The Victoria Clube de Golfe will be the fifth at Vilamoura and the most exclusive one at the resort, making it ideal to became the Algarve's and Portugal's major venue for top international tournaments. 

The previous owners invested 18 million euros in Oceânico’s Victoria Golf Club, designed by Arnold Palmer, one of the greatest legends of the sport. This was the most ambitious golf project in Portugal, and was aimed at being one of the best golf complexes in the whole of Europe. Palmer, whose design company has planned some 500 layouts worldwide, compiled the Victoria course project, and Southern Golf, Europe's largest golf course builder, was awarded the construction contract.

Oceânico’s Victoria Golf Course is an 18â€"hole, par 72 championship layout, measuring 6.560 meters (7,105 yards) from the back tees. Several manâ €"made lakes provide hazards for the players and also serve as water reservoirs for irrigation.

Pro Tip

The opening shot of the round is very generous. The fairway is slightly downhill and very wide, it is guarded by bunkers on both sides. All players should favour the right side if they want a comfortable shot to the green. The left trap protecting the green is very demanding so try to play safe when the pin is on the left side.
