Quinta da Ria

With the sea on one side, and the mountains towering on the other, Quinta da Ria's setting is awesome, and the golf course lives up to its billing too. The 6,579 yard layout is built around the five man-made lakes that are the focal point of the landscape, which also provide the course's irrigation.

More than 300 trees have been planted around the course, and there is a restriction on construction, ensuring that the integrity of the environment remains intact. The signature holes are undoubtedly the 16th and 17th, which are carved through the lakes, and can either make or break your round.

These outstanding holes and the stunning surroundings help to explain why Quinta da Ria has become a mainstay of a golf holiday around the Eastern area of the sunny Algarve.

Quinta de Cima 

Quinta de Cima unfolds over an impressive 7,200 yards plus layout from the back tees, offering a stimulating journey for golfers of all abilities, though it particularly rewards thoughtful strategy and precise execution. Designed by the acclaimed golf course architect Rocky Roquemore and opened in July 2002, this course has matured into a respected tournament venue.

While the fairways may appear welcoming your strategic thinking will be tested at every turn. A winding creek snakes its way across several holes demanding careful club selection and precise shots to avoid its watery grasp. Thoughtfully positioned bunkers guard the greens and landing areas forcing you to plot your way around the course rather than simply overpowering it. The experience builds to a crescendo with the final three holes a spectacular and challenging stretch of doglegs sand and water that will get your heart racing.
