Description and
map
Situated in an outstanding resort area with the background of Ria
Formosa, the Quinta do Lago courses are famous in the international
golfing world.
The Quinta do Lago course offered four nine hole loops with
sufficient flexibility to allow four eighteen hole combinations (all
Par 72). A recent transformation divided these four loops into two
different courses. Quinta do Lago, built over loops B and C, is
still the most famous. This course, designed by William Mitchell and
inaugurated in 1974, became world known after hosting the Portuguese
Open on seven occasions. The course allows the player to approach
greens in very different ways. The most famous hole is number 15, a
memorable Par 3 requiring a 200 metre shot right over a lake from
the championship tee onto a green surrounded by pine trees.
Quinta do Lago is part of the Natural Park of Ria Formosa, an
eco-system that hosts a great variety of birds. It is part of a
tourist resort of great quality, including excellent restaurants,
bars and the possibility of complementing the game of golf with
other activities.
