Widely regarded as one of the best golf courses in the Algarve, is Quinta do Lago North. Redesigned in 2015 as part of a €9.6 Million investment at the five-star Quinta do Lago Resort. This course blends beauty with strategic challenge across 6,776 yards (6,195 Metres). Created by Ryder Cup winning captain, Paul McGinley, and acclaimed architect Beau Welling, this par 72 course features striking water hazards, strategically placed bunkers, and undulating greens that reward precise ball-striking and thoughtful course management.
With four sets of tees, golfers of all abilities can enjoy the course at their ideal level. Facilities include a modern driving range, putting green, and an inviting restaurant and snack bar, perfect for relaxing after an unforgettable round in the heart of Quinta do Lago.
Vale Do Lobo Royal Golf Course
Vale do Lobo is one of the Algarve’s most iconic golf destinations, offering stunning scenery, luxury facilities, and courses that challenge golfers of all levels. With rolling fairways lined with trees, sparkling lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean just a short walk away, Vale do Lobo is a fantastic option for a golf holiday in the Algarve.
At the heart of the resort is the Vale do Lobo Royal Golf Course, one of the most iconic Vale do Lobo golf courses. Its famous 16th hole, often referred to as the most photographed in golf is a 226-yard par 3 that demands extreme precision to hit the green, amidst the sound of the hungry sea crashing against the cliffs below. Continuing to challenge players, the course also features a near island green at par 3 ninth, requiring a well struck shot to reach safely.
This par 72 golf course offers an enjoyable and rewarding round for all abilities. Facilities include a restaurant, snack bar, putting green and driving range, while the vibrant surrounding nightlife gives golfers an opportunity to explore a 19th hole after a day on one of the best golf courses in the Algarve.

Another must visit golfing destination in the Algarve is the Vilamoura Old Course, combining history, challenge, and beautiful surroundings.
Established in 1969, The Old Course has built a reputation as one of the best golf courses the Algarve has to offer, attracting players of all levels who seek a classic Algarve experience. Ideally situated just half-an-hour from Faro Airport, it’s easily accessible for a golfing holiday or a day trip.
This par 72 course winds through mature pine trees that catch any stray shots, with undulating fairways that demand precision to reach the medium-sized greens.
