San Lorenzo Golf Course - latest comments and reviews

Jonathan Mortimer 2024-09-25
A lovely golf course with no one on it, the lack of a club house apparently puts people off. Would definitely recommend it.

MICHAEL KIRBY 2024-09-20
Excellent layout and condition ok. Shame the clubhouse hasn’t been rebuilt yet. Course staff looked after us though and delivered a packed lunch to the course to us.

Ivan Taylor 2024-09-13
Challenging golf course in very good condition considering the dry summer. Cart paths in need of attention. Very friendly staff but obviously facilities are limited due to the clubhouse fire. Definitely a course to return to in the future.

Donald Reid 2024-09-07
Really disappointing. Clubhouse burned down so relying on temporary facilities which is fair enough. However, no one seemed very interested when we were checking in, range was average, course itself was showing signs of ageing and nowhere near the level expected for the green fee. Be prepared to dodge the potholes and bumps on the cartpaths!! Buggies had no GPS. The course layout remains really strong but sadly let down by the condition overall - needs serious investment.

Paddy Whitfield 2024-09-04
Course in tip top condition. 18th hole one of the most difficult to negotiate. Shame that the clubhouse has not yet been rebuilt, but the fact that payment includes hire of buggy plus packed lunch is suitable compensation. San Lorenzo does not get the same acclaim as courses at Quinta Do Lago and Val de Lobo but in my opinion is very much equal to them.

Andrew Rankin 2024-09-01
Staff are friendly and helpful. The course is tired and a majority of pathways need repairing - in value terms the green fees are expensive. Otherwise the area is beautiful and there is much potential.

Ian Gorham 2024-08-17
Generally lovely course. Always has been. But it needs investment in places. No rakes in many bunkers - which is silly. Staff said the course "couldn't afford them!". Some scruffy rough and tees. Greens were OK though. The free lunch in a bag was nice but I'd rather have rakes in bunkers...!

Jim Douglas 2024-08-14
Loved the course, in need of a little maintenance but great set up. Club house to be rebuilt so no comment at this stage on facilities

Gianni Munday 2024-08-13
Lovely course, some very special holes & well looked after by the staff there, plus as a bonus, was nice & quiet, so got around very quickly!

Hans Peddemors 2024-08-12
I know the course, is always a great experience to play there

Tamina Kreyenhop 2024-07-29
Very nice staff, wonderful golfcourse, unfortunately the clubhouse burned down - so there are no facilities.

John Dempster 2024-07-08
A fabulous golf course slightly let down by the state of the buggy paths and the fact that the club house burnt down. Needs a little tlc but in our opinion this course has the best layout in the Algarve

Haaye de jong 2024-07-07
best layout - like always they could do a bit more on the maintenance

Nick Dalgarno 2024-07-05
San Lorenzo is probably my favourite course in the Algarve and despite the lack of clubhouse the staff were the friendliest anywhere and nice touch with the lunch bag. However, it is not in as good condition as it was when I last played it about 10 years ago and is in need of some investment and tlc. Some scruffy parts on the course and paths etc far from pristine. Buggies don’t have GPS and not enough sprinkler/yardage markers. I would hate to see it go the same way as Penina did some years ago as it is too good to be under-invested

Caroline Mahony 2024-06-30
Really enjoyed my round at San Lorenzo. It’s a top notch course with really helpful staff. Thanks to Luiz & all others. From Teeboxes to greens the course was in great condition. It has the nicest scenery in Quinta, taking in the wetlands. Only small issue I have are the position of the trees on the Ladies 3rd teebox. I hope all goes well with re-build of the club house. The temporary bar is perfect in the meantime and the complimentary lunch bag was most appreciated.

Carole Drury 2024-06-21
Good course although buggy paths need major repair. No club house at present but complementary bag of sandwiches etc provided

Jon Cofield 2024-06-11
The layout of the golf course is second to none as each hole is different and a challenge for any level of golfer. It is a shame the clubhouse was a victim of fire but the staff try so hard to be welcoming with a packed lunch and portacabin bar drinks station. For those who have played the course over several years it is not maintained to the same level. It is however in decent condition and well worth a visit.

