Course Overview
The English architect of this course has carefully maintained the original topographical nature of this undulating terrain. Changes when necessary have been kept to a minimum to preserve the natural state of being. The outward nine-holes are testing for a golfer starting with a par-4 of 381 metres. Next an even longer par-4 hole, then another par-4 of 385 metres. To follow the sixth and eighth holes, both par-5s, are awaiting the player with each a little under 500 metres. The back nine has two par-3 holes that are attractively designed. The par-5 on the fourteenth is particularly difficult to achieve with a tricky green awaiting the player.

Opened in 1991, Vila Sol gained international acclaim by hosting the Portuguese Open for the next two years and is now rated No. 88 in Europe by Golf World magazine. The 27-hole course operates as three 9-hole loops that can be played in any combination. The narrow fairways demand accurate tee shots and the many water hazards make club selection a real challenge. The course is always perfectly manicured and the greens are superb
