Monte Rei North Golf Course - latest comments and reviews

Toine Rooijmans 2024-06-02
Staff were super friendly and very professional. All facilities were excellent. Driving range super nice and they even clean your clubs after the round. A top tier experience.

Ronan Lewis 2024-05-27
Outstanding. Course, staff, everything perfect.

Norman Bennett 2024-05-20
Fabulous golf course but in disappointing condition. Should not be charging full rate.

Alistair Becq 2024-05-12
Poor course maintenance, very slow play!

Thor Hellenaes 2024-05-10
Fantastic resort, a course with a great layout. Fast greens, dry and yellow fairways. Extremly deep bunkers, but great type of sand in them. Second best course in Portugal after Dunas at Terras Da Comporta.

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2024-05-08
Fantastic Experience, Golf Course constructed through valleys, and therefore you hardly see anyone else playing the course. But you need your A game, or lots of sleeves of balls! The staff were fantastic and tapas was wonderful!

Garry Hebert 2024-05-06
The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. Monte Rei is a beautiful course but due to the drought conditions the fairways were almost unplayable. Considering the condition of the fairways I did not feel that it was worth the cost.

Richard Turner 2024-04-23
Beautiful course and clubhouse and excellent service. Fairways were very bare in places probably due to the water situation and greens not as good as normal but OK. Lovely place to play golf.

Frans Pastoor 2024-04-23
Best golfcourse I ever played

Philip Ward 2024-04-04
Amazing service and incredible course. Condition was a bit patchy in places.

James Sutherland 2024-04-01
Lovely course and again the staff were excellent. Fairways were poor compare to the twice I’ve played there before.

Lauermann Andreas 2024-03-21
Normally a great course, but fairways and greens are not very good

Kirk Baert 2024-03-20
Great course

Dominic Novais 2024-03-03
The course is a championship course by experience (obstacles everywhere demanding a good shot, precision and strategy). Loved the layout. Only negative was that the course looked dry and not lush. Otherwise a privileged experience.

Roderick Lagendijk 2024-02-12
Conditions of the fairway and green was very poor

Nick Fry 2024-02-09
It rained for 24 hours before we played & up to 30 mins before we played & we were amazed how good the course conditions were

Karl Stark 2024-01-26
Fun course, lots of good holes. Service is great. Pace of play great due to not many people on the course. Greens pretty slow but ok. Fairways in terrible condition. No acknowledgement of this, no discount or compensation. Which is simply not acceptable when charging 200e when the fairways would have been bad on a 30e course.

Chris Bax 2024-01-20
Welcome is first class. Bag drop, valet parking, escorted to excellent range, 1st tee etc. Continues after the round… clubs cleaned, put in car - you get the idea. Course is varied and challenging - lots of bunkers, water and at this time of year the rough is punishing (hard to find balls). Greens immaculate and roll great. Fairways a bit scruffy in places (still recovering from summer drought?) Expensive but you have to do it once ????

Conor McCloskey 2024-01-15
Disappointed in the condition of the course. ! Monte Rei needs to get this course back to its former glory!

stefan kunz 2023-12-31
Everything perfect

Rogier Snoo 2023-12-12
Monte Rei is one of the best courses in Europe if you ask me. It has it all... full service (car gets parked and clubs/bags are placed on your buggies), nice shop, friendly people. Drivingrange is perfect, hit from grass with quality balls and try your skills from the bunker and the practice green. Once it is time the starter comes to pick you up to guide you to the first tee, explains some stuff, offers some fruit and off you go. The course is great. Every hole is on itself. The bunkers and water look impressive. The back 9 of the course is even more impressive than the front 9. Due to a very hot summer that damaged the grass the fairways weren't in that perfect condition as it used to be but still a thrill playing here. Once you finish your round you get a complimentary bag tag, your clubs get cleaned and bag are placed in your car again. It comes with a price, but when I go to the Algarve I can't skip playing this gem!

