Set within the heart of Vilamoura, Laguna Golf Course offers a more open and forgiving contrast to some of the Algarve’s tighter, tree-lined layouts. Designed by Joseph Lee and opened in 1990, this par-72 course is characterised by wide fairways, large greens and numerous water hazards that come into play on several holes.

The relatively flat terrain makes it walkable, but accuracy remains important, particularly into the subtly contoured putting surfaces. Exposed to coastal breezes, club selection can vary from one day to the next. For those planning a golf break in Vilamoura, Laguna provides an enjoyable and accessible round with plenty of scoring opportunities.
