Course Description
Vilamoura's fourth course is an exciting addition to one of Europe's finest golfing destinations. It demonstrates the technical and aesthetic excellence which the on-going "Vilamoura XXI" improvement and expansion programme seeks to achieve. Martin Hawtree's completely new front nine holes are a perfect complement to the extensively reshaped original 'North' loop of the Millennium's first nine holes are over rolling parkland, the remainder are set between umbrella pines, such a distinctive feature of this part of the Algarve.

Perhaps the most distinctive change in the back nine- the former 'North' holes -has been the swapping of the par's on the seventeenth and eighteenth. The seventeenth is now a beautifully designed par-4, with subtle undulations in the fairway making the approach distance difficult to judge. For those familiar with the finishing hole as it used to be, there is a treat in store. Now extended and rating a par 5, the new design still tempts the confident player to try for the green in two, setting up a real 'eagle' possibility

Lovely mix of links and parkland golf. The new 9 holes wind their way through umbrella pines.
