Very good service!
Peter Clement
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.
john moorhouse
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
Luke Holland
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.
Stefan Kobewka
Excellently presented course. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Jerry Bower
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.
Barbara McGuinness
Great day lovely touch with lunchbox surprised no clubhouse and paid top dollar for drinks
Maurice Coreau
The course layout is very nice . As for the staff very ordinary service . The course conditions are not great but ok .
Kim Christensen
Nice Course
Martin Punch
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 .
Paul Kelly
Good effort under the circumstamces
For Gods sake fix the paths...price of oil remains high ????
Derek Barwise
Nice layout, scenery. But fairways in poor condition and non-existent clubhouse
Mark Boon
Well again we managed to play and avoid too much rain. The course had held up very well considering the weather. There were some wet patches but that was to be expected. The greens were good and ran well. The staff were helpful and the complimentary pack up due to there being no clubhouse was appreciated.
We will be back a great test of golf. The 18th is a great hole.
Andrew Whittingham
The course was heavily affected by recent heavy rainfall in the last few weeks with very wet fairways. Buggies as a consequence were not allowed. The greens were in very good condition. Cart paths are in poor condition. Staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a challenging and interesting course, well worth playing
Mark Hughes
New clubhouse is being built, apparently due to open in 2027, so given this, the facilities are limited ie Portacabin for drinks with a limited range of food available. That said the course does provide a nice packed lunch to take on the course. The course could use a bit of TLC, especially the paths. We had an unfortunate experience, as the GNR closed the roads approaching the course due to a triathlon taking place. Luckily for us the staff at Pinheiros Altos came to our rescue taking us in a buggy to the borders of San Lorenzo where the staff collected us and took us to the course!
Ray Crome
It was truly memorable. The course layout was amazing and the condition was good. No clubhouse currently but it was a nice touch to be provided with a packed lunch. If what we were told is correct, it will potentially be back at number one or two in the Algarve. Can’t wait to play it again in the future.
Ian Stokoe
Course much improved from when we last played. A very enjoyable round.
Neil Ross
Very friendly staff, but no clubhouse yet. Course condition below average.
Jeremy Pragnell
We thoroughly enjoyed our round at San Lorenzo today. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the course was in surprisingly good condition despite the heavy rainfall.
Robin Booth
Friendly, relaxed and efficient welcome albeit from temporary facility as clubhouse closed which detracts greatly from the overall experience you expect from a premium golf course in this area of the Algarve. The course itself is well laid out, a good golf challenge with fairways and greens in good condition - on the negative side around the course, tee boxes are not the best and much of the cart path around the course is in real need of attention with many uneven surfaces.
Andrew Robinson
In very good condition, it was a shame they had no clubhouse
Thomas Holley
Very nice holes, some with stunning views. The course is challenging but fair. Yes, there's currently no clubhouse, but the staff make up for it with their friendliness and helpfulness. The course is in very good condition. The bunkers have too much sand and, above all, too many rocks :-) The greens are very soft, making them very bumpy in the afternoon due to pitch and spike marks.
Overall a great course - a must play.
Robert Gordon
Great staff..too bad they don’t have a clubhouse.
Thomas Chapman
The course was in great condition and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. See you again next year.
Andrew staples
such a wonderful course but greens are inconsistent and no water in the water cleaners on each hole
Robbie Chisholm
Course layout is fantastic, but the condition of the golf course is not what it was the last time i played it.
Mark Kerrigan
Beautiful course, in great condition early October. Greens slow but smooth. Cart paths are very bumpy
Ben Hughes
Very good, despite no clubhouse
Philip Kucharski
Friendly staff but slow play due to many groups.
Slow greens
Nice views
Infrastructure needs more investment
Ben Spence
Really lovely course with some excellent and challenging holes, a great mix for golfers of all abilities.
Greens and fairways in good condition and staff friendly and helpful.
Looking forward to revisiting when im back in 2026.
Steve Threader
San Lorenzo has always been a great layout with some spectacular holes. The club house burning down obviously affects the experience off the course but the best way to describe on course is it is looking tired. The condition of the course generally was not up to its previous standards, bare patches in a lot of areas and excess wet patches in other areas which had been dug up by the mowers. Pathways ridiculously bumpy and need work and driving range upgrade as it is not the best. Still a great course to play but condition letting it down for now.
ALLAN MACKENZIE
Lovely round at San Lorenzo, course was in great condition and staff were very welcoming. Pack lunch was a nice touch as there is no clubhouse. Great layout and good greens
Lawrence Kirkbride
Thoroughly enjoyable
Ann Livingston
Having never played the course before we had high expectations as San Lorenzo is portrayed as one of the best courses in the area. We were aware that there was no clubhouse and brought food with us, however we were then presented with a complimentary packed lunch! On the whole the course was great with some very challenging holes and a high level of difficulty.
