Quinta da Ria sits inside the Ria Formosa Natural Park, on a stretch of the eastern Algarve where no villa or apartment block is allowed to interrupt the view. It is a rare thing in this region: a course with nothing around it but wetland, olive trees, and the sea. Designed by Rocky Roquemore and opened in 2002, it rewards patience over power, and the courses's own guests will tell you it's worth the drive east.
Five lakes work their way through the round, most notably guarding the 10th green, and the back nine edges close enough to the Atlantic that the sea breeze becomes a permanent playing partner. The par-3 17th is the hole most golfers remember: its green sits beside a small island that doubles as a bird sanctuary, a genuinely rare sight mid-round. Thick rough and flat, deceptively tricky bunkers punish anything sprayed off line, and the wind means club selection here is never quite as simple as the scorecard suggests.
Facilities include a driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant serving Portuguese food with a view back over the course. Quinta da Ria pairs naturally with its sister course, Quinta de Cima, next door, for golfers looking to spend a full trip on this quieter side of the Algarve. For anyone tired of playing the same handful of famous names, this is the detour worth making. (...)

Seve Ballesteros only put his name on a handful of courses, and Quinta do Vale, set in a natural valley above the Guadiana River with Spain visible across the water, is one of his most distinctive. The layout itself tells you as much: six par 3s, six par 4s, and six par 5s, a deliberately unconventional structure that keeps the round from ever settling into a rhythm.
Water is the story on the front nine, coming into play on most of the opening holes and demanding real discipline off the tee, especially with the coastal breeze that tends to pick up as the round goes on. The back nine moves into more sheltered, undulating ground, giving some relief before the closing stretch asks for one more decision. This is a course built on options rather than a single correct line, true to Seve's own game: every hole rewards the golfer willing to take on a risk, while still leaving a safer route for anyone playing it smart. Bring a few spare balls for the water, and treat a calm day here as a gift.
Facilities include a driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant with sweeping views back over the valley and river. Quinta do Vale pairs naturally with the other east Algarve courses nearby for a golfer looking to build a full trip around this quieter, less-crowded corner of the region. (...)
