trip to the area, played this course twice. It's a lovely course. Good condition, great for a average golfer like me. Friendly staff. Play is slow. Buggys at 45euro are expensive. Just feel if buggys were cheaper less people would walk and play would be quicker. I've walked it before and it's not the easiest of walks.
D	David Cuthbert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not been for a few years, would recommend , bit quirky bit don't be put off. Card tell you where to go. Nice clubhouse and friendly staff. I will go back.
N	Neil Bridgwater on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting, fun, great condition with an excellent clubhouse. Can't wait ho go again!
A	Allan Rutter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't miss Vale da Pinta if playing in the Algarve. The course is long enough to test golfers of all standards and handicaps. Tees, fairways and rough all well maintained. Greens had enough slope and speed to test ther best putters. Amazing value for money today for a single twilight at 1.45pm with buggy was only €65. I've played quite a few of the so called gems of the Algarve but tbh you will play far worse courses and pay twice as much as you will at Pinta. Pinta isn't Val do Lobo Royal but beats most of the mid range courses (€95-€135) by a long way. Looking forward to finishing my week at Val do Lobo Royal tomorrow and hope that in the last two years it hasn't deteriorated. On this trip I found two of the supposed lesser lights in Espice & Val da Pinta and both absolutely blew my socks off with how good they both were.
