Nuno Sepúlveda, co-CEO of DETAILS, the management platform which oversees all Vilamoura’s golfing assets, said: “The renovations of the Old Course align with the long-term vision of enhancing quality, sophistication, and an effortless guest experience. These improvements specifically target maintaining high standards in golfing facilities and service and reinforcing Vilamoura’s image as a premier golf destination.
“The renovations are meticulously planned to respect its classic design and rich heritage, while still introducing improvements that enhance the overall golfing experience. By carefully balancing the old with the new, the renovation ensures that the course remains a cherished destination for golfers.”
Greens and fairways will all receive careful maintenance, bunkers will be sharpened with new sand, lips and slopes, and tee boxes will have Bermuda grass planted, their roots sanitized, levelled, and some will be occasionally reoriented, making the tees environmentally sustainable and of premium quality.
The overall appearance of the course will have more definition between the grassed play areas and the iconic landscape of pine trees. This will have a massive impact on both the appearance and quality, with the fairways receiving more sunlight.
Off the course and away from the clubhouse, there will be requalification to the driving range and additions of the most modern technology, enabling various training sessions and experiences, catering for all golfers.
