5 rounds at Vila Sol Golf Championship Course
27 holes, 6393 metres, Par 72
Internationally known, the Vila Sol golf course is now one of the Algarve’s most sought after golf courses. Having been designed and inaugurated in 1991 by renowned architect Donald Steel, he created the course to blend it seamlessly into the surrounding environment without the need for excessive contouring or the creation of unnatural hazards. The course fits into the original undulating landscape and takes full advantage of the umbrella pine, fig and cork trees which frame every fairway.
Recently refurbished, the Pestana Vila Sol is ideally located allowing guests to enjoy the best of both worlds; accommodation in beautiful settings along with easy access to the cosmopolitan Vilamoura.

Golf Handicaps
This trip is for golfers with a handicap of 36 or lower for ladies and 28 or lower for gentlemen.
Please advise our Reservations team of your handicap at the time of booking, alternatively you can add this to the special requirements box on our booking page. If you have a certificate please ensure you take it with you on the trip, this enables the Tour Leader to assess everyone’s ability, so that rounds and competitions can be organised fairly.
If you are uncertain about these requirements please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to advise you.
Golf Club Insurance
Clients will most probably find that their golf clubs are covered on their household insurance policy. Most policies cover a single item such as golf clubs for a period out of the country. However, clients should make very sure that they do have cover. If not, Solo’s Holidays insurance includes cover for golf clubs and bag.
Buggy, Trolley & Club Hire
Most golf clubs have these items available for hire, however this is not always the case, so clients would be advised to check with us beforehand if they have any specific requirements.
What to Wear:
Golf Shoes with Soft Spikes. Golf attire during the day, we suggest smart casual for the evenings.
Carriage of Clubs
We advise you to use a light golf bag when packing your clubs. We suggest you wrap a towel round the neck of the clubs to protect them and stop them rattling around whilst in transit. It is also important to then place the bag and clubs in an outer carrying bag, which can be purchased from any good golf shop.
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €20.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.
