Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course

Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course was Arnold Palmer's Vilamoura championship layout and a long-time Portugal Masters host. The site is now The Els Club Vilamoura - use that page for current course details and access rules.

Our verdict

Historical name only - for today's round, read The Els Club Vilamoura and confirm private-club access before you travel.

Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course was the Arnold Palmer championship layout beside the Victoria hotel in Vilamoura – open views, stadium holes, and years as host of the Portugal Masters. That public Dom Pedro chapter is over.

The same land is now The Els Club Vilamoura, redesigned by Ernie Els as a private members club. Use that page for the current par-72 card, yardages, facilities, and the honest access warning (membership and limited guest routes, not a walk-up resort tee sheet).

If you still see “Victoria” on an old itinerary or hotel package, treat it as a pointer to The Els Club and confirm tee-time rules in writing before you fly.

Nearby public options while you sort access: Vilamoura Old Course, Millennium, Laguna, and Pinhal. Wider context: Golf in the Algarve.
