Quinta do Lago South

Doug Smith2018-08-25
This is my favourite golf course on the Algarve. Today was no reason to change that view. Beautiful conditions on a beautiful course. Fairways in great condition and immaculate greens. What pleasure to play this great course. Don’t miss the chance to play here.

Jason Hoe2018-08-01
Immaculate!

Seamus Sands2018-07-24
Fantastic course, good playing partners, great day, fabulous scenery

Darren Howlett2017-07-03
Great to get back onto the South course having seen it closed for June maintenance the past few years. A favourite of many of our group, well thought out course with amazing villas as the backdrop. The area around 14/15/16/17 with the Lake is stunning.

ALAN COOMER2016-11-18
Nice course

James Hodgkinson2016-10-11
Fantastic course, up there with the best ive payed along with the Old Course in Vilaoura and Woburn in the UK. Course was in fantastic condition, greens were probably the fastest and most difficult ive played in a long time (good thing!). Only gripe would be we played off the yellow tees, i play off 8 and am a reasonably big hitter, therefore didnt find it that long. If play at the Quinta group next year, which i think we probably will, i'd ask if we can play off the whites, as this looked far more challenging from these tee beds. In summary a great course and i'll definately play it again. Fantastic clubhouse and facilities, staff very friendly.

Ian Ogilvie2019-03-12
Excellent course - difficult to fault it

Nick Fry2019-01-21
In good condition. Good pace of round. Staff courteous

Sklepek2019-01-12

Magnifique. Super green. Parcours très exigeant. À découvrir.

Mikko Raunio2018-11-12
Fantastic course and very good condition. Unfortunately there were heavy rain after front nine and then course was quite wet

ROGER HERRING2018-11-05
Excellent

LAGIER2018-11-05
Beau golf beaucoup monde bien entretenu

Christopher Burke2018-10-23
Brilliant from start to finish

David Reeves2018-10-21
Fantastic course, great set up lovely true greens and friendly staff, the perfect combination you want when you are paying a lot of money for a round of golf.

Claude Girard2018-10-19
Very nice and difficult

Richard Bell2018-10-17
Professional, attentive and friendly staff. Course was in good condition although the greens had been pencil tined.

Dan Carter2018-10-15
Superb course and in fantastic condition

Mr Bill holmes2018-10-14
Great course but very slow - over 5 hours, This seems to be a regular feature of Quinta, not just a few slow groups. 8 minute intervals are too tight, particularly when there are a lot of holiday golfers. Inserting groups on the 10th doesn't help. We arrived at our scheduled time and then had to wait 25 minutes for rwo 4 balls starting there

Robert Angell2018-10-13
It is an excellent golf course and we all really enjoyed. Pick up and collection we on time.

George McDonald2018-10-11
Great day. Course was perfect. Customer service at arrival and during day was excellent. A high improvement on ptrevoyeard.

Glenn M. Gyi2018-10-09
Very challenging course with some narrow fairways and lots of water but was in excellent condition. Very much enjoyed playing it and the facilities and service were excellent

Peter Grant2018-10-05
Course in great condition and staff very welcoming

Steven2018-10-01
Amazing course. Arrived late and managed to squeeze us in which was terrific. Very friendly staff!

Daniel MacSweeney2018-09-30
Quality course. Top class

David Sabberton2018-09-25
Excellent friendly welcome. Beautiful course.

Cliff Mottershead2018-09-17
Very nice complex, very nice golf course, very nice service

Stephen Hooker 2018-08-22
Very good - very nice welcome , shop very helpful ( we didn't have a printed voucher) . Course excellent - difficult to choose but this was our best course this trip ( from QDL north , Victoria and VDL ocean ) . Two tiny moans - we didn't once see the buggy bar - fortunately we had water with us bought at the bar before we started ( a tad expensive -12 euros for four 500ml bottles ???) The course was superb so that took away any slight disappointment .

Tony Martin2018-07-01
All good , great course

Darren Howlett2018-06-27
Fab check in, they were prepared already for our arrival and the course was outstanding even if the round was 5 hours plus...

Danny Rawluk 2018-06-14
Very pleasant round, greens fast & true. All staff friendly & helpful.

Curtis O'Reilly2018-06-04
Excellent course layout. I thought for the time of year the course would have been in better condition. Staff in pro shop were friendly as were the staff on the patio afterwards serving drinks. I would definitely play again however I feel it is over priced. 100 Euro without a cart would be more than enough for this course.

