    I'm thinking about booking a golf trip to Portugal and in particular a deal to stay in Pestano Carvoeiro Golf Resort which has two courses on the resort and two more close to it.

    The courses are Gramacho, Vale de Pinta, Silves Golf and Alto Golf.

    Has anyone here any ever played any of these and if so your views on them.

    Thanks

    I played Gramacho, Pinta and silves last November, Thought Pinta was class, Gramacho was similar and Silves was decent as well except for a coke factory close by that normally sweeps its fumes across a couple of the fairways, we were on a package with Pestana staying in Alvor. We had a choice of Alto or Vila Sol and chose Vila Sol as the feed back from golfers we met in the hotel was that Alto wasn't up to much. Hope this helps.

    Played Gramacho and Vale de Pinta two years ago. Played both twice. Loved them both but had a slight preference for Gramacho. I believe its held some European Seniors Tour events also.
    Very impressed with the courses. You should love them.

    all well worth a visit except Alto. Silves is the best imo.....there's a cork factory which emits steam not smoke every now and then so it's harmless....like most tourist courses be prepared for a 5/5.5 hour game
