Dom Pedro Old Course

The Old Course opened in 1969 as the first of the Vilamoura courses. Frank Pennink routed it over gently rolling ground covered in umbrella pines, and the trees are the main hazard: stray off the fairway and you are often blocked out. Martin Hawtree remodelled the course in 1996 and it reopened the following year. It hosted the Portuguese Open in 1976.

At par 73 and 6,254 metres from the back tees it is a proper test, and accuracy matters more than length. It is now part of the Dom Pedro collection, alongside Pinhal, Laguna, Millennium and Victoria. In many of our Vilamoura packages the Old Course is available for a supplement on top of the included rounds. The clubhouse has a restaurant, bar, pro shop and a full practice area.