Michael Webber 2024-06-04
A little untidy, but interesting course. Good service, but lack of club house is a downside. Also cart paths need sorting!

Stephen Stratton 2024-05-30
San Lorenzo is in very poor condition especially the front 9 and not worth the premium price being charged. When we played there in December last year it was excellent but has deteriorated badly in the last 6 months.

Paul Turner 2024-05-28
Tees and surrounds require attention but fabulous lay out

Mark Stevens 2024-05-25
We had a fantastic day

Scott Couper 2024-04-27
Great course needs work

Ernst Gordijn 2024-04-27
We liked the course good quality, we get lunch pakket as compensation because there was no clubhouse, it was destroyed by fire,but the people were very friendly

Joe Dowling 2024-04-26
Good course, some great holes, staff excellent..pity about path ways , and lack of clubhouse due to fire

Michael Quinlan 2024-04-20
Course is beautiful!

Sarah Smith 2024-04-02
Course itself was not in great shape The facilities at the club we were made aware of and staff we apologetic

James Sutherland 2024-04-01
Love San Lorenzo. Seen it in better condition but also worse. Staff were excellent.

Anne Smith 2024-03-31
Great staff - lunch was a bonus that wasn’t offered in September

Frances Trowell 2024-03-28
Course facilities could be better maintained. Not the course itself but the paths are in part terrible and difficult in a buggy

Greg Lewis 2024-03-25
club house is gone and although there are still limited facilities and the staff were very helpful. we are paying alot of money and should be informed that they don't have a clubs house, there is one working toilet and limited facilities. Course design is v good and it should be one of the best courses around but there is a lack of maintenance and general upkeep compared to the other courses in the area. We've played this before and it was the same case a couple of years ago. the level of upkeep has fallen over the years but the price has stayed the same so I would be going to one of the other courses next time. Still an enjoyable game of golf if you can't get out elsewhere.

Jamie Winchester 2024-03-17
Poor condition. Extremely slow pace. Gave up after 8 holes. Not worth the money

Gerhard Wittmann 2024-03-05
Ein sehr schöner und abwechslungsreicher Kurs. Sehr schöne risk und reward Löcher.A very beautiful and varied course. Very nice risk and reward holes. Definitely worth playing here more often. Auf jedenfall Wert hier öfter zu spielen. -**-

Gordon 2024-03-02
Very pleasant and helpful staff although play was rather play

William Waddington 2024-02-19
Course in good order. Staff friendly. Speed of play was good. One of the best courses in the Algarve

Bruce thompson 2024-02-13
Welcoming reception, lovely course. Greens good, some tees and paths need attention.

Nick Fry 2024-02-11
Course in great condition despite the weather. Received a complimentary lunch pack - nice touch. Staff great. Very impressed

Ben Sturman 2024-02-07
Great course, cart paths need to be renewed as very uneven

Gillian Dawson 2024-02-06
Course is not in the best condition. We did know before playing that there was only a temporary clubhouse but were a bit surprised to be given a packed lunch. This could have been useful if we had known in advance because we had our own food with us. We suspect that most people visiting would prefer the green fees to be more realistic for the current course conditions though we do recognise they are lower than a few years ago. There were only a few people on the course. Unfortunately the 4 ball in front of us would not let us through so we waited on every shot.

Ole Strassburg 2024-01-30
We enjoyed the course but there could have been an information that the clubhouse has burned down and there are no showers available.

Henk Tunen 2024-01-21
Wij kwamen aan, en de receptie en waar je wat kunt drinken, is ondergebracht in portocabins. Dat is nergens vermeld of aangegeven..... Als compensatie een lunchpakket voor onderweg maar ik had het liever eerder geweten. Volgens TeeTimes kon ik de buggy cash afrekenen op de course, maar dat kon alleen met een kaart..... Verder een prima golfdag gehad. De baan lag er goed bij en het was mooi weer! -**- We arrived, and the reception and where to have a drink is housed in portocabins. This was not mentioned or indicated anywhere..... As compensation, a packed lunch for the road but I would have preferred to know earlier. According to TeeTimes, I could pay for the buggy in cash on the course, but that was only possible with a card..... Otherwise, I had a fine day of golf. The course was in good shape and the weather was nice!

