Designed by Nick Faldo, the Faldo Course at Amendoeira has quickly become one of the Algarve's must-play rounds. It winds across the resort's naturally undulating ground, so you're rarely hitting the same shot twice. Despite being one of the newer tracks in the region, it's regularly talked about among the standout layouts in Portugal, and it's easy to see why once you're out there.
This is a thinking golfer's course. The best scores come from picking smart lines off the tee, shaping the odd shot and playing to the right side of the fairway to open up your angle into the greens. The fairways roll and tumble, the greens have plenty of subtle movement and the bunkering is placed to catch anything a bit lazy. In other words, it's not just "hit it hard and hope". Faldo's design rewards patience and punishes lazy golf, the kind of layout where local knowledge pays dividends and a well-played par feels as satisfying as a birdie elsewhere.
The Faldo sits right in the heart of Amendoeira Resort, which makes it a handy base for a proper multi-course break. You're also well positioned for a wider Algarve golf holiday, with plenty of top venues within easy reach to build a memorable trip.
With the Portuguese sun overhead and the terrain doing the talking, it's a round that sticks with you, especially if you enjoy golf that rewards good decision-making over brute force.
Who is this for? Golfers building an Algarve break who want a modern, strategic test in a resort setting.
Who is it best for? Mid to low handicappers, or anyone who likes plotting their way round rather than simply overpowering it.

The best British player of the modern era has a distinct design philosophy, as he seeks to present a challenge to every player; however, he achieves this not simply through extreme length, but by demanding that the golfer exercises some strategy and thought.
In a throwback to Faldo’s illustrious playing days, the golf course requires patience, prudence and guile, and with an extensive selection of tees, every golfer is well catered for. This prestigious development is a landmark on the Algarve and seems set to become a golf holiday star attraction.

A real challenge. I don’t think Mr Faldo was in a very forgiving mood when he designed this one😀

Awesome course, we play it twice throughout our stay and really enjoy the challenge. It's a must play course if you visit the Algarve.
Our Sunday round however, was particularly slow, a group of 1 man and 3 women in front fell a hole behind right from the off. I pointed this out to the starter who said one of his colleagues would be on the course to ask them to let us through. Unfortunately this didn't happen. The problem is that some of the tee boxes are a considerable distance apart and no-one ever seems to be queuing on the tee, its just when they get to the fairway things slow down.
All that said, we will be back next year.
Looking forward to it already !

Faldo course is the harder of the two courses you need buggies because of the distance between green to tee and it is hilly (but great scenery)

The rounds were quick but we were the first group out each morning, the greens were sanded one morning but with the watering system soon bedded in. but towards the end of a season this is to be expected. The green staff were very courteous standing aside to let you play through.

Stunning course. Painfully slow pace of play though. We had to call the Marshall in at one point to speed up groups ahead but they didn't make much difference. Bunkers weren't in best condition. Don't let any of this put you off though, the views and layout are breathtaking.

The course itself was superb and very well kept. The greens were true and each tee made you think about which club to use.
On a bad note. For the 2 rounds we played on this course we had to wait an hour each time for buggies. This caused us to rush some of the holes and not finish on one day

Tougher than the O’Connor, the yellow tees were forward this year making it considerably easier than last year, good test of golf
