Course Information.
This conventional Par-72 course opened in the year 2000, although the completely refurbished back nine holes - formerly part of the 27-hole Laguna Course - had been completed in their original configuration a decade before.
Opened in May 2000, the Millennium is more open than it's neighbours in the Old Course and Pinhal but can be tight from the tees on a number of holes. Water comes into play on only 3 of the holes so this should be a chance for the higher handicapper to gain some confidence before tackling some of the big guns.

The presence of 4 different tees on each hole means that every level of golfer can adjust to either increase or reduce the level of difficulty accordingly. The back tees are somewhat predictably called the 'tiger tees' and represent the most severe of challenges the course can offer.
Although still quite a new course the Millennium is hugely popular with visiting golfers and is often played as part of a golf package with the other Oceanico owned Vilamoura courses. The result of the overall project is a resort that rivals the best in Europe.
