Overview: Located near the village of Carvoeiro, Vale de Milho is a high-quality 9-hole par-3 course designed by Dave Thomas. Often played twice to complete an 18-hole round, the layout was designed as a "scaled-down" version of a full championship course, featuring curved greens, strategically placed bunkers, and significant water hazards. It is a perfect destination for families, beginners, and low-handicappers looking to sharpen their short game in a lush, well-maintained environment overlooking the Atlantic.
Did You Know? Despite its short length, the course is famously technical; hole number 2 features a picturesque waterfall and lake that demand a precise carry, while the 4th hole provides a classic elevated tee shot to a lower green. It remains one of the most popular short courses in Southern Portugal, offering a quick but legitimate test of golf that fits perfectly into a relaxed Algarve holiday schedule.
