Set among the rolling hills of the Algarve, Laguna Vilamoura feels a bit different to its neighbours. It's got a links-leaning feel that you don't always get in southern Portugal, with more open sightlines, rumpled fairways and bunkering that's there to catch a lazy line rather than simply look pretty.
Water is the headline act. The course threads through a network of lakes and streams that come into play on 11 holes, so you'll score far better by plotting your way around than trying to overpower it. Keep it in play off the tee, choose your angles and you'll give yourself plenty of chances. Miss on the wrong side, though, and you'll be reaching for another ball sooner than you'd like.
In the warmer months it often plays firm and quick underfoot, which brings the ground game into it. If you enjoy a bump-and-run or a chased-up approach, you'll have fun here, especially when the breeze gets up.
You're also perfectly placed for a golf break. Laguna sits just minutes from the beach and the bustling Vilamoura marina, with loads of hotels, bars and restaurants on your doorstep. It's an easy one to slot into a sunny Algarve itinerary, particularly for groups who want plenty to do after the round.
Include Laguna Vilamoura on your next Algarve golf holiday.

Laguna Course
The Laguna was designed by Joseph Lee, an esteemed American golf architect, and was opened in 1990. From the championship tee markers the course reaches 6,706 yards, and is a greatly enjoyable test of golf for every visitor.
The main obstacle apart from the ever-present water is the wind, which can be a nuisance as the location is somewhat exposed, but alternatively a cooling breeze can be extremely welcome, particularly in the steamy summer months.

One of the nicest Golf courses in Vilamoura in my opinion.
On the day it was in good condition with plenty of water hazards as it name implies.
I would suggest you take enough golf balls as when I played it in breezy conditions it can be a very good test of your game.
A lovely course which I would certainly recommend playing.

The most difficult of all the courses we played. A challenging course with water hazards and greenside bunkers to test the skill of any golfer. Well worth the visit but the majority of the group [8 golfers] found it difficult and returned low scores.
