Golf Competition
Monte Rei North Golf Course Tavira, Algarve
Monte Rei Golf Course is Jack Nicklaus's only design in Portugal, and the first of his Signature courses to reach the country when it opened in 2007. The North Course sits in the eastern Algarve, in the foothills of the Serra do Caldeirão, with mountains behind and the Atlantic in view to the south, on a 1,000-acre estate near Tavira. It held Portugal's number one ranking for close to fifteen years, a run few layouts anywhere can match.
Water comes into play on eleven of the eighteen holes, and the routing keeps each one in its own corridor, so there's rarely a view of another group's game. It's a par-72 layout of eight par-4s, five par-3s and five par-5s, running to over 6,500 metres from the championship tees, with doglegs on several holes and tees set high enough to catch the wind. The 13th is the signature hole: a downhill par-4 from an elevated tee, its green pinched between a lake and a run of sand. The 18th closes matters with a 550-yard par-5, the lake shadowing the approach and, for the longest hitters, still tempting a run at the green in two.
The buggy is included in the green fee, useful across terrain that rolls more than it lets on, and the practice facilities stretch to a full driving range and an on-site academy with resident professionals. A clubhouse restaurant and snack bar, locker rooms and pro shop round out the day. Book a round at Monte Rei and see why it's held its place among Portugal's finest for the better part of two decades. (...)
Quinta do Lago Laranjal Golf Course Quinta do Lago, Algarve
Laranjal golf course is Jorge Santana da Silva's design for Quinta do Lago, the third course to open at the resort, arriving in 2009. It's routed through what was once an orange grove in the Ludo Valley, a couple of kilometres from the main estate, and takes its name from laranja, Portuguese for orange. In 2011 it was voted best golf course at the Portuguese Travel Awards.
The layout runs against type: five par-5s, eight par-4s and five par-3s, for a par 72 stretching to around 6,480 metres. The ground is flat, with no severe slopes, and easy to walk. Tree cover here is lighter than at Quinta do Lago's other two courses, with orange trees, cork oaks and umbrella pines set more for character than containment. Water spreads across both nines and gathers on the back, where the 16th, a par-5, plays as the signature hole, with several lakes putting a premium on placement over power.
The clubhouse holds a restaurant and snack bar, and there's a driving range and academy with resident professionals, along with a pro shop. Buggies come fitted with GPS, though there's no locker room on site. Book a round at the newest of Quinta do Lago's three courses, and one with a character all its own. (...)
Quinta do Lago North course Quinta do Lago, Algarve
The North course at Quinta do Lago wears its history well. Laid out originally in 1974 and expanded through the late 1980s, it was reborn in 2014 after a €9.6 million rebuild led by architect Beau Welling and former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, one of the most thorough renovations any Algarve course has seen. The result plays every bit as sharp as that investment suggests.
The layout runs anti-clockwise through corridors of umbrella pines, and it rewards a golfer who can shape the ball right to left. Sandy, natural terrain and spring wildflowers give it a wilder character than its manicured neighbours, while the bunkering, rebuilt from scratch in the renovation, is some of the most exacting in the region. The par-4 12th is the hole most golfers remember: a lake runs the length of the fairway and reaches almost to the green, forcing a long, precise iron into a well-guarded target. Water returns to close out the round on the 18th, so there is little room to relax at either end.
Facilities include a full driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant overlooking the course. The North pairs naturally with its more famous sibling, the South, for golfers looking to sample both sides of Quinta do Lago's reputation in one trip. For anyone who enjoys a course that plays as good as it looks, this is one of the region's genuine tests. (...)
