Quinta da Ria Golf Course
Quinta da Ria Golf Course was the first of two 18-hole golf courses in a spectacular location on the coast of the eastern Algarve, known locally as 'Sotavento'. Quinta da Ria, situated in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, has already been described by experienced golfers as the most breathtaking golf course in the Region. In fact, there will be no houses, or villas, or apartments to distract you from your game: just you and a breathtaking nature. A nice open golf course, very thick rough, lower edges bunkers and some water coming in to play on some holes.

Ria was in Excellent condition. Quinta de Cima fairways however looked scorched so I’m glad we didn’t play that one.

Not played it before but it was a very nice layout. Greens were tough but in great condition. It's not a patch on the Quinta courses, or Monte Rei (which is not far from Quinta da Ria) but it was nice to play somewhere different for a change.
