Ocean: Inaugurated: 1985
The Ocean Course is composed of two of the original 9-hole golf courses designed by Sir Henry Cotton, which were opened in 1968 and 1972. His plans for the merged course became reality in 1995, after his death.
Location
Vale do Lobo is located on Portugal's central Algarve coastline, just 20 minutes drive from Faro International Airport. Lisbon & Seville are around 2.5 hours drive away.
Facilities
• The Golf Club is located in the Parque do Golfe complex in the heart of the resort, which offers a full complement of services, including a branch of Nevada Bob's, and the fully-equipped Fitness Centre with a physiotherapist specialised in golf injuries.
• Meeting and conference facilities
• Golf Academy / Golf coaching / Netted and short game practice areas / Putting green
Both take players through umbrella pine and fig tree-lined fairways to the Atlantic - the Royal playing dramatically along the cliff´s edge, while the Ocean sweeps daintily down to the beach. This combination of links and parkland golf provides an enjoyable game for golfers of all standards.
The Vale do Lobo courses have twice been host to the Portuguese Open.