Philip Halpenny 2018-05-21
Always a pleasure to play (despite adverse comments below). Great condition, especially the very fast greens. Some holes really need to be redesigned. 8th is unplayable - no matter how good the drive, it finishes in left rough, frequently blocked out by trees, fairway needs to be levelled off. 9th fairway needs to be extended back towards tee, currently only reachable by lower handicap golfers. 18th fairway is unfair, all drives end up in right tress, fairway only capable of being held by driving over bunker, achieveable only by low handicappers - fairway needs to be levelled off.

Atle Conradsen2018-05-18
Everything went perfect, Great course

Mike Ford2018-05-14
excellent

Ian Smeaton2018-05-06
Hard to find fault, everything from clubhouse to course to bar top notch

Richard Lewin2018-05-03
I really enjoy playing this course. It is so well laid out and the organisation is perfect. Slight quibble this year was that there were quite a lot of returfed areas on the course which hadn't taken so parts of the areas around the greens looked poor.

Tom Hainsworth2018-05-01
beautiful course

Liam Barry2018-05-01
We enjoyed our round but I think the course was in better condition last year.

bill holmes2018-04-29
Still a great course but showing it’s age a bit.

Graham Sharp2018-04-25
Too expensive especially the extra €50 for a buggy

Stuart young2018-04-24
Really great. One hole was being worked on and it should have had some areas as gur which would have made it easier to play

Per Lokken2018-04-20
Slow play , return pickup to early

Timo Kahila2018-04-05
Positive experience, the course was in formidable condition

Dr. Alfred Etzrodt2018-04-05
nice day good golf well organised

Hamish Philp2018-03-28
fantastic golf course friendly staff only negatives were the driving range closed on Wednesday afternoons and the practice putting area was slower than the greens apart from that all was great!

Jürgen Blickle2018-03-18
This course is very good. Even yesterday it was heavy raining, it was in a perfect condition. Very friendly staff!

Caspar von der Crone2018-03-15
Great place, was fun and we will be back. Very friendly staff

Thomas Wicker2018-03-05
Brilliant course, better to use a cart, perfect greens and fairways

Michael Ewings2018-02-20
Good course but there seemed to be some work around the greens. Maybe they should advise you of any changes.

Clive Sims2017-12-16
Everything was very good. Course excellent condition. Staff excellent.

Padraic Delaney2017-12-06
Our experience in Quinta Da Lago was exceptional. The south course was a very good test and we really enjoyed it. The service from the staff and the condition of the golf course will certainly lead us to return and play the other courses in Quinta Da Lago.

Barton Fields2017-11-27
Staff were pleasant and helpful. Food was good and the golf course still very nice to play. Looked a bit tired compared to Quinta North and having played them both fell in love with Quinta north. That would get a nine.

Gill Travis2017-11-19
Superb course & brilliant greens. We were given the option to play earlier (which we took & were glad we had) otherwise we may not have got a full 18 holes in at 1pm. It should not take 4.5 hours to play 18holes - 3.5-4 hours maximum! Again problems with speed of play, etiquette & golfing competence from some players. Golf courses in Portugal need to ask for handicap certificates rather than money!!! This is a fabulous course & well worth playing but nowhere is worth 120 Euros..........(never mind more in some places)

Richard Bell2017-11-04
Excellent one of our favourite course, Greens excellent

Trevor Simpson2017-10-28
Superb course. Really enjoyed this. Practice facilities and buggies excellent. Only disappointment was amount of damage to the greens through unrepaired pitch marks. This though entirely the fault of players rather than the course. Would definitely go back here.

Marc Luthi2017-10-26
Beautiful course. One of the best in the Algarve. Well maintained course and very friendly service. best regards, marc

Andrew Rice-Tucker2017-10-23
Beautiful course best of the four we played. Buggies expensive particularly when on paths only.

Westley Macey2017-10-19
Well established with some wonderful holes definitely a course to play nice clubhouse

John Beckett2017-10-18
Excellent service but greens heavily pitch marked

David Edwards2017-10-16
Good experience. Generally felt by the Group that it was the best course of the 5 we played. I prefer Laranjal but I was a lone voice. Got round quickly though we did start very early so there was no one ahead. Don't know what it would have been like later in the day.

Michael Davies2017-10-14
Good

Thomas Hodel2017-10-12
very busy, of course it was high season

Jim Reid2017-10-08
As North course but more positional play required. Rated this 5th

Patrick Higgins2017-10-05
Great

Kevin Barker2017-10-05
Course excellent , Staff very good

Gary Wills2017-10-04
Still has to be one of the best in the Algarve

John Harte2017-10-04
Good course.

Garry Hilliard2017-09-15
Quinta do Lage South was an absolute superb course with some stunning, picturesque holes....... very enjoyable.

