Hamberts Course Brief: Vilamoura Old Course vs. The Els Club

Vilamoura Old Course vs. The Els Club: Pure Golf Excelence in Vilamoura

Two very different clubhouse conversations.

The Old Course is timeless Vilamoura golf — pine trees, traditional fairways, familiar faces, and the kind of place where people have been coming back for decades. Relaxed, classic, and full of character.

Then there’s The Els Club. New, polished, ultra-premium, and bringing a completely different feel to golf in the Algarve. Bigger atmosphere, modern private-club energy, and the sort of place that feels impressive before you’ve even hit a shot.

Different styles, different moods, but both now sit firmly among the Algarve’s standout golfing experiences.

So this Hamberts Course Brief takes a closer look at what separates the two: on the course, around the clubhouse, and everywhere in between.
