Set within the heart of Portugal’s famous Ria Formosa Natural Park, Quinta do Lago is home to three highly regarded championship courses: the South Course, North Course, and Laranjal Course. Each offers a different style of golf while sharing the exceptional conditioning and attention to detail the resort is known for.

The South Course, originally designed by William Mitchell and extensively renovated by Beau Welling and Paul McGinley, is the resort’s headline layout and has hosted the Portuguese Open on multiple occasions. Wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers and water hazards demand thoughtful course management without being overly punishing. The North Course, redesigned by Beau Welling in collaboration with McGinley, offers a more modern feel with undulating greens and risk-and-reward opportunities throughout. Laranjal, once an orange grove, is widely regarded as one of the Algarve’s best-maintained courses, featuring rolling terrain, umbrella pines and picturesque lakes.

Across all three courses, maintenance standards are exceptional, greens run consistently true and rounds generally move at a comfortable pace. Combined with first-class practice facilities, luxury accommodation and excellent dining, Quinta do Lago remains one of Europe’s standout golf resorts.
