The Dom Pedro Millennium Golf Course in Vilamoura, Portugal, with a par of 72, played a crucial role in solidifying the region's reputation as a premier European golf destination upon its opening in 2000. This course, which introduced nine new holes alongside a revamped second nine from the original 27-hole Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course, presents a more open playing field compared to its counterparts. However, holes 3 through 7, nestled amongst pine trees, echo the tighter fairways seen at Dom Pedro Old Course Golf Club and Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course, demanding precision. The course's latter part is embellished with lakes, especially notable on holes 17 and 18, promoting a straightforward strategy for navigation. In the realm of Algarve golf, the Dom Pedro Millennium Golf Course emerges as one of Vilamoura's finest offerings.

Nestled in the heart of Algarve, the Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course stands as a testament to golfing excellence since its inauguration in 1976. Crafted by the visionary Frank Pennink, and later refined by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1985, this course is a harmonious blend of design genius. It meanders through gently rolling parkland, with fairways bordered by aromatic pine trees. A distinct challenge is posed by the presence of Umbrella and Atlantic pines, strategically placed to test golfers' precision, especially on approaches to greens. Recent enhancements have added length to various holes, preserving the challenge Pennink initially envisioned. Stretching over 6,353 metres from the white tees and boasting a par of 72, the course offers a robust challenge. Golfers will find solace in knowing that the water hazards present on five holes are generally forgiving. The clubhouse, with its breathtaking views over the course, the driving range, and the practice areas, underwent a complete renovation at the millennium's dawn, offering an idyllic spot for unwinding after a day on the greens. Its rich heritage and distinctive features render it an essential visit on any Algarve golf tour, making the Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course a memorable component of the Vilamoura Golf Courses experience.
