Onyria Palmares Beach & Golf Resort is located in the western region of the Algarve, close to Lagos. It occupies an extremely varied piece of land, going from the beach in the south (the only true links in the Algarve), to farmland with mountain views in the north, to natural valleys falling to the Ria de Alvor wetlands in the east.
The original golf course, designed by Frank Pennink, was opened in 1975. The course was showing its age and the problems caused by several owners and relative neglect. Recently, Onyria Golf Resorts bought the property and decided to rebuilt it, with a new 27 hole course, in 3 returning 9’s loops. This job was carried out by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. to a superb result. The architect’s philosophy was to follow the land in order for the golf course to have a minimum impact.

The Vidago Palace golf course is a Cameron & Powell redesign of an original Mackenzie Ross 9, dating back to 1936. Today, the upgraded course meets USGA construction specifications, having been transformed into a standard par 72, retaining the integrity of the original design and faithfully reflecting the aesthetics, playability, spirit and character of the site.
The course is one of dramatic contrasts which are united by a singular respect for the surrounding nature. Pathways and retaining walls use local stone and centuriesold trees have been preserved. The first holes are played in a forested and relatively flat valley floor; the later ones in open expanses with magnificent vistas.
The newly expanded course also includes a golf academy with 340m driving range, chipping area and 2 putting greens.
