Great layout, greens excellent, but Wild Boar damage around the greens and fairways needs to be addressed daily.
Most bunkers also need some attention as the sand was very compacted, may be the rain but some hadn't been raked for a long time.
Staff were excellent, and because it's a bit out of the way it's never very busy.
Would recommend a visit here

Wenn jemand im Großraum Lissabon Golfurlab macht, und keine „gehobenen“ Ansprüche an eine Golfanlage hat, und völlig entspannt spielen möchte, der ist hier bestens aufgehoben. In der Wochen ist der Platz praktisch leer. Heute Startzeit 11:30 Uhr. Anhand der geparkten Autos vor dem Sekretariat schätze ich das es etwa 5 Flights unterwegs waren. Auf zwei 18 Loch Plätzen. Wir kommen seid 2007 hier her. Es ist immer leer.
Fairways sehr breit und gut gepflegt (Nachsatz folgt). Die Grüns ebenfalls groß und im top Zustand.
Mann hat das Gefühl allein auf dem Platz zu sein.
Die Bunker könnten neue Füllung vertragen.
Nachsatz:
Nachts spielen ab und zu Wildschweine Golf auf dem Platz. Leider vergessen Sie die Divots zurückzulegen.
Die Greenkeeper tun aber Ihr bestes.

If you're on a golf holiday in the greater Lisbon area and don't have any "high" expectations of a golf course and want to play in a completely relaxed manner, this is the place for you. The course is practically empty during the week. Today's start time is 11.30 am. Judging by the cars parked in front of the secretary's office, I estimate that there were about 5 flights on the course. On two 18-hole courses. We've been coming here since 2007. It's always empty.
Fairways very wide and well maintained (postscript to follow). The greens are also large and in top condition.
You have the feeling of being alone on the course.
The bunkers could do with filling.
Postscript:
At night, wild boars occasionally play golf on the course. Unfortunately, they forget to put the divots back.
But the greenkeepers do their best.

Der Platz wer in einem guten Zustand. Die Grüns schnell. Die Bunker gut. Die Fairways waren sehr „flauschig“. Mann ist hervorragend beim Schlagen unter den Ball gekommen. Das der Platz etwas abseits liegt, wird er nicht so frequentiert. Das hat aber den Vorteil, man spielt völlig ohne auf jemanden Rücksicht nehmen zu müssen. Wir spielen Ribagolfe 1 noch mal Ribagolfe 2 auch und freuen uns schon darauf. -**- The course was in good condition. The greens are fast. The bunkers good. The fairways were very ''fluffy''. It was easy to get under the ball when hitting the ball. The course is a bit off the beaten track, so it is not so busy. But that has the advantage that you can play without having to take anyone into consideration. We play Ribagolfe 1 again Ribagolfe 2 too and are looking forward to it.

Very friendly staff. Layout of the course very interessting, hard to play when wet (as it was on 19/10/2022). Follow the signs and not the GPS!

Course was unkept, fairways very very poor, we played placing on fairways. Greens where immaculate and quick. Has a look of suffering from lack of money due to covid. The Oaks course was in very good nick.

First time playing Riba Lakes and was hugely impressed with the course design. Although it was a little less manicured than Praia del Rey or West Cliffs the greens were still good and we all really enjoyed it. The lower green fee was compensation for there being no clubhouse. I will certainly return next time I go to Portugal.

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when I played Ribagolf 1 and fully enjoyed it. The course is well maintained and challenging. The greens were perfect and also a challenge. I found the accommodation and facilities simple. And don’t forget to bring your water etc., there is none on the course!

I am becoming concerned by the condition of this golf course, which has deteriorated markedly over the last two years. This year we saw extensive damage from wild boar activity and most of the early fairways were waterlogged, even though there had been virtually no rain in the weeks preceding our visit. This is all a great shame, as underneath this there is a fantastic golf course design, which would stand against anything if only some investment was made in the course. The staff are also unfailingly helpful and friendly. Sadly this has the feel of a course in terminal decline. We would think hard before returning next time.

Nice course. Quite long, but reasonably forgiving. Back 9 involves a few really good holes with water hazards. Slightly weird set up with the clubhouse a 10 minute drive from the courses. Clubhouse very welcoming and friendly and good food.

Excellent service by you and the course and people were extremely good

Clubhouse is far away from the actual golf course and the atmosphere around the course is not worth a higher rating. But the golf course itself is well worth the money. Price/course rating for me is a 10, for the price of nearly half that of other courses in the Lisbon area you get nearly perfect greens and very good fairways. Definitely worth a visit once more.

I have given 'Riba' a 10 star rating mainly as a consequence of an outstanding act of customer service. One of our group left two golf jackets and a pair of expensive sunglasses in his golf buggy after finishing his round. The following day I received a call from the reception staff at 'Riba', not only to confirm all the items had been found, but also that they would be delivered to the course we were playing the following day. Sure enough, when we arrived at Quinta do Peru all of the items were there waiting for us. Very impressive.
Aside from that, the course was also in very good condition and offered a stern test of golf for all of us.

The course was generally in good condition; although in parts was quite badly damaged from the grazing of wild boar in the area. It is very long and challenging, so probably best suited to lower handicap golfers. For others, playing from the blue tees would be an easier option. Facilities at this course are very limited, which we knew before we played. This would, however, deter some people.
The big disappointment for us was the unavailability of golf buggies, which we had reserved for the day. As a consequence of this we had to walk the course in very hot weather, which spoilt the experience for some members of our group. For most people buggies would be essential on this course.
Staff in the otherwise modest 'clubhouse' were extremely helpful.

A good course and friendly helpful staff.
The overall condition of tees, greens etc were a little disappointing. At times it appeared a little scruffy and neglected.
Need a little TLC.

Platz liegt neben Militär Basis. Viele. Jetflüge, sehr laut.
Clubhaus über einen Kilometer entfernt. Wir waren mittwochs die einzigen Spieler dort. Riba Golf 1 hat uns qua Platz und Spiel nicht begeistert.

Again the golf reception and the clubhouse staff were very friendly and helpful.
The course was very enjoyable, and the greens were very good, although the bunkers were very poor

The course was suffering from wild boar having damaged certain areas but we still had a great day. The lady on reception was great and very helpful.

A very demanding golf course, which we enjoyed enormously. Might be a little too testing for higher handicaps, but Ribagolfe 2 offers an easier alternative. The course is very remote and there is little in the way of local infrastructure. We saw only two other people playing the day we were there. The clubhouse is very basic, and quite a long drive from the practice area and first tees. The course itself, however, was in terrific condition. Worth a visit in our view

Excellent course, but the clubhouse with all facilities are to fare a way from the caddy house, frist tee and the practice area

The weakest of the courses we played, clubhouse situation bizarre. Some decent holes on the back nine but overall a disappointing experience.

Very nice golf course. With the many cork oak trees along the fairways and plenty of nature a special one (at least during this time of the year). Good eating to reasonable prices at the club restaurant

Little wet fairways but nice course. Just a little faraway club house with refreshment and reception. Approximately 3km between clubhouse and caddymaster.