We were very disappointed with the greens however as most seemed to be suffering from some kind of disease to varying extents.
Lawrence Kirkbride
Great team of staff
Hans Peddemors
Great golfcourse. Hopefully next year a new clubhouse
Detlef Schmidt
Very nice place, very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the condition (especially the paths) is not good.
It's a shame that there isn't enough money for a clubhouse, etc. The place has a lot of potential.
Sue Evans
One of the most scenic courses in the Algarve, was a pleasure to play, staff friendly and efficient.
Course paths were in need of repair but this I understand will soon be addressed and the building of a new clubhouse, this gem of a course needs to stay
JOHN MCQUILLAN
Couse layout and condition was excellent. I had read some recent reviews on the course condition but while the cart paths etc. around the edges were a bit rough, the actual course was superb. I could see construction was well under way for the new clubhouse.
Stefan Sedlmayr
It was a nice round of Golf - what should be mentioned is that they have no club house and the range is a 3 out of ten. The rest was great , friendly and great conditions of the course
Darren Howlett
Such a great track, hopefully the new clubhouse will add something and sort those buggy paths!
Declan McDonnell
Lovely course, cart paths very rough, lunch pack very welcome. Good luck with new clubhouse
Paul Jardine
They do the best with what they have available and are very friendly and helpful. Course was in much better shape than we expected.
John Dempster
This is probably the best course in the Algarve in my opinion. The scenery and layout of the course are excellent as well as the quality of the greens. Some of the paths are a little bumpy in a buggy and there is no club house currently. However we played millionaires golf with nobody else on the course. I suppose that will change when the club house and associated apartments are completed -as will the price!!
Dr Robert Schweiger
After the fire, the stuff does everything to make us have a nice golf course, greens in good condition, pathways for the buggies pretty destroyed. But all in all a very nice experience.
We certainly turn to play
Eamonn Twomey
A great experience! The golf course is superb and in great condition. The cart paths are a bit rough in places but we knew that. We also knew there was no clubhouse but they gave us a very nice lunch pack. The staff were excellent, very friendly
John birt
Great staff always make you feel welcome and the course was in top condition
Peter Kirby
Good and will be class when clubhouse rebuilt
David Stubbings
Good course just not as good as the royal
Course Generaly good but paths very poor some tees poor and no clubhouse till 2027
Stephanie
Two very nice holes but they are not making up the bad condition of the course. Course needs an urgent renovation, not nearly worth the money.
Stephen McGovern
Really enjoyed the Course today! Was very easy to book via teetimes.pt. Communication and booking was very simple and easy.
Ben Wright
Lovely challenging golf course however be aware the clubhouse was destroyed by fire a few years ago. Limited facilities available.
Richard Turner
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
Colin Fotheringham
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!??????
john birt
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
Stuart MacDonald
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.
David Kirkham
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.
Stuart Begg
Lovely course layout however requires some maintenance, tees and paths etc.
David Stubbings
Staff great course ok but very poor pathways
Juuso Kukkonen
Quick&easy! Trustworthy!
Terence Henshall
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.
Ralph Püschner
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.
Mark Berry
Sadly there was only a temp club house / snack bar which is outside so was quite cold and made us not stay. However the staff were very nice and accommodating plus the course was brilliant. Even without the facilities we had a great day and will definitely be returning.
Horst Hubig
Toilettenanlagen auf dem Platz müssen unbedingt erneuert werden.
Gerald Nuessel
Schöner Platz, teilweise nicht so gut gepflegt
Erik Engelkes
Very good maintained course, no clubhouse at this moment. We have to wait to long at the flights in front to us.
David Williams
People were polite and helpful, the course in reasonably good conditions but the cart paths are terrible and detract from the overall experience. No club is ridiculous in this day and age, ownership should be ashamed. Purely for the golf it is a worthwhile experience.
Colin Dick
What a great golf course with some truly amazing holes. This will definitely be one to remember the greens were amazing and very fast. It’s a shame about the clubhouse and I’m sure they’ll get this sorted soon but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back to play this course again in the future.
Jens Lehmann
No clubhouse, very aged cartways, BUT a really interesting course
Mark Boon
San Lorenzo was a great test of golf today. The reception staff were warm with there welcome and the complimentary pack up as the clubhouse is a temporary one was well received. The course was in good condition and the greens were fast and true. We will come back as long as the green fee does not become overpriced.
Alistair Reid
Magnificent course in very poor condition.