Harry Bodmer 2023-11-20
Monte Rei a Dream, relaxt Golf

Mark Punter 2023-11-19
It;’s a beautiful layout although rather remote. The overall condition of the course wasn’t great and was not to the standard you expect of Monte Rei. Some of the margins were also untidy and the greens were considerably slower than the practice putting green. The round was very slow and not a single marshall seen.

Bruno Verdiesen 2023-11-18
Not worth the price by far. Landscape heavily impacted by forest fire. Fairways not good due to lack of water.

Wilfried Dhaese 2023-11-18
Course in perfect condition. Great greens and very helpful staff

Nick Fry 2023-11-16
Great course - the fairways were a bit poor but everything else was great

Nina Schueller 2023-11-14
Monte Rei is as always worth a trip!

Adam Peck 2023-11-09
Service and staff welcoming and very friendly. Fantastic golf course too.

Sandy Marr 2023-11-02
Fabulous golf course, but not for the faint hearted. Every hole is a challenge, lots of water and bunkers but a great experience. Staff are amazing - very helpful and even clean your clubs for you. Tee times are well spread out, giving the impression of lots of space. Definitely recommend but bring your A game!

Marco Boschetto 2023-11-01
Amazing welcoming, 5 stars service, fairways a bit dry due to the hot Summer, very good greens, beautiful layout

Lauermann Andreas 2023-10-28
Greens perfect, but the fairways still suffering from the dry summer

JD VanCamp 2023-10-25
Course and facility staff are wonderful! However, the course itself is in abysmal condition. Totally misrepresented in pictures and green fees are way to high for the playing conditions here. Would not recommend nor play here again

Jonathan Dale 2023-10-22
Not good value for money, as the course was in very bad condition

Marco Serfilippi 2023-10-21
Monte Rei golf is a challenging course, but in these last years in very bad conditions...

PAUL TWITE 2023-10-16
Amazing Customer Service from Start to Finish. Course was great too and the eight of us enjoyed the whole experience.

Andrew Chambers 2023-10-13
Fabulous course and set up - definitely returning to this one

Vincent Brennan 2023-10-13
It is a fabulous course and the groups are spread out enough that pace of play is enjoyable

Hermien Creger 2023-10-02
Excellent hospitality, 5 star Excellent practice facility Post gold experience tapas, excellent, and in lieu of conditions receive $30 credit to use in restaurant. The course condition was out of their control due to government regulation of water / irrigation limitations A must play !

Andrew B Warrington 2023-09-29
Excellent

Branko Krmpotic 2023-09-15
Great layout, great professional service and a few brilliant marketing moves - effective in increasing customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, the course had water allocation problems this year and a bush fire two years ago, so the views are affected and the fairways are pretty burned. Due to heat, most of the water was used on the greens to save them but they are soft and slower than normal (think 8-9 not 12). Golf is subject to mother nature and the staff has done their best with top notch service and course maintenance to overcome the damage. Congratulations on well run course - top notch.

John Mason 2023-09-11
Tees / greens were perfect but as expected fairways were disappointing.

Bolton David 2023-09-06
Perfect from arrival to departure

Anthony Seaton 2023-06-23
Good all round experience, worth the visit. A few front 9 greens need some work otherwise great place

Nicolas Neveu 2023-06-10
Everything perfect

Raymond Coy 2023-06-01
The design and lay out of Monte Rei are excellent.The staff were very nice and helpful. However, the condition of parts of the course and some of the greens (rough and bumpy) were certainly below the standards expected of a Jack Nicholas designed course especially for the price you are paying for a round of golf.

Pete Schlicksup 2023-05-31
Great golf course with terrific views.

Gerald Burke 2023-04-24
First class. Everyone was fantastic and helpful. Five stars operation Course was beautiful and fun to play Would come back to play again

Ryan Jones 2023-04-16
An unbelievable place which truly has a special feel! The food in the restaurant was also very good! Wasn’t quite so impressed with some levels of customer service, the dress code for the vistra restaurant was confusing and the staff in one restaurant made things difficult. However, overall, a great experience and one we won’t forget.

