Designed by four-time major champion Ernie Els, The Els Club Vilamoura is one of the Algarve’s newest and most anticipated additions to its world-class golf scene. Opening in 2025, this par-72 championship course is set within the prestigious Vilamoura resort area, surrounded by rolling terrain, umbrella pines, and views that stretch toward the Atlantic Ocean.

The design reflects Els’ signature style — wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and large, contoured greens that encourage thoughtful shot-making and reward creativity. Built to the highest standards of conditioning and sustainability, the course is intended to deliver a balanced test for all skill levels, from resort guests to touring professionals.

With its prime location near the Hyatt Regency Vilamoura, the marina, and other renowned Algarve courses, The Els Club Vilamoura is set to become a new benchmark for modern golf in southern Portugal — combining refined design, natural beauty, and understated luxury in perfect harmony.
