South; 7072 yds par 72 - A superb golf course and host to numerous Portuguese Golf Opens, this is a tough and very demanding golf course that states its intentions from the beginning; a 425 yard par four is followed by a tough par 5 and another 400+ yard par four.

Designed by Nick Faldo with strategic play in mind this Vilamoura championship golf course demands careful positioning to score well. Opened in the autumn of 2008, the Faldo Course is certainly one that has a different feel to other golf courses on the Algarve. Whatever you may think about his Ryder Cup captaincy, Nick Faldo on this evidence, can certainly design a golf course. When we visited it, the golf course was in absolutely superb condition and whilst the greens were hard this is perhaps to be expected on a new golf course. The first 4 holes are an excellent opening with a long Par 4 to start followed by a Par 3 with a green so large, only we could miss it. The 3rd and 4th are very testing risk and reward holes. The Par 3's were all fun and, with the exception of 7th, not too long. The designer also likes you to play the right club into his greens and there are penalties if you don't.

7198 yds par 72
