Golf

As the Hotel Quinta do Lago is located in one of the most extensive and most prestigious golf resorts in Europe you would expect, as a guest there, that you would have access to some truly amazing courses. And you’d be right to think so.

Quinta do Lago has hosted a number of prestigious competitions, both professional and amateur; it therefore guaranteed to be top quality golf. The three magnificent championship tracks are among the best in Europe! The South, North and Laranjal Courses are all serious tests of golf and each have their own individual qualities which make them pleasing to play.


The magnificent Laranjal Course is the most recent addition to Quinta do Lago’s golfing portfolio.


Away from the courses at Quinta do Lago, Hotel Quinta do Lago is also situated within close proximity of the two outstanding courses at Vale do Lobo:  the Royal and the Ocean Course. The Royal is an epic cliff-top course, whose iconic 16th hole has, over the years, become one of the most photographed holes in the world. The Ocean Course on the other hand differs greatly to its older brother, whilst the tight Royal demands precision above all else, the Ocean demands golfers to use a higher level of creativity to score low round this challenging track.


The amazing Hotel Quinta do Lago is equally matched by the spectacular golf in the Algarve.