Eric Segers 2023-12-09
Very nice views ,good holes and greens,but expensive and terrible buggypaths.

Wilfried Schreiber 2023-12-05
Top Pflegezustand und sehr interessantes Layout. -**- Top condition and very interesting layout

Claudio Monaci 2023-12-04
It’s always a pleasure to play in San Lorenzo.

M. Mrs. Geist 2023-11-24
Great course conditions. Of course it is unfortunate that the club house burned down

Bert Ulrich 2023-11-18
Great course, friendly staff

Bert Ulrich 2023-11-13
Great Course, poor Range

Christopher Brighton 2023-11-11
The course and views are as good as ever. We played early and pretty much had the course to ourselves. The lack of a clubhouse did not really affect our experience, we simply drove over to the Quunt do Lago clubhouse which is only a mile or two away and had lunch there. Our only issue was the mosquitoes at that time in the morning, we both came back with at least 20 bites which did detract from our enjoyment. Top tip if playing early take plenty of repellant! They do sell it in the shop but didn't warn us pre round...

Andrew Finnie 2023-11-07
Dreadful…. 6 hours for 18 holes of golf,most people complained and we got little answers or respect when we complained… No stewards on course a total disgrace and we will not play this course again. We were held up every single shot….

Robin Butler 2023-10-23
Course in better condition than for some time. However, very crowded and slow. We gave up at the end of the 17th as there were 3 groups waiting to tee off on the 18th. There is no real enforcement of letting 2 balls through or ensuring no slow play

Brigitte Müller 2023-10-22
Club house is really very, very poor for a club with this renomé, it is a very poor performance. Nowadays, there are so many possibilités to put an infrastructure in place for a short periode for very little money. We were very surprised that this club does not make a bigger effort to offer something nice. Also the path for the buggies are in a very very poor condition. What a shame for this beautiful course.

Tom Cuttill 2023-10-21
Greens were not good. Experience spoiled as a result of the fire.

Nina Brouwer 2023-10-20
Practice area is very poor, friendly to play golfcourse, drinks etc./terras missed opportunity.

Robert Angell 2023-10-15
We have played San Lorenzo a number of times, what a great layout, but the condition of the course was the worst we have seen it. It will need to improve substantially if we will play it again.

Andrew Finnie 2023-10-14
Opening holes 10,11 AND 12 and buggies not in great condition not what you would expect of a 5 star course. I realise clubhouse etc has issues but this should be reflected in current green fees.

Andrew Chambers 2023-10-13
Very poor quality presentation of the course - greens like furry carpets. No course marshalling led to a very long, slow round. We have dropped this from future tours

Steve Richmond 2023-10-13
An excellently designed golf course with some great holes, and was in a good condition. There was a big problem with the condition of the buggy paths which are in need of some serious maintenance carrying out. Also, the fact there was no clubhouse due to the fire created an issue. The temporary facilities were very poor and need to be increased significantly.

Chris Loynes 2023-10-09
The course is in better condition than we’ve previously experienced. The service is better too. Obviously a club house would be better but we have never eaten there as it has been a poor service for years and years and years. Overall I’d say it’s better for us than the past but needs to improve further. If we had been able to book QDL north or south we would have !

Lee Woodward 2023-10-07
I know this is a view that is universally held because I hear it all the time - everywhere. It’s a golfing tragedy what is happening with San Lorenzo. A magnificent piece of golfing architecture that is going to rack and ruin. Poor tee, fairway and greens. Almost unplayable numbers. Buggies are terrible and cart paths really poor. What an absolute shame.

Antti Suhonen 2023-10-06
Fortunately I got a reduced green fee (twilight) as paying the rack rate for San Lorenzo in its present state would be a serious waste of money. While the course has some spectacular holes by the shore, it is generally in poor condition with the worst greens I've seen during six rounds in Algarve. The bunkers also lack sand and rakes, and many fairways have large bare patches. The clubhouse has burned down so it would be unfair to comment on facilities.

Keith Thomson 2023-10-06
Great course but not to tell customers that there is no clubhouse is a disgrace! €166 for a round of golf with changing facilities, no bathrooms, no food facilities etc. You cant charge golfers this amount and not have the basic facilities or worse than that not even tell customers of the current situation. Not impressed!

