Quite a nice course which appears to have 2x9hole courses. Some tight fairways and renting a buggy is recommended as the couse is hilly and the distance from green to the next tee is quite a walk. Has a few par 4 holes under 300 yards.

Not staying at the resort so cannot comment on that, we came from the AP cabanas for the day, lovely breakfast to start. We played the Guadiana and grouse, both challenging and both well maintained. The buggy bar was fantastic we purchased baguettes and cold beer from Billy who was so lovely and an asset to the company. Fantastic day all round will be back next year 5/5

Played Castro Marim in Dec 2025...good Winter condition even after the downpour... it's hilly and walkable if well fit or with buggy is more enjoyable ...staff were very helpful suggested us to switch course to avoid playing behind slow group...👍🙏
