Great Course in Fantastic Condition
Reviewed July 18, 2016
Roy, Kenny and young Cameron had a great time at Espiche in July playing more than a few games. Fantastic service all round from booking times, arrival, meals and let me say the Golf Course is one of the best I've played. Respect was given to a few holes and we were rewarded with a par or one over. That's fine as we are not scratch players-13,16 and 20. So enjoy, you will not be disappointed and many thanks to all staff at Espiche. See you all next year. Roy

Excellent
Reviewed September 15, 2014
Played the course for first time today. It is in fantastic condition. very tight so leave the driver alone. Staff very friendly and new clubhouse is excellent with beautiful views over the course from the balcony. The best course I have played in the Algarve during a 2week stay. I will definitely return. Not really a course for high handicappers but if you feel like a challenge take plenty of balls.

Rewarding
Reviewed April 22, 2024
After a difficult, confusing approach, a very interesting course awaits you with wonderful views, absolute peace and quiet and a large distance between the fairways. We often advise against using a cart.
The condition of the course showed extremely hard fairways (similar to links courses) and good greens, but difficult to read due to different types of grass.
The starter's question as to whether there were enough balls turned out to be unfounded, but the result on this course is also determined "between the ears".
Why no 5.*?: There is a marshal missing, so an unspeakable playing time of over 5 hours spoiled the mood.
The gastronomy is rather simple.

Great place👌 but not easy to play
Reviewed March 16, 2024
Finally a place away from the mainstream. Embedded in magnificent nature, just like that, without houses. Really big greens that you have to read before putting. Fairways are hard and almost always slanted. Good course management is required here, otherwise you'll run out of balls. There is deep Mackia next to the fairway, the ball can neither be found nor played there. Almost all of the cable cars are designed in such a way that you would think you were traveling alone. So if you are nearby, be sure to play and please take enough balls with you. Clubhouse light great and the staff very friendly. I hope this place retains its beautiful untouchedness for many years to come

We played here twice in November 23rd. The place is actually easy to walk. But we decided on a cart twice. And just as often the battery gave up on number 16. Help was there quickly but?
Clubhouse, services and terrace are great.

Generally nice, but...
Reviewed May 24, 2023
A basically very nice place, in a great scenic location away from ruined buildings and not embedded in uniform apartment house settlements, as is unfortunately more common in Portugal. Very friendly staff at reception / pro shop and in the gastronomy. The e-karts are in excellent condition and you should take a kart if possible, because the course is quite hilly and has many sloping fairways. In addition, the starting frequency was tightly timed with only 8 minutes. We were also on the course during a period of heat (April) that was unusual for the time of year and due to a lack of water in the Algarve, the course was extremely dry, so that balls occasionally bounced unexpectedly into the rough. A few extra balls are therefore advisable. So much for the "but...". Nevertheless, recommended for medium and low Hcps. However, high Hcps are likely to despair.

Place played on March 16,2023 Condition: Fareways acceptable for Portugal, greens partially stained, bunkers to play well and maintained.
The interesting thing is the harmonious embedding in the hilly landscape. As a result, straight lanes do not become too boring and require foresighted play.

A challenge
Reviewed April 20, 2022
We played the course twice in 2019 and twice this year. Unlike most other places in the Algarve, it is not embedded in a mass of any English holiday homes, but extremely close to nature. Balm for nature lovers. Anyone who plays here, controlled by testosterone, will experience a belly landing, because the course demands precise and tactically sensible play. Lots of hanging fairways and undulating greens. There are certainly more spectacular courses in the Algarve, but one can only be satisfied with the state of the course at this time of year. All courses are at least good, some very good and only a few outstanding. Espiche is one of the good to very good, but is perhaps a bit stressful for players with HcpI 27 and higher, because the often hanging lanes have to be taken into account when placing the balls. Balls quickly disappear in the thicket of the adjacent bushes. We always do without carts, even in the hilly landscape, and want to fully enjoy the course and nature. You can enjoy that wonderfully in Espiche. The Twilight tariff is fair, but the clubhouse is closed when you return.