Colin Thaw
Really enjoyed the course layout. Sadly the slow play of groups in front prevented us from completing our round as we ran out of daylight. Maybe tee times should not be sold at 13:00 on 9 November? Despite the slow play we enjoyed the course and would not hesitate to return.
Keith Mercer
The course itself is excellent, some great holes and very well maintained. Lack of a clubhouse not an issue for us but would be good to inform clients before hand
Some of the cart paths are in need of repair
Ted Johnson
Although this course is a little rough around the edges (damaged cart paths, temporary clubhouse, some damage to greens), it’s a great layout, surrounded by beautiful homes and the sea (!!!), the people are very nice (providing us with complimentary home made sandwiches, water and energy bar), and it’s great fun + 4hr pace of play.
Franz Schautzer
Not in best condition
Claudio Monaci
We love this course and we didn’t expect to find it with such a lack of maintenance.
Two years after, still no Clubhouse, paths and general aspect of the course is quite neglected. Many greens were not at their best.
The staff was very helpful and kind as usual
Sebastian Urban
Greens were ok but a bit broken.. place maintenance wasn't the best either, price performance wasn't right. staff was very very friendly
guy derry
Very good staff
Amanda Parket
Fantastic - enjoyed the course a great challenge and what a finishing 18th
Thomas Chapman
Excellent course with fairways and greens in great condition. Will be back again next year
Jonathan Mortimer
A lovely golf course with no one on it, the lack of a club house apparently puts people off. Would definitely recommend it.
MICHAEL KIRBY
Excellent layout and condition ok. Shame the clubhouse hasn’t been rebuilt yet. Course staff looked after us though and delivered a packed lunch to the course to us.
Ivan Taylor
Challenging golf course in very good condition considering the dry summer. Cart paths in need of attention. Very friendly staff but obviously facilities are limited due to the clubhouse fire. Definitely a course to return to in the future.
Donald Reid
Really disappointing. Clubhouse burned down so relying on temporary facilities which is fair enough. However, no one seemed very interested when we were checking in, range was average, course itself was showing signs of ageing and nowhere near the level expected for the green fee. Be prepared to dodge the potholes and bumps on the cartpaths!! Buggies had no GPS. The course layout remains really strong but sadly let down by the condition overall - needs serious investment.
Paddy Whitfield
Course in tip top condition. 18th hole one of the most difficult to negotiate. Shame that the clubhouse has not yet been rebuilt, but the fact that payment includes hire of buggy plus packed lunch is suitable compensation.
San Lorenzo does not get the same acclaim as courses at Quinta Do Lago and Val de Lobo but in my opinion is very much equal to them.
Andrew Rankin
Staff are friendly and helpful. The course is tired and a majority of pathways need repairing - in value terms the green fees are expensive. Otherwise the area is beautiful and there is much potential.
Ian Gorham
Generally lovely course. Always has been. But it needs investment in places. No rakes in many bunkers - which is silly. Staff said the course "couldn't afford them!". Some scruffy rough and tees. Greens were OK though. The free lunch in a bag was nice but I'd rather have rakes in bunkers...!
Jim Douglas
Loved the course, in need of a little maintenance but great set up. Club house to be rebuilt so no comment at this stage on facilities
Gianni Munday
Lovely course, some very special holes & well looked after by the staff there, plus as a bonus, was nice & quiet, so got around very quickly!
Hans Peddemors
I know the course, is always a great experience to play there
Tamina Kreyenhop
Very nice staff, wonderful golfcourse, unfortunately the clubhouse burned down - so there are no facilities.
John Dempster
A fabulous golf course slightly let down by the state of the buggy paths and the fact that the club house burnt down. Needs a little tlc but in our opinion this course has the best layout in the Algarve
Haaye de jong
best layout - like always they could do a bit more on the maintenance
Nick Dalgarno
San Lorenzo is probably my favourite course in the Algarve and despite the lack of clubhouse the staff were the friendliest anywhere and nice touch with the lunch bag. However, it is not in as good condition as it was when I last played it about 10 years ago and is in need of some investment and tlc. Some scruffy parts on the course and paths etc far from pristine. Buggies don’t have GPS and not enough sprinkler/yardage markers. I would hate to see it go the same way as Penina did some years ago as it is too good to be under-invested
Caroline Mahony
Really enjoyed my round at San Lorenzo. It’s a top notch course with really helpful staff. Thanks to Luiz & all others.
From Teeboxes to greens the course was in great condition. It has the nicest scenery in Quinta, taking in the wetlands. Only small issue I have are the position of the trees on the Ladies 3rd teebox.
I hope all goes well with re-build of the club house. The temporary bar is perfect in the meantime and the complimentary lunch bag was most appreciated.
Carole Drury
Good course although buggy paths need major repair. No club house at present but complementary bag of sandwiches etc provided