Philip Halpenny 2023-10-04
Very disappointing. Fairways poor, bunkers like cement, greens spongy and slow, calcada cart paths seriously dangerous. No facilities yet still charging same high green fees. Bad reputation and publicity will certainly adversely affect green fee income going forward. So sad to see such a magnificent golf course going to rack and ruin.

Hermien Creger 2023-10-02
Club house burning down is a factor, but made check in and start of play chaotic and disorganized. No range balls to practice.

Andrew Crofts 2023-09-29
The course was in very poor condition , especially the greens which were dreadful.

Anne Henderson 2023-09-23
Lovely morning at San Lorenzo - we were a 2 ball and the staff allowed us out earlier than our 804 time which was perfect. Very helpful staff and enjoyed the course.

Roger Murphy 2023-09-18
Greens supposed to have been "immaculate" were actually really poor, no care taken with bunkers. Never a 120 euro golf course

Adam Farrer 2023-09-17
All round very disappointing, the course was in poor condition. The greens were slow and bumpy. The buggy paths were terrible, so uneven that everyone was driving to the side of the paths. Overall the course was tired and in need of a big investment to bring it up to the standard you would expect for the green fee charged. At the end of the round the staff did not ask if we had a good round. We had been to Monte Rei for a couple of days before this game and the contrast was striking. Every aspect of San Lorenzo fell miles short of the Monte Rei standards of excellence. I will take some persuading to go back to San Lorenzo.

Peter Tipping 2023-09-04
The golf course is excellent good test a bit tatty in places paths etc but it is the golf course which stands out

Richard MacMillan 2023-08-09
Ok but for a long time San Lorenzo has needed a lot of maintenance to bring it up to standard.

John Hancock 2023-08-07
Loved the course, in great condition and a proper test of golf. Very friendly staff

neil martin 2023-07-05
Lovely course, but tough for beginners. Clubhouse has burned down so just a simple portacabin for drinks. No food though

Richard Hunt 2023-06-06
Very good.

Brian Hickey 2023-05-28
Not enough staff present on arrival in pro shop and to arrange buggies

Guy Orban 2023-05-14
Very nice layout but no strokesaver, so at certain holes we did not know where to drive. Greens were fine but fairways missed a bit of grass so we used preferred lies rule. Pace of play was fine until the last four holes when we were held up by games in front and no marshal control But these are small points as the course is in very nice settings and staff friendly

Richard Sanderson 2023-05-13
top class

Richard Sanderson 2023-05-09
Excellent in every way

Richard Moore 2023-05-09
The golf course is excellent and the staff were very good. The club house is traditional and whilst the bar, the terrace and the pro shop are all very good, the changing facilities need to be updated.

Per Lokken 2023-04-26
Maintanance no good

Simon Potts 2023-04-22
The course is a great design but seemed very tired and unkempt. we played from 10th. The first 5-6 holes had fluffy fairways. The buggy paths in particular were very very bumpy and ill maintained. The 17th (our 8th) onwards however were much better with some beautiful hols and the fairways seemed much better.

Rob Gibson 2023-04-21
Great golf course, fantastic layout. A little rougher around the edges than the Dom Pedro Old which I played yesterday but better greens and a superior layout for sure. The cart paths are absolutely dreadful though, and a few tee boxes and the driving range are not level. Highly enjoyable none the less.

Robert Blomsma 2023-04-19
Poor accommodation, super course

Keith Thomson 2023-03-27
course needs investment and has lost a lot of its quality compared to the surrounding courses we have played. Staff were excellent but tees, fairways and bunkers were not to the standard that would justify the green fee in Quinta!

David Stubbings 2023-03-26
Tees very poor paths horrendous and dangerous greens good fairways 6 out of 10 very long round due to over booking took five hours plus for 2 ball.

Eithne McMahon 2023-03-26
Great challenging course in lovely condition The park pedal on our buggy was difficult to press

Eithne McMahon 2023-03-23
Fantastic course some challenging holes but they make it all the more competitive

Lepthien Olaf 2023-02-16
In comparison to the greefee you pay the quality was poor. Fairway and green conditions average. Pathways for buggies and fences broken. Clubhouse with lack of color and no warm water in the showers. We paid half the greefee for better conditions in Vale do Lobo a day before. Additionally there was sound of construction work on allmost every hole. Sad, but not worth the money.

