We visited Palmares golf for a second time in March 2013 as part of a golf break. We had visited in 2012 and thought it a really good course in a beautiful location, but sadly the inadequate management of bookings and non existent marshalling had meant a 6 hour round including a final rush to avoid nightfall. The manager had... More

Interesting layout, two distinct "flavours", hilly parkland and seaside links golf. Clubhouse facilities a little temporary looking, not sure if there is a more substantial building at the course that was undergoing renovation. However, the facilities were good, restaurant was good, carts, buggies all organised well. Fairways cut quite "tight", as favoured by the better golfers. When we visited the... More

We like to thank Vasco (táxi driver) for the excelente service. Palmares has a fantastic view from the green fields and contrasts well with the colors of the sea which is so close. Our intention is to play on other golf courses in south Portugal and use the same transport and driver. We always have lots of fun. After so... More

Now it has 27 holes all a good test of golf,a bit expensive,seems like they have spent all the money on course non left for changing or bar.

Played the 2 loops of 9 to the south of the Clubhouse. Really enjoyed the course - where some holes had been changed some parts of the existing fairway seemed to have been left which was a bit confusing. The staff were great. We practiced 2 days-the facilities were good. So why do I give it 3 stars and not... More

We are a retired couple on a golf break in October 2012. We stayed in Lagos which is only a few minutes drive from Palmares. We played the course twice, each time with a lunch time tee and the story was the same on both occasions. Poor organisation meant vast overbooking and queues right from the first tee. Such a... More

The changes that they have made to this golf course are excellent. Now they have 27 great holes and have retained the Links part down by the beach. I played it in September and the greens were great and true and overall enjoyed the round. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent golf course with 3 loops of 9 holes - we played all 3! 1-9 are more parkland with 4 and 5 being the most memorable with outstanding views. 10-27 are more links with a couple of fantastic par 5's and some wonderful par 3's. The welcome is warm and the food in the clubhouse is very good although a... More

Having played the Old Palamres, we included this in the 4 day trip from which we have just returned. We played the Alvor followed by the Lagos courses. This was by far the most expensive course played so I was expecting considerably more than before. I was disappointed, the clubhouse is unchanged and antiquated, one toilet each for both ladies...
