The course was added relatively recently as a sister to the already established Quinta da Ria layout, and offers a good challenge to golfers of all abilities. Quinta de Cima is pretty open, allowing you to open you shoulders from the tee, but distance is not everything; the course is peppered with obstacles that include trees and cavernous bunkers. The course was designed by Rocky Roquemore, whose excellent projects are evident throughout Portugal, and measures 6,842 yards.

The best holes at Quinta de Cima are saved for the end, as 16, 17 and 18 are all spectacular holes, while the sea and mountain views make a round here all the more special.
