Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course is an established 18-hole, par-72 golf course in Vilamoura, originally opened in 1976 and designed by Frank Pennink. The course was later remodelled by renowned golf architect Robert Trent Jones, creating a distinctive combination of traditional and modern design elements.
The first nine holes wind through mature umbrella pines, while the second nine open into more spacious parkland with gentle elevation changes and scenic views towards the surrounding landscape. Lakes and streams come into play on several holes, adding both visual appeal and strategic interest to the course.
With its tree-lined fairways, varied terrain and carefully positioned hazards, Pinhal rewards accurate driving and thoughtful course management. Its classic character and peaceful Algarve setting make it an excellent choice for golfers visiting Vilamoura.
