Set in a magnificent pinewood, with a view of the course, Villas Aroeira offers a pleasant stay, contact with nature and easy access to the golf courses. In the summer the fantastic tropical swimming pool delights everyone. Two 18-hole courses, Aroeira I and II, a friendly Clubhouse with restaurant, snack-bar, reception, golf shop and golf school, cafeteria, tropical swimming pool with bar and 4 tennis courts.
Aroeira has two courses 1 and 2 and I am writing this review to make players aware that if offered Aroeira 1 take my advice and refuse, it’s simply in very poor condition. We have played the courses many times but this was by far the worse condition we had played it in if the management had informed us how bad it was we would not have played. Many of the greens had large areas of GUR all of the greens had sand on them in fact there was more sand on the greens than the bunkers which were brick hard and unplayable. Aroeira 1 by contrast was in good condition and clearly had been maintained so was enjoyable to play

Very bad service for a 4 star hotel. The staff is not friendly at all, it’s too much when you ask for their help apparently. For 200€ a night we expect a friendly service. Also no privacy on our terras, everybody at the pool can look right into our room. Would not recommend if you like friendly staff and some privacy.

South of Lisbon, 2 18 holes courses in the pine trees... water hasards, long drives... you've got it all! Such a nice and relaxed atmosphere in and outside the golf course; come play and relax in a restaurant at the beach nearby!

We played Aroeira Golf Course number 2 in late September. Whilst the course itself was a nice layout the whole experience was ruined by poor facilities. On arrival at the course there was no food (not even snacks) and limited drink. The 'clubhouse' is really just a large wooden shed for buggy/trolley storage, with a little caddy master office for checking in. The staff in this office were very polite and tried to be helpful. With no food at this starting place we at least expected a buggy bar to be going round the course but there was none, no halfway hut with any food either. We arrived at the course at 11am, teeing off at noon and so this effectively meant going the whole day without food. What we found most unforgivable was the lack of a buggy bar as this is an easy service to provide, and would make money for the resort. 'Lazy management' was how we summed it up.…

Booked Aroeira 1 in Jan turned up to play last week to be told they had an event on and we had been bumped to Aroeira 2 No appology nothing course was excellent but the clubhouse!!!!!!! was just a tin shack with no refreshments no showers only a caddy shack and a single loo which was disgusting. The charge to play was the same yet the facilities were truly awful Again though the golf course was ok just not what we had booked and paid for.

With two courses Aroeira is a great place to stay and play, both courses are first class and there is a driving range and electric buggy hire. The three bedroom flat had everything in it, home from home. These are Looonnng course so make sure your driving game is spot on. The on site shopping has a great supermarket and a very nice restaurant, but the only bar seems to close early each evening so make sure you stock up ur fridge, you can still drink at the restaurant,.

We returned for the 10th year running to the resort of Aroeira Golf and I sadly have to say that the courses are now starting to decline. Little patches here and there on the fairways that have been missed by the mower and generally tatty around all the edges. They may sound like small things but all put together probably made it the worst visit yet, sadly. The first 4-5 years we had great value for money but not now, beer prices now more expensive than the UK and food also up considerably. Still an enjoyable 5 nights, just not great.

We booked through Yourgolftravel, party of 12. The golf courses are superb. Challenging holes, great fairways, testing greens (tee boxes hit and miss) and beautiful surroundings. Course 1 is next to the club house and the quieter of the 2 courses on site. Nice clubhouse and the food and beer is relatively cheap in comparison to other clubs. Course 2 is the tougher course with some very narrow fairways and plenty of water about. This course runs parallel with the majority of accommodation blocks so there's plenty of local people walking around exercising dogs. Two dogs actually appeared next to me in a bunker at one point! Another dog ran off with a partners ball on the fairway - very funny !!! Don't let this put you off though, it's a beautiful course. There is also no club house at this course, you can water, beer, soft drinks to take around with you but nowhere really to relax after the round. BEWARE - when we checked in we were quickly informed that we had to hire cars so we could transfer ourselves between the clubhouse, courses and apartment blocks. The club does not operate internal transfers and due to the vast size of the resort you have no choice other than to sort your own transport out. If you are happy driving yourself around then no problem. We've had many trips abroad to similar resorts and it's the first time no internal transfers were available. It just feel like they are not set up for larger society groups like other course are. Overall, despite the transfer issues, a very enjoyable trip with some cracking golf. Staff very friendly and helpful, food & drink prices very reasonable and a small fishing village nearby with lovely fish restaurants.…

We booked this resort through a golf travel company. When you arrive, it is a large resort complex with three or four entrances. Head for Aroeira 1 which is where you check in, at the clubhouse. They have a bar, restaurant, golf Course and do all the admin for the properties. From here you get a key and get your apartment. Most of them Overlook the Aroeira 2 golf course. Both courses are excellent condition. At the 2 course is just a starter and small range and trolley hire. You book your game at 1 course which is about 5 minute drive away. The apartments are of good size and ours had two bedrooms one bathroom and kitchen and lounge. Nearby was a restaurant, golf shop, well stocked small Supermarket and some Other shops. Nice selection. The actual courses are a good length, quite tight and a good test for anyone. We also had access to ribogolfe (which we didn’t go to) and Quinta do Peru which was awesome. Aroeira is a Lovely resort and we will return. I think for us what made it was the way the staff want to help and make things easy. A small thing to remember, if you are unlimited golf, you cannot book the afternoon round until you have finished the morning round. Enjoy …

Back on Aroeira . last time was in 2009! The shape of the courses are a bit better now, especially the greens - but also the bunkers :-) Aroeira 2 is still the best (layout), but nr 1 ist also nice. The fact is: you got damn much golf for the Money on Aroeira ! We played two rounds every day :-)