Gareth Voyle 2023-02-15
Loved the course and the caddy staff were very helpful when we had a faulty battery out on the course

Robert Edwards 2023-02-06
Great course, good test of the game. Stunning surroundings.

Paul Turner 2023-01-06
Always good but some areas were scruffy, especially tees

Stephen Norris 2022-11-28
Today I played the back 9 first because of a local tournament, in just 1 hour 10 minutes and I will play the front 9 at 15.00 this afternoon! Apart from this everything else was good ????

Stephen Norris 2022-11-26
Today only took 2hrs & 20 mins to play 18 holes fantastic course in good condition all staff very friendly and helpful and of course the excellent weather ??

Stephen Norris 2022-11-22
I played only 9 holes this morning due to first tee & 10th tee starting times, the first 9 holes took only 1hr 20mins. When I arrived at the 10th tee I had to wait for 10 minutes for the group in front! So I drove to the 11th tee hoping to go in front of them? Unfortunately there was a 4 ball on the 11th so I drove to the 12th, that was occupied, I then continued to check the remaining holes and they were all full so I drove back to the clubhouse, I told the lady what happened and she kindly credited me for the buggy which I will use on Thursday. Otherwise the staff were all very pleasant and the golf course was in good condition!

Stephen Norris 2022-11-20
Unfortunately I didn’t feel to good this morning so I didn’t play so I look forward to playing it on Tuesday kind regards Steve

Les Howard 2022-11-15
Having read Tripadvisor I was wondering what to expect . I feel the comments are not justified as the course was more than acceptable

Raymond Moore 2022-11-14
This is a former 5 star course that has been allowed to fall from grace. It needs tweaking everywhere. As a huge fan of this golf course in the past I can no longer see any value for money here. Finally, to charge €55 for a buggies on Calcada pathways that are unsafe & dangerous is bordering on criminal

Jon Brydon 2022-11-13
Great course Lovely layout Range is appalling Clubhouse very dated

Elibert Tigges 2022-11-01
Clubhouse really below any standard. Changing rooms very poor. No hot water in shower?? Course is very nice.

Adrian Thorogood 2022-10-16
San Lorenco is always a favourite, but in the last few years it is really looking tired. For that money I'd want perfection.

Norman Howie 2022-10-13
Disappointing. Greens and tees in poor condition. Greens overwatered and lumpy. Scorecards were photocopied bits of paper!! Not what you’d expect and poor first impression! 5hrs for a round - no Marshall to hurry people along. Back 9 was 3hrs. 2 groups in front of us played an 8 ball on the last hole. Great reputation but currently not worth the money.

Carlos Verhelst 2022-10-10
a large noisy group of Englishmen on the terrace. Course was excellent

Andrew Thorpe 2022-10-07
Excellent course

Raymond Moore 2022-10-06
This is a tough but fair golf course with six or seven very memorable holes. With a proper investment this could easily be the number one course around here

Jason smith 2022-10-04
Club house catering staff could be a little friendlier.

Wez Macey 2022-10-03
Great layout some lovely holes and greens were ok some areas of the course need abit of tlc but glad I’ve had the opportunity to play here

Steve Carter 2022-09-25
Great course in top condition. Average club house facilities.

Michael Davies 2022-09-25
A fabulous golf course being ruined for lack of investment. Infrastructure is appalling. I won’t be booking there again.

Marco Serfilippi 2022-09-25
not very well. we arrived and found no golf cars available. we started with manual trolleys and only at hole number 3 were they delivered to us we also found a course with terrifying greens

Vincent O Hara 2022-09-23
Great course not being maintained to the best standards.

Steve Threader 2022-09-10
The course is a great layout but the condition today was poor. Generally some untidy area and greens slow. Disappointing.

Linda Smeed 2022-08-20
Expensive course when adding in buggies.

