San Lourenco is a par 72 golf course located in Quinta do Lago and is considered one of the best and most beautiful golf courses in Europe. The fact that this is an award-winning golf course is no coincidence. Bordering with the breathtaking Ria Formosa Natural Park, some of its golf holes are blessed with what can only be described as exquisite beauty. If the first holes of San Lourenco golf course present no major surprise or challenges, after the 3rd, closer to the estuary, San Lourenco golf course starts to reveal itself. After the 5th hole, a par-3 and the course's shortest, you're introduced to a dogleg, stroke 1 sixth hole where your main challenge will be to avoid the dense shrub, so make sure you get your distances just right. As you get to the 7th, life is by no chance made easier but you still get the bonus of the outstanding views from this elevated tee before you have to focus on how to get around that green almost entirely surrounded by water. On the back nine, the 12th is the most challenging hole on San Lourenco, featuring a deep chasm along the left of a very narrow fairway. Holes 13th to 16th also face the ocean with the latter proving to be the most demanding par-3, featuring a whole 180 m carry to a shallow green. Seventeenth is, again, extremely beautiful but still falls short of the beauty that awaits you on the last hole. It is a great finale and one that will remain in your memory as it has an excellence that is renowned worldwide. It is, without a doubt, a course for special occasions, that will provide you with unforgettable beautiful moments. Of course such a unique golf course had to have unique requirements concerning the booking of your green fees and that is only possible if you are a guest at the 5 star Dona Filipa Hotel nearby or by contacting a selected few like Tee Times Golf Agency who will make the required arrangements to book what will be one of the most special games of golf you will ever play in your life.

People were polite and helpful, the course in reasonably good conditions but the cart paths are terrible and detract from the overall experience. No club is ridiculous in this day and age, ownership should be ashamed. Purely for the golf it is a worthwhile experience.

What a great golf course with some truly amazing holes. This will definitely be one to remember the greens were amazing and very fast. It’s a shame about the clubhouse and I’m sure they’ll get this sorted soon but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back to play this course again in the future.

San Lorenzo was a great test of golf today. The reception staff were warm with there welcome and the complimentary pack up as the clubhouse is a temporary one was well received. The course was in good condition and the greens were fast and true. We will come back as long as the green fee does not become overpriced.

Really enjoyed the course layout. Sadly the slow play of groups in front prevented us from completing our round as we ran out of daylight. Maybe tee times should not be sold at 13:00 on 9 November? Despite the slow play we enjoyed the course and would not hesitate to return.

Although this course is a little rough around the edges (damaged cart paths, temporary clubhouse, some damage to greens), it’s a great layout, surrounded by beautiful homes and the sea (!!!), the people are very nice (providing us with complimentary home made sandwiches, water and energy bar), and it’s great fun + 4hr pace of play.

A lovely golf course with no one on it, the lack of a club house apparently puts people off. Would definitely recommend it.
