San Lorenzo Golf Course - latest comments and reviews

Robbie Chisholm 2025-10-08
Course layout is fantastic, but the condition of the golf course is not what it was the last time i played it.

Mark Kerrigan 2025-10-08
Beautiful course, in great condition early October. Greens slow but smooth. Cart paths are very bumpy

Ben Hughes 2025-10-04
Very good, despite no clubhouse

Philip Kucharski 2025-10-03
Friendly staff but slow play due to many groups. Slow greens Nice views Infrastructure needs more investment

Ben Spence 2025-09-28
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.

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.

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 2025-09-11
Thoroughly enjoyable

Ann Livingston 2025-09-08
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 2025-09-02
Great team of staff

Hans Peddemors 2025-08-11
Great golfcourse. Hopefully next year a new clubhouse

Detlef Schmidt 2025-08-05
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 2025-08-05
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 2025-07-23
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 2025-07-22
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 2025-07-22
Such a great track, hopefully the new clubhouse will add something and sort those buggy paths!

Declan McDonnell 2025-07-21
Lovely course, cart paths very rough, lunch pack very welcome. Good luck with new clubhouse

Paul Jardine 2025-07-12
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 2025-07-07
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 2025-07-05
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 2025-06-25
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 2025-06-25
Great staff always make you feel welcome and the course was in top condition

Ian Brady 2025-06-08
Excellent

Peter Kirby 2025-06-07
Good and will be class when clubhouse rebuilt

David Stubbings 2025-06-04
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 2025-05-25
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 2025-05-22
Really enjoyed the Course today! Was very easy to book via teetimes.pt. Communication and booking was very simple and easy.

Ben Wright 2025-05-19
Lovely challenging golf course however be aware the clubhouse was destroyed by fire a few years ago. Limited facilities available.

Richard Turner 2025-05-16
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 2025-05-08
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 2025-05-07
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 2025-05-04
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 2025-04-30
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 2025-04-21
Lovely course layout however requires some maintenance, tees and paths etc.

David Stubbings 2025-04-04
Staff great course ok but very poor pathways

Juuso Kukkonen 2025-03-27
Quick&easy! Trustworthy!

Terence Henshall 2025-03-24
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 2025-03-24
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 2025-03-24
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 2025-03-12
Toilettenanlagen auf dem Platz müssen unbedingt erneuert werden.

Gerald Nuessel 2025-03-07
Schöner Platz, teilweise nicht so gut gepflegt

Erik Engelkes 2025-02-21
Very good maintained course, no clubhouse at this moment. We have to wait to long at the flights in front to us.

David Williams 2025-02-12
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 2025-02-03
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 2025-01-29
No clubhouse, very aged cartways, BUT a really interesting course

Mark Boon 2025-01-28
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 2024-11-16
Magnificent course in very poor condition.

Franz Schautzer 2024-11-14
……..

Colin Thaw 2024-11-09
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 2024-11-08
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 2024-11-08
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 2024-11-04
Not in best condition

Claudio Monaci 2024-11-03
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 2024-11-03
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 2024-10-23
Very good staff

Amanda Parket 2024-10-20
Fantastic - enjoyed the course a great challenge and what a finishing 18th

Thomas Chapman 2024-10-17
Excellent course with fairways and greens in great condition. Will be back again next year

Jonathan Mortimer 2024-09-25
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 2024-09-20
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 2024-09-13
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 2024-09-07
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 2024-09-04
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 2024-09-01
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 2024-08-17
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 2024-08-14
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 2024-08-13
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 2024-08-12
I know the course, is always a great experience to play there

Tamina Kreyenhop 2024-07-29
Very nice staff, wonderful golfcourse, unfortunately the clubhouse burned down - so there are no facilities.

John Dempster 2024-07-08
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 2024-07-07
best layout - like always they could do a bit more on the maintenance

Nick Dalgarno 2024-07-05
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 2024-06-30
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 2024-06-21
Good course although buggy paths need major repair. No club house at present but complementary bag of sandwiches etc provided

Jon Cofield 2024-06-11
The layout of the golf course is second to none as each hole is different and a challenge for any level of golfer. It is a shame the clubhouse was a victim of fire but the staff try so hard to be welcoming with a packed lunch and portacabin bar drinks station. For those who have played the course over several years it is not maintained to the same level. It is however in decent condition and well worth a visit.

Michael Webber 2024-06-04
A little untidy, but interesting course. Good service, but lack of club house is a downside. Also cart paths need sorting!