Nina 2023-03-07
Perfect condition and a perfect course - just like I remembered it.

Josette Franken 2023-03-06
Friendly people very hospitable. The reservation was known. The course was in good shape even for the time of year. Although I personally find it a bit boring but that could be due to the season. The red tees are not very exciting and it would be nice if ladies could tee off from the silver tee as well. This is possible, of course The clubhouse restaurant ''The Grill'' could do with a facelift. Especially at this time of year when you are inside, it is not really cosy.

Josette Franken 2023-03-06
The red tees are not very exciting if you want to play from silver tees instead it is possible and makes it more interesting.

Michael Hemingway-Rees 2023-03-01
Favourite golf course I have played and I have been around a bit. Service was excellent and the 35 euro for Tapas was good value

Jaroslav Mraz 2023-02-27
fairway around greens is not good

David Askew 2023-02-11
Fantastic layout unfortunately the condition over the years is letting it down The special experience they used to pride themselves on us being reduced each year . Now completely overpriced

Krishna Padayachee 2023-01-30
Superb golf course, a real treat. 5 star all the way, staff are brilliant.

Russell Hamer 2023-01-29
Great course, excellent staff

Les Howard 2023-01-25
Need your A game here . Did not have mine today

Ulrich Fehlmann 2023-01-22
Very difficult; take some extra balls with you

Nick Fry 2023-01-14
Really brilliant except for the fringe/apron around the greens. Plus allowed some appalling people to play today who unfortunately were English and had no etiquette or had handicaps under 40

Stephen Wilson 2023-01-09
Monte Rei may not be the cheapest course to play but it is sheer quality from arrival and the greeting to getting your clubs cleaned at the end of your round, and you couldn’t wish to meet nicer staff. Brilliant day and thank you TeeTimes for your organisation ????

Chae Won Lee 2023-01-03
Good course it was. I want to visit again when the other course, South Course is ready.

BRUNO DE GIULIO 2022-12-28
Beautiful course. Very kind staff. A must to play

Nils Taawo 2022-12-26
Algarves best course, wide fairways, fair greens, great views, nice clubhouse, recommend this course. I will definetly play this corse again ?????????

Steve O'loughlin 2022-11-26
Fantastic again !

Piotr D?browiecki 2022-11-15
Quite nice golf course that reminded me Finca Cortesin in Andalusia. It is a very remote location with a lot of space. The service on the golf course was impeccable.

Colm Friel 2022-11-02
Best golf experience of my life, and all my group felt the same. From the 1st minute on the property until the last, it is obvious that every detail has been thought of and the staff go out of their way to offer help and advice at all times. The course and facilities are fantastic but it is the attitude of the staff that make this experience a must, we will be back.

John Kearns 2022-11-01
Great place to enjoy a days golf , great course and staff and facilities

Matthias Cammann 2022-10-28
It was a great round of golf. Even worth the high amount of money. Perfect service, wonderful course. Unfortunately we had a very slow flight infront of us. So the backnine took us 2 1/2 hours…. This is why I can only give 8 out of 10 points….

Paul Turner 2022-10-13
Marvelous golf course with a splendid clubhouse. If you have not eaten in the 3 days previous to playing take advantage of the biggest and best tapas at Euros 15. The only negative is the pace of play, not far short of 5 hours.

Raoul ANDRE 2022-10-04
Very good golf Thé Best of Tavira

Mr Jonathan Finn 2022-10-03
Great course, every hole is picture perfect. Bunkers need some work.

Pj Courtney 2022-10-03
Excellent course in great condition. Pace of play good and plenty of time between tee time slots.

John Mason 2022-10-03
Wonderful experience

Ian Rowland 2022-09-27
Monte Rei is a fabulous golf course and experience and didn’t disappoint. The last 6 holes especially are stunning. I should add that our plane was delayed by a couple of hours (we played MR on our first day in Portugal) and the staff could not have been more helpful in rearranging our tee time for us.

