Wide fairways, water hazards, and pure risk-reward golf.
Dom Pedro Laguna offers a refreshing contrast to the tree-lined courses of Vilamoura, with wide fairways, expansive lakes, and a links-style feel that invites bold play. Designed by American architect Joseph Lee, it’s the most open and exposed of the Dom Pedro layouts, delivering a fun, fast-paced round with plenty of visual drama.
Water comes into play on no fewer than 11 holes, demanding accuracy and composure, especially when the coastal breeze picks up. The flatter terrain makes it one of the more walkable courses in the Algarve, but don’t let its friendly appearance fool you — poor course management can be punished here.
Conveniently located near Vilamoura’s top resorts, Laguna is a popular choice for those looking to add variety to their golf itinerary. Often played in combination with the nearby Millennium Course, it’s ideal for mixed groups and golfers who enjoy risk-reward shot-making.
