Quinta da Ria Golf Course

Quinta da Ria Golf Course

Quinta da Ria Golf Course
18 Holes
Par 72
6620 yards

Set within the stunning Ria Formosa Natural Park on Portugal's Eastern Algarve coastline, Quinta da Ria is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by Rocky Roquemore. Measuring 6,620 yards from the back tees, it is renowned for its spectacular setting, with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, sandy barrier islands, and the protected lagoons of the Ria Formosa.

The course features gently undulating fairways, strategically placed lakes, and well-guarded greens that provide an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all abilities. Accuracy and thoughtful course management are rewarded throughout the round, while the natural landscape of olive, almond, and carob trees enhances the sense of tranquillity and beauty. Combining championship golf with some of the finest coastal scenery in the Algarve, Quinta da Ria offers a memorable golfing experience that is as enjoyable for its breathtaking views as it is for the quality of the course itself.

Quinta de Cima Golf Course

Quinta de Cima Golf Course

Quinta de Cima Golf Course
18 Holes
Par 72
7202 yards

Quinta de Cima is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course stretching to 7,202 yards from the back tees, making it the longer and more demanding sister course to nearby Quinta da Ria. Designed by renowned architect Rocky Roquemore, the course has earned a reputation as one of the Algarve's finest tests of golf and has hosted several professional and senior tour events.
Set among rolling countryside lined with ancient olive, almond and carob trees, Quinta de Cima offers wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers, natural streams and large, undulating greens. While the generous fairways provide opportunities from the tee, precise approach play and careful club selection are essential to navigate the course's water hazards and challenging green complexes.

Unlike its coastal neighbour, Quinta da Ria, Quinta de Cima delivers a more inland golfing experience, focusing on strategy and shot-making rather than scenery alone. Its memorable finishing holes, combined with a peaceful natural setting, make Quinta de Cima a favourite among golfers seeking a rewarding championship challenge in the Eastern Algarve. You have direct access from hotel.

Castro Marim Golf & Country Club

Castro Marim Golf & Country Club
27 Holes
Par 72
6310 yards

Located in the eastern Algarve close to the Spanish border, Castro Marim Golf is a unique 27-hole complex comprising three distinct nine-hole loops: Guadiana, Atlantic and Grouse. Designed by Terry Murray, the course sits in an elevated position overlooking the Guadiana River, offering spectacular views across the Algarve countryside and into neighbouring Spain.
The layout is known for providing a varied and enjoyable golfing experience, with rolling fairways, pine-lined holes, strategically placed bunkers and several elevated greens.

The combination of the three loops creates a range of challenges, rewarding accurate shot-making and thoughtful course management. While playable for golfers of all abilities, Castro Marim offers plenty of interest for more experienced players, particularly when the wind is a factor.

18 Holes
Par 72
6831 yards

Designed by the legendary Severiano Ballesteros, Quinta do Vale is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course located in the picturesque Guadiana Valley near Castro Marim on the Eastern Algarve. Opened in 2008, the course showcases Seve's trademark philosophy of creating a layout that is both enjoyable and strategically challenging for golfers of all abilities.
The course is uniquely configured with six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s, creating a distinctive and memorable round. Wide fairways encourage confident driving, while numerous doglegs, water hazards and well-positioned bunkers reward careful course management and creative shot-making.

Set among rolling hills overlooking the Guadiana River and the Spanish border, Quinta do Vale offers spectacular views throughout the round. The front nine weaves through natural lagoons and valleys, while the elevated back nine provides stunning panoramic vistas across the surrounding countryside. Combining championship golf, beautiful scenery and Seve Ballesteros' imaginative design, Quinta do Vale delivers a rewarding golfing experience that challenges experienced players while remaining enjoyable and accessible for higher handicapper

Monte Rei Golf & Country Club

Monte Rei Golf & Country Club
18 Holes
Par 72
7182 yards

Regularly ranked as one of the finest golf courses in Portugal, Monte Rei Golf & Country Club is an exceptional Jack Nicklaus Signature course set within the rolling hills of the Eastern Algarve. Opened in 2007, the par-72 championship layout combines world-class conditioning, outstanding service and a stunning natural setting to create one of Europe's premier golfing experiences.
Measuring 7,182 yards from the back tees, Monte Rei is a strategic and visually spectacular test of golf. The course winds through unspoilt countryside with dramatic views of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, while water hazards come into play on many holes, demanding careful shot selection and rewarding intelligent course management.

Nicklaus' design makes superb use of the natural landscape, incorporating elevation changes, undulating fairways, strategically positioned bunkers and expertly contoured greens. While challenging for low handicappers, the course remains enjoyable for golfers of all abilities thanks to multiple teeing options and generous landing areas. What truly sets Monte Rei apart is the overall experience. With limited daily tee times, impeccable presentation and attentive service from arrival to departure, guests enjoy an atmosphere more akin to an exclusive private club than a traditional resort golf course.

Golf Handicaps
World Handicap System (WHS ) Handicap Players Only - WHS Handicap 38 or lower Handicap Index number is required at the time of booking Please advise our reservations team. Alternatively you can add this to the special requirements box on our booking page. If you have a certificate please ensure you take it with you on the trip, this enables the Tour Leader to assess everyone’s ability, so that rounds and competitions can be organised fairly. If you are uncertain about these requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to advise you.  Handicap certificates are required   https://www.englandgolf.org/WorldHandicapSystem
What to Wear
Golf Footwear Golf shoes with soft spikes are required. What to Wear Golf attire during the day. We suggest smart casual for the evenings.
Carriage of Clubs
We advise you to use a light golf bag when packing your clubs. We suggest you wrap a towel round the neck of the clubs to protect them and stop them rattling around whilst in transit. It is also important to then place the bag and clubs in an outer carrying bag, which can be purchased from any good golf shop.
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €25.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.
Golf Club Insurance
You will most probably find that your golf clubs are covered on your household insurance policy. Most policies cover a single item such as golf clubs for a period out of the country. However, you should make very sure that you do have sufficient cover and take out an additional policy if required.
Passport, Visa & Entry Requirements Portugal

From the 12th October 2025 the EU is introducing a new European Entry System (EES) that will be phased in and fully operational by the 10th April 2026. Non-EU nationals including British passport holders will now be required to complete biometric checks on arrival and exit to Schengen countries, which will include facial recognition and fingerprints. There is no cost for this, and no action needs to be taken prior to departure.

To enter Portugal or Madeira your passport must meet 2 requirements. It must be:  
  • less than 10 years old on the day you enter (check the ‘date of issue’) 
  • valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’) 
Check both the issue date and the expiry date in your passport. If you renewed your passport early, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. This could affect the requirement for your passport to be less than 10 years old. 
 
A visa is not required by holders of passports endorsed “British Citizen” for stays of upto 90 days in any 180-day period. Please note that stays in other EU countries counts towards this 90 day period. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct visa, a valid passport and any other travel documents for your holiday. 
 
All information provided relates to British citizens who hold or are entitled to apply for a British passport. For the most up-to-date visa information please visit; Portugal Foreign Advice 
 
If you are not a British citizen and do not hold a British passport, you must make your own enquiries as to the applicable requirements.
Health Requirements Portugal
Compulsory vaccinations: None. 
 
All clients are responsible for acquainting themselves with up to date health information of the countries being visited and where necessary take the required precautions. We recommend that you check with your doctor prior to departure as this information can change. You can also visit the travel health website for more information; Travel Health Portugal