Mr. Antoniazzi 2022-09-26
Fantastic course, wonderful setting , good food, great service

Peter Michael Maguire 2022-09-20
A fantastic golf course supported by perfect service from the moment you arrive. Expensive, but worth ever penny

Richard McDonnell 2022-09-18
The course, staff and facilities were all excellent

Steve Threader 2022-09-13
Overall was really good. The greens were slower than usual and could have rolled better

Tony Calnan 2022-09-12
Best Golf Experience in Algarve

steve wren 2022-09-12
The best course in Portugal played a few times now never disappointed

Graeme Cox 2022-08-28
Some amazing holes & great customer service throughout. Unfortunately the course wasnt quite in the best of condition but fine.

Lydia Sos 2022-06-14
The golf starter and all their staff are extremely good and well trained.

Colin Dick 2022-05-29
What an amazing experience from start to finish. Give this course a lot of time on your trip to soak up the whole experience. If you can take up the tapas deal well worth it. I will definitely be playing here again.

Jamie Winchester 2022-05-27
Fantastic service and special golf course

Paddy Mc Connell 2022-05-08
Monte Rei experience has gone downhill in my opinion. I prob wouldn’t go back as value for money isn’t there I found after this visit. Our last visit was a much better experience. The pro shop wasn’t stocked with the latest golf apparel. The greens weren’t as good and the box of goodies(tees, pencils, stroke savers) was empty on the first tee. This really annoyed me as this is meant to be the best course in Portugal. Overall I was disappointed.

Junhong Xiao 2022-05-04
The service and facilities at Monte Rei are excellent. It’s worth to experience No.1 golf course in Portugal.

Darren Gatward 2022-04-29
Excellent service and course in great condition, always a privilege to play here????

Harold Daems 2022-04-25
Excellent course. Price 220 euro''s? No.

DAVID AUSTIN 2022-04-21
This is a very good, very challenging golf course. Water comes into play on several holes. If the wind is blowing be prepared and bring a few extra sleeves of balls! There was a terrible wildfire last August, and you can see many of the charred trees and bushes, however many of the trees managed to survive. The fairways were a bit sparse however the greens were in good shape. Nice practice range and the folks who work here are very helpful and friendly.

DAVID AUSTIN 2022-04-21
Very nice hotel and facility. Unfortunately we experienced very windy days, but not much to do about that. Course is in good shape and pro shop staff are very friendly and helpful. Great practice range.

Tracy Scott 2022-04-17
Excellent golf course and superb service. We stayed for tapas after our round of golf and it was excellent. This is definitely a "must play" course in the Algarve.

Simon Potts 2022-04-16
Monte Rei has to be experienced. The service is impeccable from the moment your car is valet parked and your clubs are delivered to your compulsory buggy, to the end as you are treated to a parting gift of an engraved golf bag tag. The course? As one of my fellow players commented: "As you approach every tee, it is like unwrapping a beautiful gift".

Keith Whittemore 2022-04-13
Monte Rei North is a Portugal Golf experience that should not be missed. There is no question why Monte Rei is considered the number one rated course in Portugal. It should not be missed.

Charles Pittock 2022-04-01
From arrival to finish the attention to our experience, by the staff, was outstanding, All 18 holes are well laid out and challenging with great bunkering. Of the courses I have played in the Algarve, Monte Rei is the most expensive and worth every penny.

Dr. Lauermann Andreas 2022-03-25
The best at the Algarve. Also when it is raining.

John Boogaerdt 2022-03-08
Extremely friendly staff and service. We enjoyed the course and the game, could play a round in about 3 hours 10 minutes, well done!,

Mike Hetherington 2022-03-08
A fantastic golf course , deserves all the accolades. Difficult but what the hell...

Franz Miltner 2022-03-07
Perfect service everywhere. Course is definetely overpriced. No green fairways at all. We wonder why they call themselves No. 1 in Portugal we played better ones (f. I. Vale do Lobo ) .

