Considered one of Portugal's most emblematic golf courses, Old Course Vilamoura continues to assert itself as an international benchmark, combining over five decades of tradition with a modern vision of exclusivity, sustainability, and quality of life.
Designed by renowned architect Frank Pennink and inaugurated in 1969, the course is often described as the "Grand Dame" of Algarve golf. Surrounded by majestic pine trees and fairways carefully integrated into the natural landscape, it offers a distinctive experience for golfers of all levels.
In recent years, the Old Course has undergone a profound renovation that has further elevated its standards of excellence. The interventions included significant improvements to the course, new, more efficient irrigation systems, water-resistant turf, modernization of the practice areas, and the introduction of sustainable equipment, reinforcing the resort's environmental commitment.
Another highlight was the complete renovation of the clubhouse, which now presents a sophisticated and contemporary image. The space includes a restaurant, bar, terrace, golf shop, and social areas open not only to golfers but also to residents and visitors seeking to enjoy the exclusive atmosphere of Vilamoura.
More than just a sports facility, the Old Course integrates into Vilamoura's vision as a premium lifestyle destination, where golf, nature, the marina, gastronomy, and high-quality real estate coexist harmoniously. This combination has contributed to attracting international residents and investors seeking a differentiated lifestyle in the Algarve.
The continuous appreciation of leisure and sports assets in the region also reinforces the attractiveness of the local real estate market. For those looking to live or invest in Vilamoura, proximity to world-renowned infrastructure such as the Old Course represents an additional factor of prestige and asset appreciation.
At a time when Vilamoura continues to consolidate its position among the best golf destinations in Europe, the Old Course emerges as a perfect symbol of the union between sport, well-being, and quality of life.
