Advisable
Reviewed January 12, 2024
Played the course on January 11,2024. Since the attached hotel was closed, it was very quiet on the pitch, which increased the enthusiasm for the game. The course was in good condition, the fairways were almost perfect, with no brown spots. The fast greens weren't all great, but overall they were good to play on. The course has a very scenic location and some holes (hole 5) offer spectacular tee shots. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is, however, one drawback: the course does not have a driving range. Nevertheless: recommended course.

Wanted to play the course on 3/24/2023.
Available T-Times on the Internet: Tomorrow 7:24 or noon at 14:24 for €114 So we asked our hotel near Lagos if we could get any latestart or sundown discount with the late start time as the 18th Hole can hardly be finished with the expected 5 hours of play.
Answer: no discount, green fee even costs € 134 Absolute cheek!
Be sure to update the overview of prices with Albrecht.

Good place
Reviewed November 23, 2022
We played a pleasant round today in nice weather, the place was full of 4balls, we were two in the middle, it was unfortunately very slow, but still ok. The course is in very good condition, the clubhouse (restaurant) is small but clean, the service is quick and friendly, what more could you want.

Good place
Reviewed October 14, 2022
In addition to the two Pestans, I know Gramacho and Pinta and Silves is an excellent addition to this group.
The condition of the place was excellent. I also really liked the course design. All in all, I can definitely recommend the place. The only thing I missed was that there is no driving range.
October is high season now. The green fee of 120 euros and the cart fee of 50 euros are borderline. At least the green fee can be reduced by 50% with appropriate golf voucher books/cards.

Not bad but overpriced
Reviewed March 31, 2022
Quite an interesting facility with varied holes. Here you have to consider whether length really makes sense, especially since 7 wind forces made the game difficult.
There are some height differences, but the space can be mastered with an e-trolley. €45 for a bare golf cart without GPS, water or similar is simply exorbitant, but that fits in with Pestana's strategy: squeeze as much money as possible from the guests.
A green fee of €89 is clearly exaggerated given the very average maintenance condition. The greens were fine, rather medium fast.
As part of an arrangement, a place that I would play again, not for a full green fee.

No recommendation
Reviewed December 21, 2021
We played the course on December 1st and 6th, 2021.
Maintenance condition ok.
Unfortunately, the reception was not in accordance with the GreenFee.
The place was full, the starter was so unfriendly and arrogant, NO ONE needs that!
The course has some nice views, but loses its relevance because there are too many short holes par 4 / par 3 in the game.
Nice that there are other places nearby that have more to offer, even friendly staff.

New clubhouse also improves the game
Reviewed December 7, 2020
How can that be? The new 1 (previously the 2) is a short par 4 and brings a good score (?!) At the beginning. Then there are very varied railways with a wonderful view and sometimes something normal. But always sporty. A buggy is recommended for older students.
The cork factory next to lane 2 stinks from the boiling of the cork bark, but it is definitely not dangerous.
The last hole is the former 1 - a short par 4 with a nasty green. Putt from above is almost impossible! When that is done, the new clubhouse with the wonderful terrace awaits.
The service staff doesn't always have good days, but the view from the terrace compensates for that a little.

Slightly unbalanced, but it was fun
Reviewed September 19, 2020
We (HCP 14 and 22) played Silves in mid-September 2020. Around € 150 green fee for 2 people with buggy as a summer special, after 2 p.m. the offer was a sensational € 29 green fee / person. Is of course super cheap, but it can also be due to Corona. Pestana Silves is again a somewhat soulless facility in the middle of nowhere, but this is about the game of golf.
The length of the fairways varies greatly, from 260 meters par 4 to 570 meters par 5, as mentioned above, a bit unbalanced. All in all, things are more straight forward with few challenges. All in all a very nice and well-maintained course, but we liked Gramcho better. I would therefore give Silves a 3.75 and Gramacho 4.5, both places that you can play.

