San Lorenzo Golf Course
San Lourenco Golf is a par 72 course located in Quinta do Lago and is considered one of the best and most beautiful golf courses in Europe. The fact that this is an award-winning course is no coincidence. Bordering with the breathtaking Ria Formosa Natural Park, some of its holes are blessed with what can only be described as exquisite beauty, complemented with salt water lakes. If the first holes present no major surprise or challenges, after the 3rd, closer to the estuary, San Lourenco starts to reveal itself. After the 5th hole, a par-3 and the course's shortest, you're introduced to a dolgleg, stroke 1 sixth hole where your main challenge will be to avoid the dense shrub, so make sure you get your distances just right. As you get to the 7th, life is by no chance made easier but you still get the bonus of the outstanding views from this elevated tee before you have to focus on how to get around that green almost entirely surrounded by water.
On the back nine, the 12th is the most challenging hole on San Lorenzo, featuring a deep chasm along the left of a very narrow fairway. Holes 13th to 16th also face the ocean with the latter proving to be the most demanding par-3, featuring a whole 180 m carry to a shallow green. Seventeenth is, again, extremely beautiful but still falls short of the beauty that awaits you on the last hole. It is a great finale and one that will remain in your memory as it has an excellence that is renowned worlwide. It is, without a doubt, a course for special occasions, that will provide you with unforgetably beautiful moments. Of course such a unique course had to have unique requirements concerning the booking of your green fees and that is only possible if you are a guest at the 5 star Dona Filipa Hotel nearby or by contacting Tee Times who will make the required arrangements to book what will be one of the most special games of golf you will ever play in your life.

Played this fantastic layout many times over the years. Condition greatly improved compared to last time we played the course about 3/4 years ago.
Tees fairways and greens have benefited from investment. Buggy paths need upgrading. I'm sure the new owners will continue to invest with the new Clubhouse construction underway.

the buggy pathways need a lot of work but the course is still iconic with marvellous vistas.. the club house still needs rebuilding and there appears to be no information as to what is going on. the staff were excellent

Absolutely lovely golf course and staff. Although there unfortunately is no club house, they still have a lovely outdoor area and bar they worked with. The range, course, staff were really nice.

A very nice design and layout. Holes #8 (par 5) and #18 (par 4) are 2 lovely, yet VERY difficult holes. Cartpaths are old and in really bad shape however. Will be much nicer when the new Clubhouse is rebuilt and done. The hospitality was excellent and very nice that they gave us bottled water and a boxed lunch to take in our buggys.

Excellent Course - Good distances from Tee to Greens - Very Scenic - Will be a better experience when Clubhouse & Facilities are built.
Green Fees at Full Rate - Should be a reduction or free Buggies based on no facilities - Food pack is a nice gesture .
