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 a selected few like 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.

Golf course was fine although some tees were messy. Greens were good.
Understand the problems about the clubhouse but the temporary arrangements are poor. Coffee shop not open for early golfers and toilet facilities are inadequate

Despite the lack of Clubhouse, the whole experience was very good. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the complimentary lunch pack was a good gesture to ease the lack of eating facilities.
Additionally, the course was is very good condition and greens were excellent.
Finally, my only downside of the experience was the lack of changing and bathroom facilities together with poor car parking facilities.
Otherwise , a great day!??????

The experience was great even though they dont have a clubhouse at the moment. The packed lunch for each player was a nice gesture and the staff were brilliant

The views were great but no proper clubhouse facilities poor, couldn’t rent a buggy, only push trolleys. Condition of course was ok but could have been better.

Exceptional and very challenging golf course. The staff were really good and took great care of us even with temporary facilities owing to clubhouse not being available.
Not overcrowded so a reasonable pace of play. Would recommend booking as we will definitely come back.

Would have scored higher but a group of Germans were in front of us, most of whom couldn't play golf. They wouldn't let us through and there were no marshalls.

Wem gutes Essen wichtiger ist als gutes golfen, der möge über das momentan fehlende Clubhaus klagen.
Uns hat der San Lorenzo einen unvergesslichen Golfrag beschert. Tolles und abwechslungsreiches Design. Sehr gute Qualität der Fairways und Grüns. Dass wir hier keine 10 Punkte geben können, liegt allein daran, dass man vom Service mehr darauf achten sollte, dass die Handicap Vorgaben eingehalten werden. Auf den zweiten 9 Löcher sind am Ende drei Flights auf einen Vierer aufgelaufen, die offensichtlich "nur" die Platzreife hatten und auf dem teils schweren Platz völlig überfordert waren. Schade.
Wir kommen aber auf jeden Fall wieder.
