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.
We just came back from a wonderful vacation in Portugal. We stayed at Villa Jasmin in the Aroeira Golf resort (rented through Allure-villas). The complex is nice with lovely gardens and houses, a small but good supermarket with good meat, fresh fruit, a good wine store and a fresh fish store on the grounds.
Besides playing golf, for a fee you can use the swimming pool (large and nice) or rent a tennis court.
The place is close enough to Lisbon and Sintra, allowing you wonderful day trips. The beaches nearby, especially Praia do Rei are gorgeous. The water is cold, but the waves are fantastic so you simply can not resist getting into water and playing till you're frozen :-)
Good restaurants nearby (for great fis and fast service I recommend the Retiro do Pescador ( 5min drive). A car and a GPS are a must to get around.
The downs of the complex are the empty lots (not too many though) and the ones on contruction. The empty lots are not taken care of (weeds, dried vegetation) and the ones in construction can be noisy, so make sure your rental is not next to an empty lot or a construction site.

4 over 50's on Golf trip to Portugal - so where to go ?? Tried The Algarve, so this time Lisbon area and we picked Aroeira as we got a great deal . Apartment for 5 nights and 4 rounds [2 at each course] for under ÂŁ200 each - yes all in !!!! Amazing as some guys turned up at Aroeira No:1 when we were checking in and were happy to pay 90 Euros each to play 1 round !!! The courses are well wooded and a good challenge , although the facilities are a bit rudimentary at No:2 , the staff were very helpfull [especially when our golf buggys failed to appear] and the weather was magnificent in early May. The courses were virtually empty - we never waited once in 4 rounds of golf - quite amazing . Finally the cost of food and booze was silly cheap at supermarkets and fantastic value at Restaurant/Bar in the vicinity. You will need to hire a car to get around and this enables you to drive down to the magnificent beach to sample more local food and Portugese drinks. We've been to quite a few countries playing golf and this was the best value trip ever - do your homework before booking and you can get some unbelievable deals.

The two golf courses are of high quality. The two courses are set in the middle of a pine forest. Make sure you hit your ball straight as most holes are tree lined and it is difficult to find the ball when it goes off line. The courses are relatively long (6700 and 7100 yds approx from the back tees) but the ball does fly a long way in the dry conditions.
Aroeira 1 was in perfect condition with beautiful fairways and a few very nice holes. Hole 8 (200yds) requires a well struck long iron to get to the 2 tier green protected by a bunker short right. The 17th hole is also very nice as it is a short dog leg left down the hill with a possibility to go for the green of the tee for big hitters. Other nice holes include the par fives, and the 11th hole. Aroeira 2 is also a nice course but was in poorer condition as it was shut the month of august for maintenance. The holes are arguably more scenic with more water features. Most holes are nice and all have distinctive features with many undulations. The best hole would be the last which is a 550yd par five down the hill from the tee that offers scenic views. The facilities (restaurant, shops, swimming pool) are nice with very friendly staff, with a particularly nice restaurant next to the main gate. Cons: Access to the facilities is difficult without a car, and we made the mistake not hiring one. The Aroieira 1 course was 4km away from our villa and the 2 course 1.5km, making the walks in the morning to the courses rather unpleasant. Buggy hire is also limited on course 2 and need advance bookings. There is no clubhouse on the second course. The driving range is no course 2 but seems to be quite limited.
If your aim is exclusively to play golf this is a great place to stay. DO rent a car.

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.

We played Aroeira Challenge Course on 25th September 2023. We were extremely disappointed with the condition of this course. The greens, and the course as a whole, were in horrendous condition. Bare patches and weeds everywhere . There was no running water on the day we played and toilets were not working. Certainly not worth the 89 euros per person green fee. Having complained to the course, no response has been received. Avoid this course.

The Aroeira golf sea and Spa hotel is small but perfect hotel. A heated pool and excellent food. The waiters are typical Portuguese. Not too fast but this is exactly what so many expect from Portugal. Ideal for children. And there are small children. Golfing is very nice. Unfortunately one of the courses was in maintenance shutdown but the other one was in perfect shape. The courses are narrow and it requires precise playing. but definitely a good place for having fun and playing golf.

We love sun, beach and golf. After saying this, my husband and I decided to try Portugal for the first time this May, where the sun shines in a very special way. Such a great weather. We are staying right now at the Villas in Aroeira Golf Resort, close to Lisbon. The apartment is comfy and picturesque, with a kitchenette. There are a supermarket and restaurants within walking distance inside the resort. Here, there are 2 beautiful golf courses, nested between huge pine trees and several lakes. Wildlife is everywhere. Lots of ducks and other gorgeous aquatic birds. Along the fairways there are amazing houses, some with spectacular architecture. It is very pleasant to play golf here, with such scenery. Moreover, the beach nearby, called Fonte da Telha, is more than 10 miles long, with stunning views from the top of the cliff. We will come back surely.

We went for apartments self catering, which were very spacious two double bedrooms, kitchen with a lounge and fireplace (filled up every day with wood), WC and separate bathroom (a bit old style). Two golf courses on site, better to have rented car as it's quiker to get around. Very friendly staff and both courses were in great conditions, many people but not as much as on Tenerife or Fuertaventura. All shops, grocery, restaurant on site, with great service, so no problems with supplies whatsoever. We had a villa at 2nd tee, which was great to play at night as well. 24 km from Lisboa airport, 30 minutes by car. Reccomend for groups, as there are local restaurants at the beach (5 minutes by car) and great seafood at Carlos (expensive but the shrimps were the biggest I've ever seen). The short side was availability of the site management, as almost only by phone, the service desk opening hours short and we never met these guys (but the club staff always helping out with new timber for fireplace and cleaning the place). Great venue, however the practice/driving range just average.

Just got back from a 5 day break with 7 golfers, wow!! We had our own 12 berth villa (with pool) all booked with Alexandra Gonçalves who couldn't do enough to help us.We played 2 days on Aroeira 1 and 3 days on Aroeira 2, we found both coarses stunning (similar to Woburn) Aroeira 2 was slightly bogey but it had been raining for the last 7 days, the fairways on both coarses were like carpets as were the greens, my personal preference was Aroeira 1 only because I thought it was slightly more challenging although out of our group the preference on the 2 coarses was split. We found the restaurant on site very good, the supermarket had everything that we needed, what I would say is that if you do stay on site you will defiantly need a car to get about, All I could say to finish is that Aroeira was outstanding value for money and well worth a visit....
