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.
Who is this for?
Anyone basing themselves in Vilamoura who wants a change of pace from classic parkland resort golf, plus easy access to the marina and nightlife.
Who is it best for?
Golfers who play with their head more than their muscles, especially mid-handicappers and tidy drivers who don't mind a proper water threat on key holes.

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.

Beautiful course and very well maintained but definitely challenging. The clubhouse is lovely too with a nice big patio overlooking the course. Water and tees provided free with the buggies is a nice touch and we were given lots of information about the course before going out which was helpful.

Let down by rubbish buggies with no navigation systems, expected better. Just never really enjoyed the course as much as the others.
