QUINTA DO LAGO RESORT 5*
Quinta do Lago is a famous name in Portuguese golf, having been awarded many prestigious professional and amateur events. Its two outstanding championship courses are among the best in the Algarve, and are the perfect complement to the excellent resort hotel.
South Course
Quinta do Lago's South Course is one of the most prestigious in the Algarve, having hosted the Portuguese Open on eight occasions. Measuring 7,095 yards, the layout is cut through the undulating hills and pine forests, and was designed by William Mitchell.
The South Course is certainly a stiff test, even for low handicap players, with strategically positioned bunkers, threatening water and severely sloping greens. The course is demanding, but should not overawe the average golfer, and with superb views a number of outstanding holes is a fantastic place to enjoy a round of golf.
North Course
William Mitchell joined forces with Joseph Lee to create Quinta do Lago's North Course, which opened to visitors in 2000. The North is 6,561 yards from the championship tees, and is generally similar in style to the South.
Distance from the tee is not of great importance on the North Course, but being accurate is crucial. There are a number of tricky dog-leg holes, while the North is most renowned for its par-5s, particularly the closing hole, which demands a fine drive over water and between the encroaching fairway bunkers.

Vilamoura, meaning ‘Village of the Moors', is one of the most celebrated golfing destinations in Europe, surrounded by an array of outstanding courses, and just 20 minutes from Faro International Airport. With 300 days of sunshine yearly, it is understandable why so many golfers flock to the Algarve for a winter getaway. Vilamoura's other asset is that it is a holiday destination with something for everyone; the stunning marina is the town's hub, while in the evening Vilamoura comes alive, with many restaurants, bars and clubs where you party the night away. Alternatively, hit the International Casino for lively entertainment and the chance to beat the dealer.
Quinta do Lago's South Course was the setting for Colin Montgomerie's maiden professional title - follow in his footsteps around this Portuguese gem.
Wind down with a freshly mixed cocktail in the Laguna Bar before dining in one of the two restaurants; Brisa do Mar has a great range of Portuguese specialities, while the Ca' D'Oro serves a stunning Italian menu for dinner.
In Vilamoura, head to Casa del Forno for Italian food, or the Ostra d'Ouro Grill at the Marina for sublime seafood.