Tricky place in a great location
Reviewed April 11, 2022
You have to look twice where you're playing, otherwise the gradient can easily surprise you and the ball will end up somewhere else. In the rough it becomes difficult to even find the ball. Beautiful place in a great location with a very nice and modern clubhouse. Value for money is great.

Thanks, not again
Reviewed March 19, 2022
With wind force 5, in gusts 7, definitely not an easy place, but I'm used to the wind. The fact that balls that are hit well, no matter how well you take into account the always hanging fairways, often disappear in the thorn hedges that are everywhere, spoils the fun of the game.
The tracks are quite interesting and varied, but it always goes up and down, so that a buggy is useful, but not essential. The condition was between lousy and bearable, and the greens just about acceptable. Calling a green fee of €100 for this (it was cheaper for 2 people with a buggy) is outrageous.
Another downside is the gastronomy in the very nice clubhouse: I find it to be extremely customer-unfriendly to close at 5 p.m. in the season. The menu was average and the food was good, no more, no less. I had no reason for praise here.
With so many wind turbines dotting the landscape, it's easy to imagine there's often plenty of wind here, so we won't be seeing this club anytime soon. There are many, many better options in the Lagos area.

Dear Kath, Thank you very much for the feedback about Espiche Golf.
Our golf course is located in a very sensitive region, where there are water shortages and the usage of water has to be done in a very careful manner. We have bermuda grass in fairways and paspalum grass in the greens and therefore in the summer we can manage to have a green golf course. On the other hand in the winter season and sometimes in Spring, golf course tends to get a bit more brown, which is not necessarly bad but it's the normal life cycle of the grass.
We have a nice document explaining all our project around the environmental sustainability and approach which I would be glad to share with you.
Any question you have, please let me know.
Thank you and have a nice week!

Played here in late July. Conditions in spite of very dry weather good with a cheap green fee. Vacation golf of the relaxed kind. I would take a cart again at any time. Of course, the fairways are partly brown and the greens are rather slow. But that can be the case in summer. Club house very nice and all staff are courteous and helpful.

We played the course in September 2019. Fairways and especially the greens were in top condition. Greens hard, consistent and not too fast. The course meanders through the small hills around the super modern (and award winning) clubhouse. The complex is completely embedded in the natural landscape with olive trees, shrubs, etc. A successful golf trip.

Reviewed April 3, 2019
Have played this great place today at about 8 winds, a real challenge, because it is eh precise game required to not lose the ball on the right or left in the thorn bushes. But the great layout, the varied fairways, the super located CLUB HOUSE and great service complete the package. Only the greens left something to be desired and many bunkers "under repair" were not playable. Nevertheless definitely recommended

We played the course in December for three consecutive days and were thrilled. The course is beautifully situated and embedded in the natural hilly landscape. The holes are varied and challenging but really fun. The condition of the fairways, greens, bunkers and tees: 1A. The organization was perfect and the staff very friendly and competent.

Very special place! Modern, quiet, but ball-swallower
Reviewed July 16, 2018
We played the course for the second time. He is really beautiful. Great views and again and again you can see the very modern and pretty clubhouse of many holes.
The quality of the fairways was top even in midsummer. Very unusual, however, are the extremely slow greens, which are also relatively restless. This is the only reason why we do not want to forgive the fifth star.
The fairways do not offer much left and right spouts, but they are almost always limited by dense thorn hedges, which can lead to high ball losses.
The staff is really super friendly and you will find after the round a great clubhouse with modern sanitary facilities and a great terrace. Real pleasure...
It was a shame that the club did not sell any logo balls at the moment, which actually disappointed us a bit. Would have liked to take him as a reminder to Germany.
Conclusion, we would play this place again at any time...

