Golf:
Golf is definitively the most popular sport in the Algarve, no wonder when realising the climatological conditions all year round and the exceptional beauty of lay outs (most of them by famous international golf architects!!) and surroundings. Read below a selection of 4(out of 35) excellent golf courses.
Quinta do Lago
36 holes divided into Quinta Lago south course (now known as Quinta do Lago course (the old 'championship' course), par 72, 6488m) and Quinta Lago north course (also known as Ria Formosa course, par 72, 6205m). A truly international setting, synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. Both the courses enjoy spectacular views. Quinta do Lago course hosted seven Portuguese Opens. Very picturesque, with lakes and umbrella pines.
Ria Formosa course; apart from the par 3´s, nearly every hole has some form of dog-leg, some quite severe, others just hinting at a curve. What they have in common is that they demand accuracy from the drives to achieve the best results from the second shots. Vale do Lobo
also offering two courses, named Ocean course and Royal course. As the name implies, Ocean course provides attractive links-style holes adjacent to the Atlantic. Some greens are set against a backdrop of white sand and the brilliant blue of the sea. There are parkland holes, too, meandering through the Vale do Lobo estate. The combination provides a challenging course for golfers of all handicaps. The Royal course is originally designed by Sir Henry Cotton.
