Vale
do Lobo is home to two challenging and outstanding golf
courses The Royal and the Ocean. Based on original
concepts by the legendary Sir Henry Cotton and re-developed
by the respected American golf architect Rocky Roquemore,
the Vale do Lobo courses have twice been host to the
Portuguese Open. 
The
Royal Golf Course has rolling fairways set amidst pine trees
and beautiful lakes surrounded by wild flowers. Its features
include the almost island green of the 9th and the famous
16th, with cliff-top carryover one of the most celebrated
golfing images in the world, which has become the veritable
symbol of golf in the Algarve.
The
Ocean Golf Course features undulating fairways which run alongside
nature reserve, before leading gently down to the shores of the
Atlantic. Its emblematic holes are two challenging and spectacular
Par 4s, the 11th and the 14th which treat golfers to some of the
most spectacular views in the Algarve - and the Par 3 15th, which
runs alongside the beach.
The
Vale do Lobo Tennis Academy has 14 courts, of which ten are
all-weather and four synthetic, as well as a mini-tennis and paddle
tennis court. One of the largest tennis facilities in Portugal, it
attracts national and international tennis fixtures, including an
annual ATP Seniors Tour competition, the Vale do Lobo Grand
Champions Caixa Geral de Depσsitos, and the Portuguese Ladies΄ Open.
A gym, swimming pool, pro shop and two restaurants overlooking the
courts complete the facilities.