Exceptional and impressive
Reviewed May 13, 2018
An extraordinary round of golf in a special place. The layout is fantastic, the condition very good and the greens adventurous and fast. Accuracy of the punches is important, so rather an iron than a full wood, even if there is a blow more, but you can still despair if the ball rolls under the thorn bushes. If one does not find his ball, one sometimes finds two strangers.
It was fun to walk the course and the clubhouse has good food and friendly service. Happy again.

Natural place on the West Algarve
Reviewed April 1, 2018
The Espiche Lagos Golf Club is located in completely unspoiled nature in the hinterland of the Algarve. The planned development is still recognizable on the way to the golf course, but is probably stifled in the real estate bubble!
Which brings the advantage that Espiche is probably one of the few completely undeveloped places in the Algarve. The smooth, lovely fairways meander through olive groves, pines and cork oaks and are almost picturesque in the landscape. The fairways are typical for new places in the south with lean grass seeped, so Espiche plays like a left-olum! You should be careful as a longdriver, oh well hit drives can roll off the fairway in the botany!
Nevertheless, Espiche has a very high fun and play factor! Book sundowner and play for a great money a top spot which offers a great kitchen in the brand new designer clubhouse!
Espiche - Lagos only surprised me positively ... !!!

In this place nothing is flat! The balls run right or left, depending on the terrain. The greens are rather below average. The many blind holes may not be a problem for beginners. For us it was very inconvenient to constantly go forward to see after Vorflight or the feathered position. The clubhouse was much appreciated. A repetition is not necessary; we can have a say yes now.

The place was much appreciated. We could buy a great package (green fee and cart) to noon. Due to the large crowds (delay) we were diverted on 10 Tea and could quickly 16 holes play without aground.

Reviewed September 19, 2016
Much has already been said, so very briefly:
- Great clubhouse
- Very friendly and service minded staff
- Beautiful grounds
- For me one of the best care conditions of the Algarve
- Interesting, varied layout
- Partly narrow fairways
- Excellently maintained but very fast greens
- Some blind haircuts
- Warped balls partly in directly on the fairway adjacent bushes very hard to not at all discoverable (= high turnovers possible)
- Strong winds from the mountains are not rare (lt staff especially in the afternoon.), Which requires more higher precision (but can at higher Hcp also quickly lead to frustration, wg of turnovers.)
- Overall a great overall experience that you should try despite the edge position in the Algarve necessarily!

Just to have a say to.
The service, the prices, the clubhouse and especially the restaurant are very good. The place is also great. Only the fairways are hard and have grooves. Thus, the ball bounces anywhere, rare to see where.
There are no rough, but only bushes.
At the beginning I had humility, but if you can not find the ball even with very good beats, you can curse before.
Nevertheless, I would play again.

Can not understand all the good reviews for this place. We played this course in early March. The fairway was hard as concrete, so that you hardly came with the bat at the ball. How might the state be until the summer?? What is more, that the greens can not see because of the many hills. Even if time has a good punch, the ball lands because of the hard ground most of any bush. A place that you do not have to play again, because there are much better around!!

Called me a forward playing Brite laughingly. My answer: "I lost 12 balls ..."
Well, I was not in the form on this day. But the place is really not fair. Left and right of the fairways is almost always considered out of bonus because inextricable limits the railways. There are many slopes, hills, lateral slope - so many challenges that exist to deal with. Also walls and trees on the fairway.
Espiche is a very beautiful place - but hard to play and really not fair.
An example: My good discount to the 18 ended up centrally on a hilltop on the fairway and rolled without which one could see it on good 80m. The ball then was between a bunker and a water hazard just next to the "bush-out". Pure luck. That often happens that the balls in unfavorable locations roles...
The greens are undulating fast and be strong. This is really fun.
The clubhouse is Tip Top. Super Service and apparently good food.
All in all a good investment. Except for the playability - for a deduction of points. Otherwise 4.5 star.
