Old Course Vilamoura is shaking things up in golf in Portugal with its new partnership with Trackman, the undisputed king of ball tracking.
In a move that’s sure to have golfers talking, it’s now the only spot in the Algarve where you can experience Trackman’s high-tech wizardry—truly a game-changer on the greens.
In an initiative facilitated by DETAILS – Hospitality, Sports, Leisure, the management company behind Arrow Global’s premier assets in Portugal, Trackman’s cutting-edge technology will soon be at the heart of driving ranges, practice areas, coaching sessions, club fittings, and simulator golf.
Not only will the recently revamped Old Course Vilamoura benefit from these enhancements, but the highly anticipated Els Club Vilamoura—set to debut this summer—will also join the ranks of this innovative venture.
Moreover, both courses are set to be integrated into Trackman’s Virtual Golf Platform.
This means that whether you’re indoors or enjoying a session on the driving range, you’ll have the chance to experience a virtual round of Vilamoura Golf using some of the most advanced virtual graphics available today.
It’s an invitation for golf enthusiasts around the world to connect with the magic of this historic venue, all while enjoying an elevated on-site practice and gameplay experience.
Golfers will also appreciate that the Old Course boasts the largest driving range in Portugal, with 20 spots designed to accommodate swings in all weather conditions.
The precision and reliability of the technology ensure that every drive is measured accurately, promising a world-class experience regardless of whether the day is bright or overcast.
“Arrow Global and DETAILS are both visionaries in the industry, and we are delighted to be working with them on the rebirth and relaunch of the Vilamoura golf courses,” said Steven Carmichael, Director of Strategic Alliances for Trackman.
“The Old Course in Vilamoura has always been highly regarded by golfers around the world. Trackman is honoured to contribute to their continued presence at the forefront of global golf.
We look forward to seeing how this partnership, alongside the wider innovations and developments in Vilamoura, enhances the golfing experience for all.”
Nuno Sepulveda, Co-CEO of DETAILS, added: “At DETAILS, we are committed to pushing boundaries and ensuring our golf destinations remain at the cutting edge of the sport.
Partnering with Trackman enables us to offer players a world-class experience, whether they are honing their skills on the range or playing a virtual round at one of our iconic courses. This is an exciting chapter for golf in Vilamoura.”
The technological leap comes on the heels of a significant refresh at Old Course Vilamoura in late 2024, which introduced a sophisticated new brand, a state-of-the-art clubhouse blending classic charm with contemporary luxury, and comprehensive on-course renovations.
These upgrades, part of a long-term sustainability strategy, include innovative sprinkler systems, water-resistant grass varieties to reduce water consumption, Hydropresser stations to cut down on energy usage, and the adoption of electric machinery—all reinforcing its status as one of Europe’s most environmentally friendly courses.
By seamlessly merging Trackman’s pioneering technology with enhanced hospitality and robust sustainability measures, Old Course Vilamoura is setting a new benchmark for golf in the Algarve—delivering an experience that’s as refined as it is forward-thinking.
