Oceanico Millennium Golf Course, Vilamoura Algarve

Central Algarve Region, Par 72, 6176 metres, 2000.


Green Fee Guide: €€


Overview: Millennium is located on the edge of Vilamoura. It shares the same clubhouse as Laguna golf course. In fact, the back-nine was once part of Laguna. Martin Hawtree's golf design company added 9 new holes and the course opened in it's present form in 2000, hence the course's name.


Reasons to play Millennium Golf: A very playable course for all golfers. It's a great course for mid-handicap golfers off the yellow tees, but low handicappers will want to go off the medal tees. The woodland section of the course, holes 3 to 7, is one of the best sequences of holes in the Algarve. 


Factors to consider at Millennium Golf: It is only lightly undulating, so you can save on a hiring a buggy. If you want to play 36 holes in one day, you could combine Millennium with Laguna next door. The front 9 is stronger than the back, so you might consider starting your 18 holes from tee 10 (which is easy to book on this course) and keeping the best holes for later in the round.


Degree of difficulty of Millennium Golf: You do need to keep it straight on the woodland section and the back-nine is a bit tight in places. But generally it is fairly forgiving and the greens are fair, so a good score is quite possible.


Our overall verdict: Millennium offers a very pleasant round of golf. Worth Considering
