CAMPO DE GOLFE DA EUROPA: SUL
Golf at Quinta do Lago is shaped by the landscape itself — pine forests, lakes, and the protected beauty of the Ria Formosa. Across three award-winning courses — South, North and Laranjal — players experience variety, challenge and unforgettable views at every turn. The South Course has hosted the Portuguese Open, the North was redesigned with Paul McGinley, and Laranjal remains a favourite for its setting and flow. Backed by world-class facilities and expert coaching, this is golf at the highest level — in one of Europe’s most remarkable locations.
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 was built to the highest specifications, with a €9 million investment. All greens, tees, bunkers, irrigation, and drainage systems were 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 favourite on the European circuit, the South Course has hosted the Portuguese Open eight times and remains one of the most iconic layouts in the region. Set against the Ria Formosa, it blends technical challenge with striking scenery, offering a mix of precision holes and open fairways. With recent renovations focused on sustainability, drainage, and playability, it continues to meet the highest standards — and deliver rounds players talk about long after they finish.
Originally an orange grove, Laranjal offers a completely different rhythm to the game. Known for its rolling fairways, mature umbrella pines, and wide greens, the course has earned awards for both design and conditioning. Set slightly inland, it’s a quieter, more secluded experience — ideal for those who enjoy strategy and flow in equal measure. With five par-5s and a strong variety of shot-making opportunities, it’s a favourite among regular players.

Unbelievable course. Honestly the best course all of us had played, and we've played 8 others in Portugal. Will play again here in a heartbeat! Service, course condition, club house were all superb.
Probably one of the best courses i've ever played, the last few holes especially where a sight to behold, can't wait to go back
Course was very quiet which was great from my perspective. Course was in pretty good condition for the time of year. Greens were still very fast and all the staff I encountered were very polite and friendly.
