Located close to Carvoeiro in the western Algarve, Pestana Vale da Pinta Golf Course offers a traditional parkland-style round with a strong reputation for year-round conditioning. Designed by Ronald Fream and opened in 1992, this par-71 layout winds through gently rolling terrain lined with mature trees, including ancient olive specimens that add character to several holes.

While not overly long, the course rewards accurate driving and careful approach play, with well-positioned bunkers and subtly contoured greens placing an emphasis on strategy. A former host of the European Seniors Tour Qualifying School, Vale da Pinta remains a popular choice within the Pestana Golf collection for golfers seeking a balanced and enjoyable test in the Algarve.
