Quinta da Ria

With the sea on one side, and the mountains towering on the other, Quinta da Ria's setting is awesome, and the golf course lives up to its billing too. The 6,579 yard layout is built around the five man-made lakes that are the focal point of the landscape, which also provide the course's irrigation.

More than 300 trees have been planted around the course, and there is a restriction on construction, ensuring that the integrity of the environment remains intact. The signature holes are undoubtedly the 16th and 17th, which are carved through the lakes, and can either make or break your round.

These outstanding holes and the stunning surroundings help to explain why Quinta da Ria has become a mainstay of a golf holiday around the Eastern area of the sunny Algarve.

Very poor service from staff on course, difficulties in sorting out our buggies which ultimately involved almost 4 of their staff, and to be honest got the day off to a very poor start. A private function was on after the golf and made drinks very hard to get, we would have had food but no confidence that it would arrive before our taxi called for us. Doubt that any of our party would return here. As a separate issue the transfers from and to the airport and the golf courses were excellent.

The club swapped the tee times so we played this course on the Sunday rather than the Friday as booked. This wasn’t a major issue. Both da Ria & Cima were in very good condition. The 2 main issues we had a group were 1. On arrival on the Friday were advised that Your Golf had only paid for 3 buggies where it clearly stated on our confirmation that we had booked and paid for 4. The lady at reception was helpful and provided the 4 buggies. This applied to the Sunday booking also. The 2nd issue was that the Clubhouse was closed on both days and if it wasn’t for the flexibility of the same staff member (on both days) we would not have had access to refreshments post the round. Given the hot weather this was very poor organising by Your Golf. We were advised that all golf operators were advised that the clubhouse was closed. The secondary impact was that our booked transfers had to be amended so that we were not left sitting at the clubhouse for 90 mins with no bar amenities. I had to contact Your Golf to arrange a change of time for pick up.

One of the best kept courses on the Algarve. Trees are main hazard and greens are tricky and fast. Good sea views and water comes into play on several holes. If they let the rough grow it would be hard.

The course is a good test of golf and tested our group , it is a bit disappointing to get onto the 10th tee to find that a 4 ball cut in. When asked how they managed that they said that the after 9 holes they fancied something to eat !! This obviously made our round. A lot longer than we hoped.

Disappointing that the greens had been hollow tined a few days before. Someone should have informed us when we were booking that this may be the case.

A terrific layout with some great views. A very fair course with some tough holes and some real birdie chances. Easily walkable course which is just as well as no buggies were available.Greens in good condition and lunch at the clubhouse was excellent.

Served by the same clubhouse the course as markedly better than Quinta De Cima. Great views of the sea and the coastline , more challenging as the bunkers encroached onto the fairway approach. Kept us interested to the end.good course

Excellent golf course, stunning sea views, just let down a little by very wet (sometimes boggy) fairways and semi rough. Greens slow. Despite this would play again. The new clubhouse area is looking good. It was not ready for our trip (we were advised so no problem) but the temporary facilities were very good.
