Super course
Helpful check in staff
Stuart Green2018-10-18
This is our tour favourite in this region. Unusually we did start at the first tee and as a result built up the expectation of the stretch along the coast on the back nine between 12 and 16 which is glorious, the European version of Pebble Beach. The staff are friendly and courteous, the view and food on the balcony is excellent but a bit pricey, and the course was in ideal condition with reasonably quick greens for October, as normally at the start of the peak season they are often kept a little longer. As a small group of 60+ yrs olds, this was the first year we've used buggies, something none of us like but needed due to an injury, it actually enhanced the course as there's a lot of travel between some greens and the following tee. If you're on the Silver Coast, defo include this in your tour.

Everything was arranged as agreed
Ron Bliss2018-09-23
AMAZING!!! One of the best courses I ever played in my Lifetime.
Ben Maguire2018-09-13
Very enjoyable. Greens a bit battered but didn't impact on game which was not good. All in all a very happy experience
Peter Wevers2018-08-16
Super course. Excellent greens, Nice views and superb airways.
Zoran Cepuran2018-08-05
Beautiful course, exceptional staff in reception, restaurant and pro shop. 10 of 10 for staff. We will come back 100%
Malcolm Thomas2018-05-20
Course was in excellent condition and the greens were a good pace.
All the team were very supportive and friendly.
Pace of play was yet again really slow - just under 5 hours for a round.......this is becoming more like the Algarve!!
One of our party loved using the Golf HoverBoard
Pat Lavelle2018-05-19
Staff very helpful. Very nice course. Generally we were very pleased with our day. One of our group said that there was no signage for the locker room's . Could not fault it in any other way, would revisit again.
Lindsay Geddie2018-05-14
Excellent golf course that provided a true challenge off the back markets
Oliver Burns2017-07-12
The course is brilliant. Good move to prevent buggies from using fairways on 9th & 10th holes which have been in poor condition in the past. It is still one of my favourite courses anywhere in the world. However, the service levels could be improved. Caddymaster staff do not have customer service at the forefront. They expect guests to load bags onto/off buggies where it is normal that caddymaster should help. Availability of pinsheets is poor if you play early on the day they move the pins
Richard John Dentith2016-10-19
Course is great but was looking tired in a few places (bare patches on the fairways and poor tees). Club house was wonderful, we ate there several times. Food was good value and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
helen nellis2019-04-16
Brilliant course. Superb views.
Great staff very helpful
Andrew Burns2019-04-04
Always a great resort, now with 3 great courses
Torben Iversholt2019-03-31
Nice.course with different challenges from hole to hole. Greens can be difficult to read.
Mr Mike Hetherington2019-03-31
Golf course presented in great condition as ever.
While I appreciate it was high season, play too slow. We did not see a course ranger to take care of this issue.
Brent2019-03-24
Terrific from start to finish!
Schmidt2019-03-16
Excellent course with very nice panoramic views.
Front 9 mostly parkland, back 9 along the atlantic coast.
Friendly staff at the reception and on the Course, the guys in the restaurant couldn't handle the crowd during busy times.
We got to start from Tee 10 and struggled to get into the game at Tee 1.
So, for the Course absolutely 10, for the restaurant not more than 4.
Mr William Thompson2019-03-08
Excellent condition but too busy
Johan Passchier2019-02-26

Alan Thompson2018-08-21
Beautiful golf course, always a pleasure to play here.
Gurvan Guillotel2018-07-12
Magnifique parcours situé dans un complexe hôtelier et proche de l'Océan Atlantique.
Le parcours est très intéressant, varié avec deux parties bien différentes avec des trous souvent boisés sur les 9 premiers trous.
Le retour est peut être un peu plus facile même si certains départs sont compliqués car ces trous sont en bord de mer. Le vent est forcément présent sur cette partie du parcours.
D'ailleurs, le golf offre des vues impressionnantes sur l'océan à de nombreuses reprises.
Le parcours est relativement difficile par moment, un index minimum est donc exigé pour jouer ce golf.
Le parcours est très bien entretenu avec des départs, des fairways et des greens qui sont à la limite de la perfection. Le club-house est lui aussi agréable et très moderne.
A cette période (Juillet), c'est la moyenne-saison au Portugal, le rapport/qualité-prix est donc excellent car le golf est somptueux.
Ce golf fait partie de mes favoris et est souvent cité dans les classements de parcours de golf comme étant un des meilleurs du Portugal et d'Europe.
Je vous conseille donc de le jouer, vous garderez un merveilleux souvenir.