Very nice place. Course in very good condition green fairways and fast track-true greens. The new clubhouse should be ready by next year. Thus, today's Bahn 1 is the 18th The place has changed in the last few years positive.

Super care condition
Reviewed March 11, 2019
We played the five Pestana courses in the Algarve at the beginning of March 2019. Silves liked it best. Silves is in the best care condition of all places. Rich green fairways with hardly worn divots. Generous, partly spectacular tracks with a lot of scenic panorama. It was really fun to play here. Only the clubhouse is a bit Spartan.

Well to find better
Reviewed June 3, 2018
We played the course 7 years ago and now again. Apparently, a new golf resort is being built around the front of the course, which explains the cumbersome arrival of train two. Clubhouse suboptimal, service friendly but overstrained, toilets rustic. However, we still played this course twice this year because it is challenging, long tracks, even long par 3 but neat condition. We enjoyed it and we made enough progress. Gladly again!

Not more stars
Reviewed March 27, 2017
03/22/2017: Unfortunately I can not write a lot of positives to it.
The railways as such generally well laid out and varied - hence 3 stars.
Uphill downhill.
Very difficult, often narrow lanes and off the fairway, the ball is gone, already partially in the first section, which is not always available. Very long distances from hole to hole, Cart strongly recommended.
Located next to the tracks usually extremely unkempt, I think is not rebuilt that everywhere.
Visually very little appealing.
Restaurant on self-service basis. Well.
For me, the worst of the Pestana courses.
I would not recommend

Cozy
Reviewed November 18, 2016
One of the good places Pestana. A lot of space and some water hazards. The wide fairways allow einges lose to slice and hook without the ball. The greens are well defended, almost all of which are slightly raised. This place is also easily walkable (hardly noticeable gradients).

Golf course pestana Silves, Algarve
Reviewed March 25, 2016
I just played the space now and can only connect to one of the previous speakers. I say to my wife, and write 5 hours for 14 holes needed and then we gave up and went without further play.
Maybe it's the short course but we had the impression that many players had at least before us not a handicap under 36 and quite despite Cart very slow... had a marshal we have not seen... also plays certainly the cheap Price a role.

It is a beautiful well-kept place. Something disturbed has close cork-processing factory, providing us with odors einnebelte (lt. Display panel not harmful).

Much patience is required
Reviewed November 30, 2015
Average place slightly hilly hinterland of the Algarve. Needed inexplicably for 9 holes good 3 hours. Have then canceled and have many waiting Flights overhauled before us without playing.
Our notice and demand why it is so sluggish progress was accepted, without notice. A Marshall could not be seen.

Absolute recommendation in this area!

Average Golf Course
Reviewed March 3, 2013
Just off the coast is the touristic Algarve Pestana Silves. The course and the greens themselves are in good condition, but the environment is a little off the fairways maintained. The clubhouse and restaurant is rather small and not very attractive. The buggy on Pestana unit price of 40 euros was a real Rumpelkiste with tattered Sitzpölstern. For the same price you get at Vila Sol, Vilamoura, a new device with GPS. We recommend a subsequent visit to the nearby former royal town of Silves with its castle, church and steep streets with tiny houses.

The place is hard to find, as not signposted. The place was to play well. Were unlucky-in front and a hand-over tournament 5h. Small modest clubhouse. Nice people at the reception. Summer Special 2 pax with buggy € 95 is ok! Discounts to some tall grass. Otherwise all good

Although this court lacks the sonorous name of a famous golf architects, but this was designed by golfers understand some of it.
The beauty here is something for all Divisions, and who really kicks into the rough is to blame. The price / performance ratio is right, I would like to see more such places.

Surprising holes with class
Reviewed September 8, 2010
The place is conveniently located at the green fee and worth every €. Some holes are really top notch. The last two holes to take the whole round some of the great experience. Here, the builder of the place were probably out of ideas.