Stephen Stratton 2024-05-30
San Lorenzo is in very poor condition especially the front 9 and not worth the premium price being charged. When we played there in December last year it was excellent but has deteriorated badly in the last 6 months.

Paul Turner 2024-05-28
Tees and surrounds require attention but fabulous lay out

Mark Stevens 2024-05-25
We had a fantastic day

Scott Couper 2024-04-27
Great course needs work

Ernst Gordijn 2024-04-27
We liked the course good quality, we get lunch pakket as compensation because there was no clubhouse, it was destroyed by fire,but the people were very friendly

Joe Dowling 2024-04-26
Good course, some great holes, staff excellent..pity about path ways , and lack of clubhouse due to fire

Michael Quinlan 2024-04-20
Course is beautiful!

Sarah Smith 2024-04-02
Course itself was not in great shape The facilities at the club we were made aware of and staff we apologetic

James Sutherland 2024-04-01
Love San Lorenzo. Seen it in better condition but also worse. Staff were excellent.

Anne Smith 2024-03-31
Great staff - lunch was a bonus that wasn’t offered in September

Frances Trowell 2024-03-28
Course facilities could be better maintained. Not the course itself but the paths are in part terrible and difficult in a buggy

Greg Lewis 2024-03-25
club house is gone and although there are still limited facilities and the staff were very helpful. we are paying alot of money and should be informed that they don't have a clubs house, there is one working toilet and limited facilities. Course design is v good and it should be one of the best courses around but there is a lack of maintenance and general upkeep compared to the other courses in the area. We've played this before and it was the same case a couple of years ago. the level of upkeep has fallen over the years but the price has stayed the same so I would be going to one of the other courses next time. Still an enjoyable game of golf if you can't get out elsewhere.

Jamie Winchester 2024-03-17
Poor condition. Extremely slow pace. Gave up after 8 holes. Not worth the money

Gerhard Wittmann 2024-03-05
Ein sehr schöner und abwechslungsreicher Kurs. Sehr schöne risk und reward Löcher.A very beautiful and varied course. Very nice risk and reward holes. Definitely worth playing here more often. Auf jedenfall Wert hier öfter zu spielen. -**-

Gordon 2024-03-02
Very pleasant and helpful staff although play was rather play

William Waddington 2024-02-19
Course in good order. Staff friendly. Speed of play was good. One of the best courses in the Algarve

Bruce thompson 2024-02-13
Welcoming reception, lovely course. Greens good, some tees and paths need attention.

Nick Fry 2024-02-11
Course in great condition despite the weather. Received a complimentary lunch pack - nice touch. Staff great. Very impressed

Ben Sturman 2024-02-07
Great course, cart paths need to be renewed as very uneven

Gillian Dawson 2024-02-06
Course is not in the best condition. We did know before playing that there was only a temporary clubhouse but were a bit surprised to be given a packed lunch. This could have been useful if we had known in advance because we had our own food with us. We suspect that most people visiting would prefer the green fees to be more realistic for the current course conditions though we do recognise they are lower than a few years ago. There were only a few people on the course. Unfortunately the 4 ball in front of us would not let us through so we waited on every shot.

Ole Strassburg 2024-01-30
We enjoyed the course but there could have been an information that the clubhouse has burned down and there are no showers available.

Henk Tunen 2024-01-21
Wij kwamen aan, en de receptie en waar je wat kunt drinken, is ondergebracht in portocabins. Dat is nergens vermeld of aangegeven..... Als compensatie een lunchpakket voor onderweg maar ik had het liever eerder geweten. Volgens TeeTimes kon ik de buggy cash afrekenen op de course, maar dat kon alleen met een kaart..... Verder een prima golfdag gehad. De baan lag er goed bij en het was mooi weer! -**- We arrived, and the reception and where to have a drink is housed in portocabins. This was not mentioned or indicated anywhere..... As compensation, a packed lunch for the road but I would have preferred to know earlier. According to TeeTimes, I could pay for the buggy in cash on the course, but that was only possible with a card..... Otherwise, I had a fine day of golf. The course was in good shape and the weather was nice!

Eric Segers 2023-12-09
Very nice views ,good holes and greens,but expensive and terrible buggypaths.

Wilfried Schreiber 2023-12-05
Top Pflegezustand und sehr interessantes Layout. -**- Top condition and very interesting layout

Claudio Monaci 2023-12-04
It’s always a pleasure to play in San Lorenzo.

M. Mrs. Geist 2023-11-24
Great course conditions. Of course it is unfortunate that the club house burned down

Bert Ulrich 2023-11-18
Great course, friendly staff
