This was our final round of our 4 course tour and even though it rained all day the course was in magnificent condition fairways meandering through pine trees and superb greens which rewarded good putts,anyone visiting the algarve has to put this course on there list of must plays.

Have just returned from the Algarve where we played 8 rounds during a two week stay. We played the Old Course twice, firstly on Oct 4th then again on Oct 9th.

On the first visit we were delighted to find the course back to it's best. On the 2nd visit we were less pleased.

The Starter watched one member of the 4-ball in front take 5 air shots on the first tee, removing two massive divots in the process. The guy was still drunk from the night before and I was amazed that the Starter allowed the guy to play. The guy hacked his way round the course and when we complained to a marshall he said the course is very full and play is slow. 5hrs is more than slow.

All the "Oceanico" courses we played were over full in my opinion. We had already booked for March '08 but we will be looking for an alternative venue for next October.

Played The Old Course May 06. After playing the majority of the courses on the Algarve this is definetely in our top two. Even though we played in the rain the condition of the course was outstanding. Every hole meanders through the trees with many doglegs and tight driving holes. The course does undulate a lot but is worth walking/carrying to appreciate the course. There are a collection of terrific par 3's (especially the 3rd). After playing the Vilamoura Millenium this is a big step up in class. Really cant fault this course.....go play it!

One criticism - the place was definitely overbooked when we played. Our round took 5 hours plus. They do ask for your handicap before teeing off but the guys in the groups in front of us could not possibly have been less than a 28 handicap.

That said it is unequivocally a GREAT course - the atmosphere amongst the (heavily) tree lined fairways is magic. You do need to be straight - anything of line is in the aforementioned trees. It's more expensive than its Millenium/Laguna/Pinhal brothers but it is in different class in terms of challenge and design. A thoroughbred.

A fantastic course, expensive but I felt worth shelling out for. Played 20/4 and work was being carried out on some greens which left them very sandy but it didn't detract from how good the round was. The course had 4 truly fantastic par 3's. You need to take your A1 driving game as once in the trees you had to take your punishment.
