27 holes (2 x 18 holes Championship & Academy course), par 72, 6.393 m. Designed by Donald Steel. Open in 1991
Located in the Central Algarve, the Vila Sol Golf Course is set on 75 acres of natural beauty. It accommodates these two magnificent golf courses: Pestana Vila Sol Championship and Pestana Vila Sol Academy Golf Course.
This 27-hole golf course comprises three 9-hole loops, each presenting varying degrees of difficulty and all beginning and ending at the clubhouse. Holes 1-9 of the Prime loop are the most challenging, the long and narrow fairways surrounded by various lakes requiring exacting tee shots. The Challenge loop (holes 10-18) is characterised by its heavily undulating greens, while the Prestige loop (holes 19-27) requires increased accuracy to manoeuvre the narrow fairways and natural features that are ingeniously placed to create obstacles along the way.
Since its inception in 1991, Pestana Vila Sol golf course has hosted the PGA European Tour Portuguese Open in 1992 and 1993
