The Els Club Vilamoura officially opened in July 2025 as the first private golf club in the Algarve and the first Els Club in Europe. It offers an exclusive 18-hole championship course — a complete redesign of the former Victoria Course — reflecting Ernie Els’ vision of strategic, world-class golf in harmony with the natural landscape.
Personalised service, quality and exclusivity define the experience, both on and off the course, complemented by a clubhouse featuring the 261 Bar & Restaurant and dedicated members-only facilities.
Committed to excellence, the club will host the inaugural Portugal Invitational, a Champions Tour event, from 2026 for five consecutive years, further establishing its position among Europe’s premier golf destinations.
