Jones Sr ., who made a number of significant refinements in 1985 .
Traversing undulating parkland , many fairways are lined by pine trees . However , perhaps an even more significant challenge is presented by the Umbrella and Atlantic pines which present themselves on fairways and at times on the approach into greens . Length has recently been added on a number of holes , which ensure the test originally envisioned by Pennink is maintained . At a substantial 6,353 metres from the white tee markers , and with a par of 72 , Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course is certainly no pushover , although golfers will be pleased to learn that the ponds and stream which come into play on five holes should not , for the most part , present a serious threat .
One of the most remarked upon features of Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course , in Vilamoura , is the stunning panorama provided from the clubhouse , which extends over the excellent driving range and practice facilities and beyond . Completely renovated at the turn of the millennium , its veranda offers the perfect setting for post-round relaxation .
Its authorship and its features have made it into a must see in any Algarve golf tour . Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course is an unforgettable part of the Vilamoura Golf Courses experience .
DOM PEDRO LAGUNA Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course in Vilamoura has earned a reputation as being a somewhat unique offering within the Vilamoura golf portfolio . While its many water hazards and few trees set it apart , it truly finds its individuality in the number of holes which convey characteristics of a traditional links layout . American golf course architect Joseph Lee was given the responsibility for setting out the Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course in Vilamoura over low-lying coastal terrain , and in this setting was able to establish 18 holes which offer a wide variety of playing conditions .
The course has been continually improved since the first ball was struck in 1990 , although it retains all of the appeal of a modern test of golf , through which the strategic positioning of bunkers and a number of water obstacles demand accuracy of play . Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course shares a well-proportioned and welcoming clubhouse with the neighbouring Millennium Golf Course .
For anyone looking for family golf offers in Vilamoura , the Dom Pedro Laguna is an interesting choice , with its nearby Dom Pedro Laguna Club in Vilamoura and beautiful landscapes .