Raymond Moore 2022-08-16
This is a superb golf course with some exceptional holes but regrettably it very mediocre condition. It needs lots of TLC to restore it to it's previous magnificence. Right now the buggy pathways are exceptionally dangerous/unsafe. I've been playing this course for more than 25years & I cannot believe that this magical place has been allowed to fall from its perch as number one golf course in Europe.

Julie Cobley 2022-08-15
Excellent , never disappoints

Richard MacMillan 2022-08-05
Poor course condition which is a shame for a great golf course

Adam Frontal 2022-08-04
Condition very poor. Fairways truly awful. Tees heavily sanded. Poor really. Not worth the money. Won’t rush back.

Mike Smith 2022-07-22
Amazing course. This course is always a highlight.

Ramy Mohy El Dine 2022-07-14
very good!

Conie Mascarenhas 2022-07-12
Not much to say as 8.28 tee time was treble booked, was told by the starter that it must have been a computer error and was then given a tee time of 8.36 with another two ball. Had to wait on every hole and then on the 10th a 4 ball with two buggy's appeared on the tee in front of us. I spoke to the pro shop, and was told that that was the group in front of us, luckily the starter was in the pro shop and she came to the tee and acknowledged that it was not the group in front of us and she would ask the Marshall to get them off the course. Looks like the pro shop must have slotted them in since they had buggies. It was only on the 15th hole the Marshall appeared and asked the group to let us through, they were not thrown off. Not a good experience and certainly not enjoyable. The club changing rooms were not very clean. Course was a little untidy but not too bad, some nice holes

Lawrence Blake 2022-06-29
This track is really interesting and has some challenging holes. Personally I think it is not for high handicappers is tight in places with little scope if you are offline (as I am). Generally the course seems expensive as it looked tired in places and the pro shop was quite old fashioned. Service could be better for example we asked for ice for the bottle box on the buggy and were told there was none.

Ralph van den Boogaard 2022-06-28
The plains are not so fine but the course is nice

Tom Mcilduff 2022-06-25
Tough course and a bit old around the edges - but just spectacular scenery and holes

Phil haskell 2022-06-23
Course not in such good condition as when I last played pre COVID but love the layout.

Stuart Reeve 2022-06-19
Course was in poor condition. Stones in some of the bunkers. Lots of unrepaired pitchmarks on the greens. Cart paths in a poor state of repair. Fairways grass uneven coverage. In total it looks like they need to spend a lot of money to get it back up to scratch.

Jon Cofield 2022-06-11
What an excellent golf course. Fantastic layout fairways could be a little better but overall superb

Robert Angell 2022-06-10
The lay out of the course is great, however the condition is not the best. The buggy’s have no water or ice, the drinks buggy had no food other than chocolate. The course needs to up its game to compete with Quinta.

Veronique 2022-06-07
veel te veel lawaai door de vliegtuigen de continu overvliegen maar wel mooie baan

raymond moore 2022-05-27
This is a superb golf course & after 36 years of playing it never let's me down. This course has 8 to 9 amazing/memorable holes which that you could play over & over again. The only negative is the cart paths are in very poor condition, verging on UNSAFE, once this situation is addressed I would give this course 9/10 for challenge & enjoyment ????

Alasdair Macrae 2022-05-15
As expected, we found the course to be in relatively poor condition but it still offered an enjoyable experience and, without doubt, is a beautiful and challenging course.

elisabeth Gregory Wagorn 2022-05-10
Not worth the money, course in poor condition. Unfriendly staff. No food service. Would not go back.

Barry Spillane 2022-05-10
Disappointed with this course as it was meant to be the best one, range was in rag order, course was very untidy and the pace of play was shocking, took 5 hours to play it, no ranges on the course to do anything about it.

Chris Greenwood 2022-05-09
Great course in fabulous condition.

Paddy Mc Connell 2022-05-08
Where do I start here? We got there and were told there’s no buggies. Everyone panicked but in the end we were able to get them. Not sure why they said they had none. The course itself is a magnificent golf course but was in very poor condition and needs an awful lot of work to get it back to where it should be. Lot of burnt areas and bare lies. The beverage cart had no food and ran out of beverages. We finished our round and were told there was no food/kitchen. They also ran out of alcohol. The staff weren’t the friendliest and the clubhouse is extremely outdated. The last bus for 6 people failed to show and again we had to pay for our own taxi. Overall a really bad experience and wouldn’t return.

