Golfing excellence
– 9 October, 2024 | Clubhouse Promotion
Quinta do Lago has been a trailblazer in the world of golf in Portugal since its inception in 1972, when André Jordan introduced a new concept to the region: integrating luxury residential resorts with top-tier golf courses.
Whilst this model had taken root in the United States and South of France, it was revolutionary in Portugal, sparking a transformation in the Algarve’s tourism landscape. Inspired by American-style golf resorts, he chose the Algarve’s stunning coastlines and climate for what would become one of Europe’s premier golf destinations.
Today, Quinta do Lago boasts three world-class courses – North, South, and Laranjal – each garnering international acclaim.
The North Course, redesigned in 2014 by Irish golf champion Paul McGinley and American architect Beau Welling, offers a challenging experience with fast greens and undulating fairways, incorporating modern technology whilst preserving the course’s natural beauty and making it a favourite for golfers seeking a demanding yet enjoyable game.
The South Course, having hosted the Portuguese Open multiple times, remains a firm favourite among professionals. This iconic course continues to challenge players with its scenic lakes and strategically placed hazards.
Laranjal, known for its picturesque setting amidst orange groves, provides a more serene yet equally challenging experience. Opened in 2009, this course stands out for its rolling terrain, five lakes, and pristine greens, ensuring an unforgettable game for golfers of all levels.
Quinta do Lago’s commitment to excellence extends beyond its courses. The Paul McGinley Golf Academy and Junior Club nurture the next generation of golfers, whilst the resort’s sustainability efforts reflect a deep respect for the natural environment. The resort also boat’s Europe’s only Taylor Made Performance Centre.
Recognised by numerous awards and rankings, Quinta do Lago is truly a golfer’s paradise.
