Quinta da Ria Golf Course was the first of two 18-hole golf courses in a spectacular location on the coast of the eastern Algarve, known locally as 'Sotavento'. Quinta da Ria, situated in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, has already been described by experienced golfers as the most breathtaking golf course in the Region. In fact, there will be no houses, or villas, or apartments to distract you from your game: just you and a breathtaking nature. A nice open golf course, very thick rough, lower edges bunkers and some water coming in to play on some holes.

No complaints. It would be nice to start at the first tee in the morning rather than the 10th.

This was our second time playing Da Ria, the course is very good with two very different nine holes, the back nine are very picturesque and also quite challenging with the front nine being slightly up and down par 4s. Don’t like to be too critical as they are all nice to play. The only downside to our day was the pace of play which took us 5h 30mins , we were waiting on every shot!
We will definitely be playing again!
