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. ...
Old Course Vilamoura 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. ...
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. ...
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. ...
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. ...
Ombria Golf Course
An inland Algarve course carved through a former fruit farm north of Loulé, where two strikingly different nines and serious elevation change reward careful course management over raw power. It's matured fast since opening in 2023, and regulars now rank it among the best-conditioned courses in the region — reason enough to build a round in. ...
Millennium Vilamoura Golf Course
Two very different nines in one round: pines and tight lies early, open ground and sea breeze late. The par-3 6th, guarded by water and a deep bunker, is the shot everyone remembers. Sociable, well-paced golf that never outstays its welcome. Right in at the heart of Vilamoura's golf cluster ...

EAST ALGARVE: SIX COURSES, COUNTLESS REASONS TO STAY
Some golf destinations make you want to squeeze in another round. Others persuade you to stay another day. The East Algarve does both. Between Tavira and the Spanish border, this corner of southern Portugal brings together distinctive Algarve golf courses, coastal scenery and towns where a leisurely lunch deserves a place on the itinerary.
For golfers exploring Portugal golf courses, variety is one of the East Algarve's greatest strengths. Monte Rei North, Quinta da Ria, Quinta de Cima, Benamor, Quinta do Vale and Castro Marim all form part of the Tee Times portfolio, offering six very different reasons to discover this quieter side of the Algarve.
At Monte Rei, Jack Nicklaus's Signature design makes thoughtful use of the rolling landscape, with individual holes that reward careful decisions. Quinta da Ria brings the coastal setting into the experience, while neighbouring Quinta de Cima offers a contrasting layout and another compelling reason to spend several days exploring the area.
Among the Tavira golf courses, Benamor fits naturally into a stay combining golf with time discovering the town. Further east, Castro Marim offers 27 holes across three nine-hole loops, allowing different combinations. At Quinta do Vale, Seve Ballesteros created a distinctive challenge overlooking the Guadiana River, with six par threes, six par fours and six par fives.
Together, these East Algarve golf courses offer plenty of variety, whether you favour a demanding round, scenic surroundings or simply the pleasure of discovering a new course.
Come to the Algarve for the golf, but leave room for everything around it: Tavira's riverside streets, the views across the Ria Formosa and fresh fish enjoyed over an unhurried meal. These moments between rounds are an important part of the East Algarve experience.
The nearby Spanish border also opens up another possibility. Cross the Guadiana and you can extend your itinerary towards neighbouring Huelva, combining Portugal and Spain golf courses in the same trip and discovering different landscapes, courses and local flavours.
At Tee Times, we help bring those choices together, combining the right golf courses and accommodation to suit the way you like to travel.
Discover the golf courses of the East Algarve with us and start planning your next golf trip, one memorable round at a time.
For an excellent golfing holiday or golf break on the Algarve, we handpick the best hotels and provide the most attractive rates on golf-inclusive accommodation packages for you.
