Dom Pedro (Laguna)
Designed by the late American architect Joseph Lee in 1990, the Dom Pedro Laguna course was formerly known as the 27-hole Vilamoura III layout. Nine holes went over to create the Millennium course and so the Laguna course now stands on its own two feet as a pure 18-hole golf course.
The Laguna course is laid out over flat, low-lying ground and this well bunkered layout with a strong links-like feel is very different in style to the other Vilamoura courses. With plenty of lateral water and few trees, this 6,111-metre, exposed course can play tough to get when the wind is up.
The Laguna shares a clubhouse with its half sister the Millennium course, so the two layouts represent a possible but potentially exhausting 36-hole opportunity.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