Neil Sutton 2022-03-02
Great customer experience with good staff. Course is very well laid out and a fair test with all hazards visbible. Practise your bunker play before you go! Greens were ok but disappointing given the cost of the course. Greens had been treated recently but even so should have been better.

Ronald Hartley 2022-02-21
Clubhouse: Large and very modern, exceptionally clean and tidy with all the facilities you could need. Prompt, helpful and very polite service. Golf staff: Immediate friendly attention on arrival taking care of golf equipment and explaining protocols. Good explanation of golf facilities and layout. Clubs cleaned after play. Practice area: More than adequate driving range, chipping and putting green. Good quality range balls included in green fee for 1 hour prior to tee time. Golf course: Outstanding setting and layout as with most ‘Nicklaus’ courses , not easy but very fair, reasonable spacing of ‘tee times’ (10 mins) avoiding the impatient record time breaking players (never mind your score - how long did it take?). Greens at date of play not fully recovered from springtime maintenance although very playable. General: Not the easiest course to get to but well worth the effort. Would play it everyday if I could.

David Askew 2022-02-13
Fantastic course clubhouse and staff. Layout one of the best I’ve played . Unfortunately the greens were dreadful

Johannes Halper 2022-01-31
Leider ist der Kurs nicht in den Zustand wie vor zwei Jahren. In den Bunkern wenig Sand , Bunkerkanten nicht sehr gepflegt. 170€ ist er in diesem Zustand nicht wert. Da sind die Quinta do lago Plätze sehr viel besser gepflegt. Unfortunately, the course is not in the condition it was two years ago. Little sand in the bunkers, bunker edges not well maintained. It's not worth €170 in this condition. The Quinta do lago courses are much better maintained.

Nick Fry 2022-01-17
Very good as always

Dan Jiang 2021-12-28
Despite of the fire last summer, the course is in excellent condition. Staffs of the club are so friendly and helpful, it makes you feel like you are playing in your home club. Everyone we came cross were very kind.

David askew 2021-12-07
Course as always in great condition shame about the visional affect the fires have had . The layout is second to none the service in clubhouse and bag drop is brilliant . Unfortunately the abrupt attitude of the course tanger was very disappointing and totally unnecessary and his timings totally wrong

Ian Gorham 2021-11-17
Top quality golf course.

Richard Keeling 2021-11-17
Best course in Portugal by far. Fantastic customer service coupled with an exquisite course! Just stay away from the bunkers, they are deep! ???? not the cheapest but well worth the outlay!

Eamonn Lynch 2021-11-06
Spectacular and staff friendly and cooperative. I was playing on my own and the ranger and other players were so courteous in allowing me play through. It still ranks top of my list for a golf and catering experience.

Carl Johan Plymouth 2021-11-04
Excellent - made up for somewhat slow greens with the subsidised discount on food and beverage

Dr Gudrun Liebing-Lohr 2021-10-22
many slow people---but the Caddymaster organized that we could go faster--The greens have been qite slow. We got a credit of 20 Euros because so much was burned and therefore the good view was influenced. Dr.Gudrun Liebing-Löhr

Sanford Simpson 2021-10-20
Enjoyable day with good golf course and hospitality

Lauermann Andreas 2021-10-18
Fantastic course. Absolutely a must. The surrounding suffered from the fire but the course is in perfect condition

Maurice Lynch 2021-10-18
Very good service and the course despite the recent fire was in fantastic condition. We cant wait to get bach next year.

Peter Chloupek 2021-10-17
An amazing experience, from the staff to the 19th hole. Yes it is expensive but worth every penny. A true golfing experience.

Peter John Tholen 2021-09-29
Beautiful layout, exceptional staff, great practice facilities, despite canyon fires 14 days before the course was in great condition. The green had some damage due embers but it didn't effect the playability. The Monte Rei experience is well worth the drive.

Philip Kucharski 2021-09-27
Beautiful course with lovely holes. Pity that the forest fires have damaged some of the lively views !

