Laranjal Course
The Algarve's most charming and picturesque golf course
Laranjal opened in 2009 and was voted Best Golf Course at the 2011 Portuguese Travel Awards.
Originally an orange grove, the par 72 championship course is situated 2 km east of the resort, in the Ludo Valley. Boasting spectacular fairways and well-defined greens, Laranjal is renowned for its five beautiful lakes, umbrella pines, cork-oaks and orange trees.
At 6,480 metres in length, the challenging course demands the highest level of concentration and accuracy. Its distinctive rolling terrain has been expertly designed and manicured to provide a world-class golfing experience.
Featuring five par 5s, eight par 4s and five par 3s, the course is sown with Bermuda grass on the fairways and Penn A4 on the greens, ensuring excellent putting surfaces throughout the year.
North Course
A stunning golf experience in the Algarve
The North Course was totally redesigned in 2014, by renowned architect Beau Welling, in conjunction with former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley. The new layout has been built to the highest specifications, with an investment of €9million.
All the greens, tees, bunkers, irrigation and drainage systems and cart paths have been re-built using innovative technology. Four sets of tees have been introduced on each hole to accommodate players of all levels. Golfers are challenged by a combination of undulating greens, well-positioned bunkers and water hazards.
A low-cut Bermuda grass approach has been introduced around greens to create recovery shot options, therefore encouraging all levels of play. Through the introduction of seasonal rough grass and the planting of specimen trees, the aesthetics and environmental impact of the par-72 course has significantly improved. The renovation has allowed for water recycling, solar energy while the grassy areas will encourage new ecosystems
South Course
Multiple winner of the World Golf Awards, including Portugal's Best Golf Course (2014, 2017, 2019, 2021–2024) and Europe's Best Golf Course (2022 & 2023)
The South Course is the crown jewel of Quinta do Lago. Designed in 1974 by William Mitchell, who introduced American-style greens, tees and bunkers to the Algarve, it quickly established itself as one of Europe's premier championship courses. A favourite among European Tour professionals, this 6,500-metre, par-72 layout winds through umbrella pines, lakes and wildflowers, with stunning views across the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
Its championship status, however, does not deter the amateur golfer. While the 8th, 15th and 18th are testing holes for low-handicap players, the course's varying difficulty challenges golfers of all levels and abilities. Accurate tee shots are essential for reaching the greens, as the variety of doglegs and strategically positioned hazards demand precision throughout the round. The front nine, which weave through mature parkland, generally favour a draw, while the back nine, looping around the lake, favour a fade from the tee.