Beautiful as ever

Simply Beautiful.
stuart ash2018-06-16
Very attractive course but wind can make it very challenging.
Very good condition both fairways and greens. Some difficult carries off tees.
Richard Dentith2018-06-13
Favorite course in the area and in really good condition. Great fun playing there and quiet as well
Eric de Bruin2018-06-11

Luis Carvalho2018-06-10

Claude H Lalonde2018-06-02
The couse and the greens we’re excellent.
Kristian Almstrup2018-05-26
Nice nature, but extremely slow play and slow greens.
Tony Orre2018-05-21
Fantastic course, playable also in the wind.
John Linton2018-05-18
Lovely course. Great views and very enjoyable golf.
Timo Salomaa2018-05-14
Excelent course. Magnificent views. If you have hard wind it will challence You.
Robert Wood2018-05-13
We played here after Royal Obidos and West Cliffs, and it is nowhere near as much of a challenge as those courses. That said, after the opening 5-6 holes (which are quite dull), it turns into a nice trek, with a series of holes along the edge of the ocean. Clubhouse is more expensive than others and food pretty average
Andy Goodwin2018-05-12
Great experience as always
Peter Heinecke2018-05-08
A great experience
H.Seubring-Vierveijzer2018-05-06
Nice course, not very difficult. Danger when you walk to the 17th.. people at the 14th hit the ball in your face. There should be a warning!
Achim Motte2018-05-05
Great course, fantastic views!
Derek Wickham2018-04-29
nice course in lovely setting and well maintained
Mr Matthew Cohen2018-04-27
Very good course with some lovely scenic holes by the ocean.
The course is slighly spoilt by some tees being extremely small and hemmed in by boundary fences and netting.
Excellent range.
Expensive yet average clubhouse food.
Tom Lawlor2018-04-26
Excellent
Peter Matthews2018-04-25
The course was in excellent condition and we thoroughly enjoyed our round especially the challenging beachside holes! The inland 9 were a little easier. Registration was hassle free.
Alex Cornish2018-04-11
Fantastic course, challenging but doable for high handicappers .
Thoroughly enjoyable.
rolof regouin2018-04-09
a bit disappointing....too many buidings....too american.......not enough open and not very spacious, ...I wont advise this one to others
Vincent Scholten2018-04-06
All day rain, no fun at all. Buggy personnel unfriendly, no towel for drying seats provided. No driving range information and possibility provided.