Gerrit Goor 2021-09-23
Fantastic Bad Luck we could not drive on the fairways with the buggy Negativ: The prices for food and drinks on the Buggy Bar Incredible expensive, felt like robber

Bertin Pietsch 2021-09-11
Green fee is currently overpriced because it burned on the square. the surrounding area is charred.

Tony Calnan 2021-08-25
Golf was very good. Unfortunate for the course that they have some holes damaged by a wild fire. They expect this to be green again in spring time

David Whalley 2021-07-21
Unbelievable Course and we were really looked after. Awesome

Kenneth Barnes 2020-03-12
Enjoyed the excellent condition of course and bunkers. Were easy to play out of. Greens not perfect but very puttable. Pace of play, service, quality of luncheon food was excellent.

Dermot Hanafin 2020-02-29
Quality and professionalism from all the staff.

Andrew Millership 2020-02-27
First class experience from the moment you arrive. Friendly, helpful, professional, great practice facilities and a lovely golf course. This is exactly how a golf operation should be run.

Robert Karlson 2020-02-25
Superb course and first class management. Impossible to fault and a world class golf facility. A must visit for any golfer traveling to the Algarve. Five stars!

Claudia Kirchfeld 2020-02-05
As wonderful as ever. The whole experience is just perfect

Halper Johannes 2020-02-03
The Service was perfect The Course was in good condition

Nick Fry 2020-01-18
Wonderful

RERAU 2020-01-07
This golf course is wonderful. The fairways and thé greens are of high quality. All the staff are very welcoming and warm I had à great time and I would recommend this golf course

John 2019-12-29
An excellent course. Well worth the trip from Vilamoura. Exceptional service and friendly staff

Gary Hudson 2019-12-11
Excellent course. Greens very fast and tees in good condition Staff were very helpful and attentive.

Mary Strutt 2019-11-19
A superb course just wish we had played it first! ( would have had more energy)! And a fabulous service provided by Monte Rei

Natalie Redková 2019-11-18
Fantastic golf course

Tibor Mlynka 2019-11-15
dry fairways, inadequate price to the quality of the course

Nigel Lucas 2019-11-12
Always an experience playing Monte Rei.....great staff, great course, all the extra touches make it a special day....even alignment sticks on the range now too. Greens not quite as fast as normal, but still true as ever.

Henry Nash 2019-11-11
probably the best experience of hospitality and quality golf course.

Tony Calnan 2019-10-31
First class course. Great ambiance in club house and with course staff. Extremely enjoyable

Jane Sheppard 2019-10-28
Excellent from the time you arrive to the time you leave

phil townsend 2019-10-18
Excellent day, spoiled a little by multiple unprepared pitch marks and unrated bunkers from groups in front

Vincent 2019-10-02
Perfect course, excellent service. Totally o.k.

James brooks 2019-09-25
Great experience. Golf course and setting outstanding.

Graham Johnson 2019-09-17
Very well looked after. Staff polite and friendly. Get what you pay for.

Billy Duncan 2019-09-11
Great Course in very Good Condition

William Townson 2019-09-06
What can be said of this premier establishment...service is the key to selling golf here. The course is true challenge with some unique holes from the great Jack Niclaus. Valet parking, shown around clubhouse, given a souvenir key ring, taken to the range, chipping and putting green, collected by the starter. Given yardage book, card pencils, water, etc. Buggy set up to yards, of we go. Always someone checking on you, food, etc. Cold towel lovely touch on back nine. Best bit is being presented with an engraved bag tag as you walk of the last green. It’s the attention to detail that makes the difference!

Véronique Gantoy 2019-09-04
Accueil impeccable. Parcours magnifique.

Paul Mustoe 2019-07-28
Great experience all round. Staff all exceptionally friendly and attentive. I understand it was a quiet day but it felt like we were virtually the only ones there. Only us and another 2 guys on the range, which was of good quality along with the short game practice area, and then only saw one other group on the course. I like the 12 min tee slots and no pairing up. Makes the whole round very relaxing. Course immaculate and both challenging but also playable! Whilst expensive, with buggy and range balls included, I would recommend it.

