Golf Courses at Pestana Vila Sol Golf & Resort

Vila Sol Prime Golf Course

The Prime loop is considered by locals to be the most difficult at Vila Sol, measuring 3,241 metres, where negotiating the tough opening holes requires accurate and powerful driving. The penalties for missing the fairways are severe, so placing the ball strategically from the tee is of paramount importance.

Yellow 3,032 metres
Red 2,728 metres

Vila Sol Challenge Golf Course

The Challenge loop is generally known as the back nine of Vila Sol's testing championship layout, but as opposed to the exacting tee shots of the Prime, its main defences are the heavily undulating greens. Be sure to keep the ball below the hole, as putting downhill here can be treacherous to say the least.

Vila Sol Prestige Golf Course

The Prestige is Vila Sol's shortest nine, at 3,122 metres, but is certainly no pushover; while Steel only worked a mere five bunkers into his design, he skillfully manipulated the indigenous features of the land to create a demanding test. The fairways are narrow on the Prestige, so be sure to keep it straight from the tee.

Vila Sol is also home to a comprehensive golf academy, where the lessons and clinics utilise the latest tuition technology, and can be tailor-made to target specific areas of weakness.

The 6th on the Prime is the resort's signature, an astounding par-5 where you must hit three great shots to weave through the numerous lakes that threaten all around.
