-
Monte Rei
The eastern Algarve's premier course, Monte Rei is as visually stunning as it is enjoyable. Expect flawless greens, huge bunkers, and picturesque views from every tee. The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course is one of Europe's very best, and its 7,182 yards will test anyone.
-
Quinta do Lago South
Both Quinta do Lago courses are exceptional, but South probably just wins out. Winner of the 2019 World Golf Award for Portugal's best course, it regularly hosts European Tour events and offers a challenge for experienced players.
-
San Lorenzo
Exclusive and meticulously maintained San Lorenzo is possibly the Algarve's best-kept secret. Everyone who plays here raves about the greens, the views of the Amarante Formosa Park, and the unrivalled hospitality offered by the clubhouse.
-
Amendoeira
A Nick Faldo creation, this 7,215-yard course is a championship venue but designed for amateurs. Inspired by English heathland courses, it uses Portugal's natural foliage to great effect, while the greens could hardly be in better condition.
-
Quinta de Cima
Another skilled fusion of the Algarve's natural beauty with golfing design, Quinta de Cima offers broad fairways that less accurate drivers will appreciate, but it's no pushover. Fine views and fine food at the terrace restaurant round off a superb golfing experience.