Franco Piergiovanni 2019-06-21
The best course in Algarve. A little bit too far to drive.

Gareth Toms 2019-06-10
Absolutely magnificent

Tony Abbott 2019-05-30
Simply the best on the Algarve . The staff are excellent the course is very challenging and in excellent condition. You always feel like you are the only people on the golf course. In a class of its own. Expensive but the Tapas deal is very good value for money when you consider you get an 8 course meal included . Practice area is fantastic we love it !!

Paul Haran 2019-05-22
Perfect course, perfect golf experience wonderful staff

Penny Barratt 2019-05-21
Wonderful

Greg Reynolds 2019-05-06
A superb golf course and a great service from staff. The complete golf day from start to finish. Highly recommend to every golfer.

Darren Gatward 2019-05-02
Stunning course & all the facilities are 1st class

Lester Speer 2019-05-02
Too expensive for a round of golf

Stuart young 2019-04-20
If there was and 11 we would give it that

Mrs Teresa Gaughan 2019-04-17
Monte Rei was the icing on the cake of 5 days of golf at 5 different courses. From arrival to departure it was a superb experience - staff, facilities and the course were exceptional. Only the weather could have been better but it couldn't dampen our spirits!

Dave Abbott 2019-04-15
Words fail me how good this place is. Simply brilliant

Hofstra 2019-04-06
What a great, with capital G, experience

WINKELMANN Brigitte 2019-02-24
Our No 1 in Portugal. Quiet, very friendly staff. Greens are very fast; course in a good condition. You almost never see the other players; no direct sight from one hole to the other.

Acacio do Carmo 2019-02-14
A jouer absolument. Le monte Rei mérite son titre de plus beau golf du Portugal

Richard Sunderland 2019-01-28
First Class, special place and fantastic customer service. Tremendous course, you feel like you are the only people on the course, the way holes are designed in almost their own valley.

Nick Fry 2019-01-20
Excellent experience including hospitality of staff. Course immaculate. Greens fast & true

Andrew Watson 2018-11-19
Service was excellent. Course was interesting although it relied on water rather than natural terrain which is a feature of courses designed by Jack Nicklaus. It was an excellent venue although I personally feel that there are better courses in Portugal

Mikko Raunio 2018-11-15
Best golf course in Portugal - WAU many times

Andrew Collings 2018-11-09
We all really enjoyed played Monte Rei; by some way, the best course of the week. My fourth visit to Monte Rei and as usual excellent service and the course was in good condition. A very good day indeed.

Adrian Thorogood 2018-10-29
Despite strong, high winds the course was in perfect condition and you are treated as royalty. The best thing is not having to wait on each tee, which is the case on many of the Algarve's overcrowded courses.

Peter Elliot 2018-10-20
My third time here and I love the whole experience. Good design that allows every golfer no matter what handicap to enjoy the course. Don't be too ambitious with your choice of tee. All the staff are polite, helpful, and always smile.

Philip Halpenny 2018-05-17
Loved it. Luckily, played well so very happy. Difficult for high handicapapers, especiall off gold tees. Wonderful reception from all staff, from front of house to gardeners on entry road.

In all aspects apart from 1, Monte Rei was a fantastic experience. The Staff were all excellent and we were made to feel special which is important considering the price tag! The course was in excellent condition. A truly memorable day. However we had an issue with our breakfast which I will communicate directly to Monte Rei.

Michael Fahy 2018-05-12

It is the best golf course I've played. Each hole is brilliantly designed. I can't find fault if I tried. Monte Rei is a must for any golfer who loves the game, fantastic course and facilities. Brilliantly looked after before, during and afterwards. I'll be back!

Klaus-Dieter Feldmann 2018-02-23
Even the course was quite dry conditions good. Very friendly welcome and staff everywhere. As the group of four player often with pressure from the back from single or two players. But without difficulties. Overall that was not a busy day.

