Quinta do Lago Golf Courses – Championship Golf at an Algarve Icon
Quinta do Lago Golf Algarve | South, North & Laranjal CoursesThe South Course is Quinta do Lago's crown jewel. Designed in 1974 by William Mitchell, it introduced
American-standard greens, tees, and bunkers to the Algarve. Soon, the course gained a prestigious reputation and became a flagship in the European Tour. A favourite among European tour players, the 6,500-metre par-72 course is set among umbrella pines, lakes, and wildflowers, overlooking the serene Ria Formosa Natural Park. Laranjal, originally an orange grove, is now a beautiful, entirely different golf experience. Its narrow fairways and well-defined greens require concentration and accuracy to navigate this testing route laid out on a rolling and distinctive terrain. It is a par 72, 6,480 meters, with five par 5s, eight par 4s, five par 3s set amongst umbrella pines, cork-oaks and orange trees with a natural water course and 5 beautiful lakes. Penn A4 was selected for the greens to help guarantee good putting surfaces all year round and the Fairways are sown with Bermuda. |