David Laird 2022-05-04
So slow!! Was stuck behind a 5 ball. Their should be marshalls on the course keeping things moving. When we finally got back in, there was no bar or catering open. Still a great but in average condition. I have played here a few times but probably wont be back. Certainly not five star anymore.

Hubertus Hoyt 2022-05-02
All worked out well.

Sara Barnes 2022-04-17
Helpful staff. Few tee boxes were a bit scruffy. They ran out of peanuts in the ba

Peter Clement 2022-04-05
Great to be back after almost 3 years. Greens excellent, fairways generally very good, tees however were not in good condition and need quite a bit of work. Course itself remains a great challenge with some friendlier holes and some still quite brutal.

Craig Conley 2022-04-04
Course tees and fairways in poor condition

Peter Maxfield 2022-03-30
Good afternoon I have played San Lorenzo many times and there is plenty of great holes on the Course However I do have to say the tee boxes were disgracefull and would have been more suited to a very cheap Park course Most were cover with sand to disgiuse the poor state of the tee boxes and many looked as though they had no care at all. Also some fairways were not very good For the price we paid I am unhappy

Gareth Voyle 2022-03-30
Really enjoyed the course however it is looking scruffy and could do with extra greenkeeping attention The 18th hole is somewhat of a joke as unless you are extremely lucky you cannot get to the green in two and this hole needs reconfiguring
Tee Times reply: Ho, yes you can

ANDREW WILSON 2022-03-29
Excellent layout some tees in poor condition

Most disappointed with the condition of SL, not any where comparable to excellent quality of QdL South and Laranjal. I will not choose SL for a trip until I here it is being properly maintained. I had a trolley but 2 of our group had a buggy and were disappointed that there was no sat nav, water or tees provided.

Graham Ellerton 2022-02-18
Very warm welcome to play a course in good condition.

Gareth 2022-02-18
Most of the fairways & T boxes are a little scruffy and could do with tidying up/repair Still some of the most iconic golf holes on the Algarve

Neil Moody 2022-02-16
Really friendly people. Great course, good condition for the time of year.

Nic Bentley 2022-02-02
Very helpful, polite , efficient and cheerful staff Greens as good ( and difficult) as always. Fairways a bit shoddy with the tees leaving much to be desired. But bearing in mind the absence of rain, I am not complaining The sun shon and it was a happy day

Hans Nordlund 2022-01-04
No work on the course.

Martin Knodt 2022-01-01
Very good, greens excellent Fairways mixed grass sorts ..

CARLOS SIMOES 2021-12-23
Very bas

Stefan Portmann 2021-11-28
top perfect

Lang Gabriele 2021-11-22
Der Platz ist in einem relativ schlecht gepflegten Zustand. Die einzelnen Löcher haben uns gut gefallen. Leider war der Platz extrem voll, was dazu geführt hat, dass wir vor jedem Schlag 2-5 Minuten warten mussten. Daher geben wir hier keine gute Bewertung. Der Platz ist dafür zu teuer.

Harry Bodmer 2021-11-12
Pathways mit in Good condition Water in the Buggy

Rainer Albath 2021-11-11
So great course :-) just fairways need control about the Grass...... they have to Do something!

Nick Fry 2021-11-08
Excellent

Paul Johnson 2021-11-08
Hi Alexandre, I’m pleased you’ve asked. It was a nightmare… 5 hours to get around and I had to wait up to 10 minutes on every single shot. I can’t tell you how disappointing this is. It’s £138 euros and this should not happen. There is no way they can check the handicaps of players. At one point I had a fifteen minute wait on a tee. I also had to tee off the 10th, not the first, because they had a large society booking?!!! Unforgivable. Really, really frustrated, having looked forward to playing such a fine course. I complained to the pro in the shop and he didn’t offer anything other than to shrug his shoulders. The greens were very slow and covered in pitch marks. The worst I’ve played on in the Algarve. Having played over two hundred courses, this is the worst experience I’ve had and one of the most expensive. Not enjoyable at all.