MARK RICHARDS2017-08-29
Needed to cancel and rebook and the service was excellent! Thank you

Jon Mycek2017-08-23
A fantastic course that I would love to play again. This was my favourite course out of the 5 courses that I played.

Eithne McMahon2017-08-20
I had a fabulous day . Lovely course .

Alan Dixon2017-07-27
Played Quinta do Lago South on several occasions in the past and disappointed this time as the fairways had clearly undergone maintenance with lines and alittle patchy. Perhaps, the golf course should reduce fees in these situations as expensive to play when you should be experiencing the best conditions for the price paid.

Danny French2017-07-22
Excellent quality experience overall, buggy had sat nav. Customer service is very good.

David Dawson2017-07-11
Best course I've played on will play again.

Brendan Collins2017-06-27
Outstanding beautiful course, a very close second to Faldo. We would love to play it again in the future.

Alan Hennessy2017-05-26
Excellent golf course, quite hilly for anyone walking with the manual trolley. Greens excellent

Clive Sims2017-05-18
Our favourite course.

Jeremy Pragnell2017-05-08
Excellent

Paul Maclean2017-04-23
Very friendly, course was very nice. It is, however, hilly and quite hard walking, so I would recommend people who aren't very fit to take a buggy!

Timo Kahila2017-04-19
Very good

Rien Schakenraad2017-03-25
Excellent..only buggy fee of € 55 very steep.

Michael Smullen2017-03-23
Courses are very expensive to play, poor value for the money. *** TeeTimes reply: This golf course is world class , brand new buggys, gps

Axel Heuser2017-03-08
I prefer this course instead of its sister course, this course favours the long hitter

Tom Broodbakker2017-02-19
Beautiful course

Paul Dickinson2017-02-02
Excellent

Geraldine Tuohy2017-01-17
Very good

Alison Hill2017-01-14
Excellent, the course was championship quality as you would expect. Staff were extremely helpful and professional,

MARIA RODRIGUEZ2017-01-09
Everthing OK

simon walkley2016-11-30
Again in our top 4 courses - excellent

margaret platt2016-11-08
Nice golf course

Marcus Williamson2016-10-31
The course design winds around complexes of Villas,apartments & Mansions but there is plenty of room to stray off line.The rough on most of the courses is kept low for speed of play but still reaches 4-5 hrs even with buggies.The greens on this course are superb with a few undulations to keep you busy.

Gary Wills2016-10-24
Great golf course. The French lad who was the starter on the 10th let our experience down.

Karin Bratusch-Marrain2016-10-23
Perfect

Pedro Gonçalo Bandeira Fernandes2016-10-23
Ótimo campo. Grande visual.

Ken Mitchell2016-10-13
First time for a few years we had played. Overall confirmed that this is a great place to golf

Chris Lundie2016-09-28
Very nice golf course - badly sign posted however, difficult to find

Trevor Hatton 2016-09-27
Very good. Course in very good condition. Cannot fault.

Kevin Miller 2016-09-20
always in good nick and enjoyable to play

Tom Darcy2016-09-15
All Good

Paul Oates2016-09-09
Great course and facilities. We were let down by transfers on this day to the course but after a few phone calls taxis were arranged and paid for by the golf without any problems. We ended up late for the tee time but fortunately the course was not busy. If it had been busy it might have been a problem !!

Dawn Smith 2016-06-23
Condition was as good as usual

Philip Halpenny2016-06-01
Good condition, as always. However, severe slope to left on 8th and bunker left/slope to right on 18th are serious flaws, resulting in there being no right way to play either hole. This seriously detracts from what is otherwise a fantastic course

Maurice Rogers2016-05-31
Excellent. The course was in fine condition. The staff in the clubhouse and on the course were extremely courteous and helpful.

Balz Riesterer 2016-05-24
Ok, we had some light rain this day. The course is in better condition than a year ago. Play rather slow!

Robert vincent2016-05-22
very good

Raymond Chapman2016-05-02
Excellent

Paul Whittaker2016-04-08
the better of the 2 courses in my opinion. some great holes. Buggy costs of €50 each .are unreasonable

amr el cherif2016-03-21
nice course

Fran Mackey2016-03-10
We received a warm welcome and the course was not in as good condition as the other courses. some tee boxes were poor and there seemed to be a lot of damage around the greens (compared to last year)

Carl Hegarty2016-02-17
The south course is excellent very challenging but with some fantastic holes. Greens firm and true. Love the course. Again it will be a regular feature of our annual trip.

