Course Overview
ReviewsQuinta South Course
The South Course sits within the Quinta do Lago resort, a renowned golfing destination about 30 minutes from Faro Airport in Portugal. Convenient shuttle services connect from many resort hotels, making it easily accessible within the area.
This 18-hole course offers a scenic and challenging round with rolling hills and diverse greens. While some holes test even experienced players, it's generally playable for golfers of all levels. Expect a picturesque and enjoyable golfing experience surrounded by natural beauty.
The 5th hole, a par 5 on the South Course, holds the reputation of being the toughest. Stretching over 500 meters, it demands strategic planning. Aim your first shot left, followed by a right-aimed second to leave a short approach. Beware of the double bunkers guarding the green and its front-sloping nature for an extra challenge.
Expect the pricing to be on the higher end compared to other Algarve courses. However, the well-maintained course, exceptional service, and stunning setting contribute to the premium experience. Explore potential discount packages or combined golf and accommodation deals for better rates.