Stuart Green2017-10-19
Love this course, so disappointed fog prevented us from playing. Reception very matter of fact about not getting on the course, TT had been notified about an hour before.
Jim ward2017-10-05
Very good
Padraic Delaney2017-09-28
Some lovely views, but lacks in comparison to Royal Obidos and West Cliffs
Trevor Clarke2017-09-26
Thoroughly enjoyed the course, which contained holes that were fair to my handicap of 24, had a lot of character and were very tidy. The clubhouse served good quality food with very friendly staff.
Cheryl Myles2017-09-23
We absolutely loved this course. The fairways and greens were in fabulous order with stunning views. It was fairly accessible and straight forward to play, but plenty of tees to choose from if you wanted more of a challenge. The staff in the golf shop and restaurant were fabulous, so much so we played golf on other courses and went back there for drinks and to eat.
Mr. Grant Prior2017-09-16
Greens in poor condition and course a bit unloved
Claude Fatta2017-08-27
Superbe
Malcolm Thomas2017-08-09
Greens as quick I have seen for a number of years. Always a great experience.
Bar menu has improved and nearly back to what it was some years back. Course seemed rather quiet but we were not complaining!!
michiel de heer2017-08-03
Beautiful course but fairways very soft so plays very long. In the afternoon more quiet
ian sampson2017-06-16
Great course with a mix of links and parkland. Only negative was the slow play which caused a major bottle. Neck at the first hole on the two tee start system .
Lorna Winfield2017-06-07
Course in fabulous condition, accommodating staff at reception. Practice facilities however leave a lot to be desired. Mats are old & raised at the ends with no tee-pegs & practice putting green excessively sanded & not representative of the greens on the course. Old & damaged range balls not worth €5.
Janez Dobrovoljc2017-05-10
one of the most beautifull golf courses that we played
Malcolm Thomas2017-05-08
As wonderful as ever. Course in excellent condition. The menu in the clubhouse bar appears to have gone down hill since Marriott took over the running of the club. The menu and value for money is nowhere near as good and we have now stopped eating there. A great pity........
YOUNG LEE2017-04-17
We had a happy holiday in a wonderful golf course with a fantastic view . maybe golf course is the best in west portugal.
Claudio Monaci2017-03-07
The course is beautiful and greenkeeping excellent. All the people from the staff are very kind and the overall experience is great.
One of the best courses I've ever played, i'll be back!
the only suggestion I'd make is to open caddie master reception a bit earlier to avoid players to rush to the tee.
Tapio Potila2017-03-02
Always a nice course although quite short (specially Par5's and Par 3's). Some wet spots on fairways but altogether ok course,
John Risholm2017-03-01
Excellent course
John Whiteley2017-02-20
Always in great condition and the staff are welcoming from the shop through the marshals.
Brian Wynne2017-02-18
Too expensive, great course though.
David Turnock2017-02-17
Always the best.
Graham Ratcliffe2017-02-16
Great course in 1st class condition the views are spectacular. Staff in the golf shop and club house are excellent.
Simon Whittaker 2017-02-07
Very good course and a fair test for all abilities. Also very understanding staff as we was unable to play one day due to my brother being ill.
Christopher Lingle2017-01-31
Praia Del Rey is a true gem! You get great oceanside holes on the back 9, and parkland type holes on the front 9. There is a variety of holes. The course was in great shape, and played true. This was a definite value for your money, and I would play here again!
Andrew Weston2016-10-10
Wonderful golf course and great views
Paul Johnson2016-09-19
Great course and the restaurant team were exceptionally attentive and informative. we had a lovely dinner after golf with some fine wines, recommended by our waiter. Old money club, showing a touch of class throughout. Greens were just above average condition.
Daniel Klug2016-06-24
Excellent golf course, challenging to Play but very very nice, both the land scape as well as the course itself.
michael katzler2016-06-24
Course lovely as always - tee time organisation chaotic will 2 balls and 4 balls all teeing off the same tee - why can't they sort it like other courses??
Guy Brothwood2016-06-22
Course needs some attention - the greens were very slow and often bobbly.
Jim Anthony2016-06-21
Sat 11th booking was excellent. Round as a 3-ball starting at 1st in just over 4 hours. Enjoyed the course
Monday 13th booking - course very busy. Started at 10th. Around in 5 1/2 hours and we could not go any faster. Starter introduced a 4th person to join us. Nice chap, but he was a 30 handicapper who played badly. Much of our time was spent searching for his golf balls and even then he must have lost a dozen - and he was very loose. Have to confess this spoiled our experience somewhat.
Catriona Thomas2016-06-21
Good golf course in a fantastic location. Holes 12-17 especially offer outstanding views, and the tree-lined holes further inland aren't bad either!
Mark Richard Thomson2016-05-25
Again very welcoming club which is obviously very established. The course was in magnificent condition with a great location on the coast. Overall this was regarded as the favourite course of the group.
Simon Kaye2016-05-22
Great course
Marcel Klemenz 2016-05-22
Even with a lot more houses around the fairways still a good golf course. Helpful staff and good atmosphere at reception and restaurant
Malcolm Thomas2016-05-21
Golf course as great as usual. The lunch menu is still not as good as it used to be and is on the expensive side
Juha-Pekka Korttila2016-05-21
Good mixture of links and park. Very good indeed.
Peter Haywood2016-05-09
great golf course, friendly staff, excellent condition
Tom Lawlor2016-05-07
The group really enjoyed this course. It would be nice to start on first tee but it wasn't a big issue.
arnaud brun2016-05-06
great link nice to play and score, excellent value
Adrian Thorogood2016-05-04
It's always close to a 5 hour round at PdR. It's a lovely course but the constant waiting year after year is starting to make us look at other courses.
Joachim Stark2016-04-05
Praia is our favourite and staff also very helpful managing perfectly an incident we had.
John Whiteley2016-03-09
Excellent drainage,established traditional course very easy to walk. Staff always attentive usually aware of slow play.
John Risholm2016-03-02
Excellent
Steve Wallace2015-11-23
Great Course with a great variation of views . A must for any golf tour in the Lisbon Area.
verner zanchetta2015-11-02
value for the money
Chris Timmins2015-10-30
Sound golf course, what you would expect from Marriott.
simon butterwith2015-10-23
Play very slow, looks like overbooking. Nothing worse than playing the first 9 holes to find they let more people in front of you who are starting at the 10th.
Stephen Moore2015-10-22
Very enjoyable despite the rain on the first two days.
Tim Newman2015-10-20
Always a pleasure and for once we had a decent paced round although we were off first at 8am. Clubhouse food a bit pricey but I guess you are paying for the overall experience. Great facilities and course in good condition, especially the greens.
Clive Smith2015-10-19
Always a favourite of ours. Interesting to note that a second course is now under construction, which will add to the appeal of the resort. Disappointed to start from 10th tee.