Graham Sharp2016-02-16
Good course and very friendly staff

Paul Dickinson2016-02-07
The redevelopment had a light negative impact that could not be helped but the course condition was disappointing. The worst it has been since I first played it 25 years ago

Clive Sims2015-12-23
The course was excellent. Again Marshalling was poor, same experience as the Old course with a very slow 4 ball.

Timo Kahila2015-12-08
Very good

Barton Fields2015-12-07
Superb course and great service once again.Nice new buggies too!still one of the best courses for me.

Clive Sims2015-11-10
Excellent

Adrian Thorogood 2015-11-02
Used to be my favourite course, but looks tired now and the condition of fairways and tee boxes really poor.

Terry Richards2015-11-01
Players reported that they had thoroughly enjoyed their day

Richard Bell2015-10-30
Very good course, some of our less able golfers (15, 16, 18 HCP) found it very challenging but all players really enjoyed.

Robert Fleming2015-10-28
Good

Paul Reynolds2015-10-25
A fantastic place to play golf . Could never tier of playing golf here . Superb.

Andrew Robinson2015-10-22
not in great condition for price paid

Liam Kearney2015-10-18
Always a very enjoyable course in a beautiful setting. Maybe course maintenance not up to usual high standard but still enjoyed the golf.

Chez Carlos Golf Society2012-09-10
Our first Summer Event was always likely to be popular after all we were to play one of the finest courses in the Algarve at a very special price followed by a BBQ back at our base in Vilamoura. We gathered mid-morning at the QDL driving range for a brief presentation at the new Paul McGinley Fitting Centre. State of the art video equipment and swing analysis with professional assistant ensures your new clubs are tailor made. It is well worth a visit. Quinta Do Lago South has hosted the Portuguese Open eight times. In 1989, Colin Montgomerie won his first European Tour event here by an impressive 11 strokes, set a course record of 63 and a Tour record of 24 under par. The course is laid out on beautiful undulating terrain with shady umbrella pines and a few man-made lakes that attract many aquatic bird species. The signature hole is the scenic par-3 15th (160mts) with a long carry over a lake to the green set amongst pine trees. Warren Griffiths took the honours of nearest the pin here after hitting his shot to within a metre and securing a birdie. Special mention must also go to Paul Beevers taking the Longest Drive with a mighty 283mts on the fabulous 17th hole – awesome. The course was in fine condition which is something that you always come to expect from Quinta. Sun and blue skies were the order of the day though a coastal breeze helped from the temperature from soaring – perfect. Multiple prizes today with four nearest the pin competitions, Gross Score, net Stableford and a Team Stableford. Special thanks are extended to our sponsors that include in no particular order Onyria Palmares, Vale Do Lobo, Monte Rei, Pestana Group, Boavista Golfe, Morgado / Alamos Golfe, Catmandoo Clothing, Chez Carlos Restaurant & Bar, Professional Golfer Monia Bernardo and Chez Carlos member Chris Milford. Afterwards it was an optional return back to The Chez Carlos Restaurant & Bar for a specially prepared BBQ that included suckling pig, wild boar and octopus salad. Our thanks are extended to Fillipe and his team for looking after us so well and to all those that took part throughout the day. It was a great event and one which we are sure to repeat. Best Gross – (Par 72) 1st: Martin Firth 75 2nd: Derek Hughes 81 Net Stableford 1st: Martin Lewis 37pts (19+18) 2nd: Eve Koch 35pts (18+17) 3rd: Paul Jackson 35pts (20+15) 4th: Dave Willis 34pts (17+17) Best Aggregate: 1st: Peter Vaughan, Paul Jackson, Paul Beevers, Warren Griffiths: 128pts Longest Drive: Paul Beevers Nearest the Pin: 4th: Steve Whipps 7th: Ladies: Annie Densham. Gents: Martin Lewis 11th: Graham Newman 15th: Warren Griffiths

Chez Carlos Golf Society Tournament @ Quinta Do Lago South2011-09-06
It has been two years since the Society last played at Quinta Do Lago so a visit was long overdue. The course is laid out on beautiful undulating terrain with countless shady pines and a few man-made lakes that attract many aquatic bird species. Long hitters can take full advantage of some generous fairways but correct placement of shots is required to score well. The 15th Par 3 is the signature hole demanding a long carry over water. Depending on the wind it could be a driver! The course was in fine condition and was well on the way to be being perfect just in time for the start of a new golf season (mid September); all that was needed was the rain - not a common occurence in August. Clive Davies started with an impressive birdie at the first hole to hand a card in with 36 points after a recent 2 shot handicap reduction by the Society. There was a three way scramble for second place with 29 points. It was Paul Loerns first time playing golf in Portugal. Quinta do Lago is certainly a course to impress and it showed on his face after the game - welcome to the Society Paul.
