Balaia Golf course

Set within the villa complex, our newly open 9 hole executive course is destined to become one of the Algarve’s golfing gems.

This is a course to test every golfer, irrespective of handicap. You can go out and play eighteen holes to concentrate on your short game, without the drilling which time on a practice ground sometimes implies. Alternatively, you can just play nine, leaving plenty of time for other things.

Tee to green distances on the course range from 67 metres to 160 metres.

Though aesthetics are not exactly what golf is about, what you see from the first tee is indeed a pretty sight. An old wooden bridge divides two lakes just in front of the first green and, with the magnificent clubhouse just behind you, hole number one is an opening hole to test the nerves.

Amenities include a 60 base driving range, managed by a well known international Pro, covered bays for all-weather lessons or practice, practice bunkers, chipping and putting greens. In the beautifully appointed clubhouse you will find a pro shop, reception, club hire, trolleys and rental locker facilities not forgetting a large sunny terrace overlooking the course, and a restaurant, with a capacity for 120 guests.

Every week, on Wednesday, 9-hole individual Stableford tournaments are held, followed by a glass or two of cool Sangria... these events are open to all golfers and begin after 2.30pm

Groups and Golf societies are welcome to organize their tournments here. Being centrally located, Balaia Golf is a convenient base for golfers. The three Vilamoura courses are only 15 minutes drive away, Salgados - 10 minutes and Pine Cliffs a mere 5 minutes away. Quinta do Lago, Vale de Lobo, Pinheiros Altos, Vila Sol and the two Carvoeiro courses are only an easy 30 minutes drive.
