Vale do Lobo initially developed quite slowly. The course combines the former Yellow 9 hole course designed by Sir Henry Cotton, and nine new holes adapted by Rocky Roquemore from Cotton´s original plan.

The course is set amongst rolling pine covered terrain and incorporates the famous par 3 7th which is now the 16th.

Roquemore`s contribution is the par 3 9th over a lake to a stunning semi-island green.

Subtle changes have been made to the holes on the former Yellow nine.