Wolfgang Spreitzer 2017-10-28
Everything just perfect. Fantastic golfcourse in pure tranquility. Hole 13 is one of the best golfholes in the world!

Jack Nicklaus 2017-10-25
I believe it was 1989 when I made my first trip to Portugal to see this rugged piece of land in the Eastern Algarve. At that time, I immediately recognized the potential for us to design an extraordinary golf course. We had wonderful cooperation and support from the ownership of Monte Rei, because everyone shared a vision-one connected by a goal of achieving the highest level of quality and excellence.

Fantastic course. Very welcoming and helpful staff and a truly fantastic course.

Darren Howlett 2017-07-03
Fantastic experience, from the minute you arrive and are made to feel welcome, to the pre round introduction, complimentary range balls, 12 minute tee times, the amazing course itself with some stunning holes to the personalised gift at the end. Expensive but a great experience.

Neil Rodgerson 2017-06-10
Fantastic experience from pulling up at the clubhouse to leaving. Best course anywhere I have played. Great value at 150euros. 220 is too expensive for me.

Paul Pheby 2017-05-24
6 star service unrivalled anywhere in I've played in Europe. Truly sublime course. I have played many and this is the best of them all!

Martin Gallagher 2017-02-21
Unfortunately the weather was bad - we were forced off the course because of heavy rain Thunder and Lightning, having completed just 1 hole

Paul Dickinson 2017-02-02

Phil Clements 2016-09-22
Absolutely first class. Could not fault it.

Tom Darcy 2016-09-15
Best Course but greens were hollow tined

John Graham 2016-09-12
the golf course was amazing , the staff made us feel welcome and they could not do enough for you. when you consider the cost of the game for the day it is not really that expensive when you consider the experience , buggies ,driving range and tapas lunch .

Tony Abbot 2016-08-05
By far the best gold course in the Algarve I love it. The whole experience staff are very courteous, the food is good too. Would love to see more offers from them as Monte is very expensive. Perhaps a bigger discount if you play it twice or something? I love the early ticket before 9.30am where you get Tapas included. This is very good indeed.

Franco Di Fonzo 2016-07-06
Monte Rei is unique. Played three times and is always the best course of Algarve

Nicholas Kjelgaard 2016-06-26
A great experience, there was a VIP group playing in front who stopped for lunch after nine which meant we had to weight, however the course provided us with a free drink to compensate. The course is great the service exceptional and very much worth doing this once.

Peter Grant 2016-04-16
Excellent course but very expensive

Paddy Duffy 2016-03-15
Monte Rei was superb and service outstanding. We will definitely return. Course was excellent and the 12 minute time gaps is very comfortable. Everyone was very welcoming and we appreciated all the attention to detail.

Alan Crooks 2016-02-08

Fabulous course. It deserves the price

best course in eastern portugal by a long way.

Chez Carlos Golf Society 2012-10-04
This week, with the start of the Ryder Cup 2012, we were that much more inspired and so we played on the Sunday to be able to go back and watch the singles competition. We played at Salgados Golf Course, just north of Albufeira, set in a beautiful nature reserve by the sea. An ensemble of 15 players gathered under the beautiful Algarve skyes, the perfect conditions to golf in. As you may know, Salgados golf course is rather tricky when the coastal winds pick up. The course was in great shape with impecable fairways and greens - the rough, which was quite deep and punished at times a wayward shot. We played in the morning and the course was rather quiet, which allowed us to get around in a reasonable time. A great sightseeing course, populated by a vast number of migratory bird species that often come to watch you play.

Paul Brown (England) 2010-09-05
This is the second time i have played Monte Rei The experience just gets better without doubt the most beautiful course I have ever played Every hole is a signature hole The course is always in perfect manicured condition And the staff the most helpful i have ever come across They say you pay for what you get but this course is worth every Euro paid Play it you will not be disappointed
