Monte Rei North Golf Course
A Jack Nicklaus signature design, built from raw land in 2007 into one of the most talked-about courses in Portugal. This is championship golf in the fullest sense, routed by one of the game's greatest players, and it plays every bit as demanding as that pedigree suggests. Come here to test yourself, not to coast. ...
Quinta do Lago Laranjal Golf Course
Jorge Santana da Silva's 2009 design, carved through what was once an orange grove on the edge of the Ria Formosa. Modern routing, genuine scenery, and a quieter, more contemplative round than its more famous Quinta do Lago neighbours — one of the estate's best-kept standouts. ...
Vilamoura Old Course Golf Course
Where Algarve golf began. Frank Pennink laid the course out in 1969, and Martin Hawtree sharpened it in 1996 into the layout golfers play today. Mature, storied, and still the benchmark every newer Vilamoura course quietly gets measured against — a round with real weight behind it. ...
Amendoeira O’Connor Jnr. Golf Course
Christy O'Connor Jnr's 2008 design, the calmer, more traditional counterpart to the desert-style Faldo course next door. Sweeping fairways and a fair, genuinely enjoyable test across a wide range of handicaps — the sensible pick for a group with mixed abilities. ...
Vale do Lobo Royal Course
Henry Cotton's original 1965 layout, reshaped by Rocky Roquemore in 1997 into the course played today. A genuine piece of Algarve golf history, still asking real questions of anyone who plays it and bringing joy to those that do so well — heritage and challenge in equal measure. ...
Quinta do Lago South Course
William F. Mitchell's 1974 design, the course that put the Golden Triangle on the golfing map. Mature, prestigious, and still the round every other Quinta do Lago course gets quietly compared against — a genuine Algarve institution. In a postcard setting. ...
Palmares Golf Course
A 27-hole course above the Bay of Lagos, split into three loops of parkland and links golf. Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s 2010 redesign ranks 26th in Golf World's Top 100 in Europe, with the Atlantic and Meia Praia beach in constant view. One of our personal favourite courses. ...
Espiche Golf Course
A modern Peter Sauerman design from 2012, with a clubhouse addition following in 2014. Fresh routing and contemporary conditioning without decades of wear behind it — a strong pick for golfers who want consistency over history. Magazine's Worldwide Clubhouse of the Year for 2015. ...

Morgado Golf Course
An inland valley course that punches above its price tag: three straight years hosting the Open de Portugal. Wide-open early holes give way to a wind-tested, undulating back nine — a sharper alternative to the coastal names and a break away from the coastal crowds. ...
Quinta da Ria Golf Course
Designed by Rocky Roquemore and opened in 2002, it rewards patience over power. No villas, no noise — just wetland, olive trees, and the sea. A course inside a protected nature reserve, closing with a par-3 17th played beside an island that doubles as a bird sanctuary. Worth the drive east, and guests keep saying so. ...
Salgados Golf Course
Pedro Vasconcelos's design, opened September 1994 in the Salgados Lagoon Nature Reserve; renovated 2012 by Álvaro Mano, with a newer island green at the 12th. A course with real pedigree and a genuinely fresh finish — coastal Algarve golf that's kept pace with the times rather than resting on its history. ...
Gramacho Golf Course
Eighteen fairways, twenty-seven greens — nowhere else in Europe lets you play the same course and never quite repeat yourself. Genuine championship pedigree hiding inside a course anyone can enjoy, closing with a par-5 18th right under the clubhouse terrace. ...
Vale do Lobo Royal Course
Henry Cotton's original 1965 layout, reshaped by Rocky Roquemore in 1997 into the course played today. A genuine piece of Algarve golf history, still asking real questions of anyone who plays it and bringing joy to those that do so well — heritage and challenge in equal measure. ...
Vale da Pinta Golf Course
Built in 1992 around a single olive tree that's over 1,200 years old — still standing, still in play. A course you get better at every time: hidden turns and blind shots reward the regulars, and the European Seniors Tour agreed for the best part of a decade. ...
Quinta do Lago Laranjal Golf Course
Jorge Santana da Silva's 2009 design, carved through what was once an orange grove on the edge of the Ria Formosa. Modern routing, genuine scenery, and a quieter, more contemplative round than its more famous Quinta do Lago neighbours — one of the estate's best-kept standouts. ...
Vale do Lobo Ocean Course
Shaped by a three-time Open Champion, Sir Henry Cotton. Finished after his passing, and still delivering the money shot: holes 11 to 15 running right along the Atlantic. A guest favourite for a reason - this is the picture-perfect postcard round playing right along the beach. ...
