Magnificent rolling fairways and views stretching over the Ria Formosa estuary to Faro Island and the ocean beyond elevates San Lorenzo Golf Course by many as the best in the Algarve. Built in 1988 it has built a formidable reputation and was once ranked No2 in Europe just behind Valderrama – it presently resides at No24 just in front of Onyria Palmares at No26. San Lorenzo is simply is a must play course.
The Society once again supported another golf event this time in aid of Associacao Oncologica do Algarve a registered Charity giving practical help to cancer sufferers. With a green fee of just €50.00 it was always to be a very popular event and come the day 44 players took the field on a glorious sunny winter morning for an individual stableford competition. The course was in fine condition and with an stiff ocean breeze presented a tough challenge.
Eve Koch, Vilamoura Clube de Golfe member enthused ”This was my first time at San Lorenzo. The layout is on par with many other courses in the Algarve and the last hole is particularly challenging Very nice course with a cosy well decorated clubhouse and friendly staff. I look forward to returning very soon!”
