This attractive course, completed in 1976, was also designed by Frank Pennink, but was subsequently modified by famed golf architect, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. The 5th, 12th, 15th and 16th holes were redesigned by Martin Hawtree, another well-known architect. Recently the 14th hole was subject to modifications.
The existing characteristics of the layout have been retained and these holes were upgraded to improve the overall condition and diversity of the course.
Pinhal is laid out over a mixture of flattish and rolling terrain. Many fairways include narrow necks between ever threatening rows of umbrella pines, but players fortunately also encounter several open holes with pleasant views over Vilamoura and the Atlantic beyond.
The course naturally demands pinpoint positioning from many tees accuracy is also required when playing approaches to the relatively small and well-bunkered greens.
Following the modifications in the course, the clubhouse at Pinhal Golf Course is also being completely renovated and refurbished.