Nigel Dickinson 2021-11-08
Similar comments to Val do Lobo, Service not quite as sharp as Val do Lobo and course not in the same condition that SL used to be but nevertheless a wonderful experience

Marco Serfilippi 2021-11-07
This year in very good condition

Eric Peyer 2021-10-19
Nice course layout with great views. Fun to play. Course conditions unfortunately not optimal, slow greens with many unrepaired pitch marks.

Angela Pott 2021-10-16
As I postet before, San Lorenzo is our favorite course in Q d L. This year we played there three times early in the morning. Once they matched us with a nice couple and twice they sent us out earlier so we did not have to wait behind foursomes.

mark robson 2021-10-14
We loved everything about the course, and exceeded expectations. The course was very busy, but flowed well and we werent in a hurry. would def go back

Eric Rahusen 2021-10-07
No buggy’s. And no intention to help us

Angela Pott 2021-10-05
San Lorenzo is our favorite golf course in Q d L. Beautiful landscape, wide fairways, fast greens, overall well maintained. The electric trolleys we had to complain about at Pinheiros Altos worked perfectly.

Trevor Swift 2021-09-28
Great layout and very tough but course is showing some signs of poor maintenance. Unable to get electric trollies

steve wren 2021-09-27
course layout good but course condition poor and tatty especially path ways. Some bunkers had rakes and some of the pins were covid pins no consistency. 50 euros for a buggy no pencil,scorecard,water,tees,sat nav ice bucket or ball /club cleaner rip off. my experience would suggest this club has financial problems

Darren Rands 2021-09-23
Very good course layout, course poor condition though, little bit lacking in attention to detail, received a far higher level of service at vilamoura

Mark Hughes 2021-09-22
First time playing San Lorenzo, it’s an interesting and challenging course which makes you think your way around. A couple of holes play along the Ria Formosa, which are very tight and demand accurate shots. A few of the fairways had patches, but nothing major, however I can understand some of the comments regarding this given the price of the green fees. Greens are fine, not quick and pretty flat. We had an early tee time, 7.32am and was eaten alive by mosquitoes so bring plenty of insect repellent if teeing off early or late! The clubhouse isn’t as spectacular as some, it’s more traditional, but service was good and prices were on a par for most golf clubhouses. Would definitely play again.

Jon Lancaster 2021-09-20
Have been before and the course was struggling but today it was fantastic. Fairways and greens were in great condition and the scenery stunning. Can’t wait to play again !

Trevor Maw 2021-09-19
Really enjoyed the golf course, was in pretty good condition. It was very quiet I think due to lack of holiday golfers caused by Covid. For similar reasons (I guess) the restaurant and bar were not open so unable to get food and drink after the round. I know August is low season but sincerely hope that things pick up in the near future.

Gary Dwyer 2021-09-14
A little disappointed with the course condition. For such a magnificent course there are tee boxes and fairways that are very untidy. Difficult to be critical on such a great course, however it does not compare in condition to the QDL courses, however the fees are the same.

Craig Duffy 2021-09-10
Experience from tee times was great, course wasn’t in the best condition however

Stephen Johnson 2021-09-08
Course is stunning, but they had no buggies to rent and said all batteries in there buggies are broken. Also when we finished our round at 5.30pm the kitchen was closed. You would expect better from this course.

Alan Hoyne 2021-09-07
Course ok, cart paths in terrible condition, nice staff, not value for money, anymore !

Nigel Wood 2021-09-06
Still one of the great Algarve courses. Regrettably there are signs that the current owners are failing to fund the facilities properly.For example there are now very few buggies available to hire and being forced to walk the course in August significantly detracts from the whole experience

Ian Hartis 2021-08-29
Excellent course

Lisa Cullen 2021-08-27
Enjoyed the challenge, greens in condition but fairways not great , a bit wholly

Carine Trierweiler 2021-08-27
Nice course but carts are rarely available... we got a cart from the staff

Philippe Pineau 2021-08-23
My first time to San Lorenzo: Parking is very dusty! White dust sticking to everything: Shoes, cars, etc… The course is in good condition, except the bunkers (very poor sand quality, lots of stones, most are wet and compact), some nice holes. Need signs: Typically from the 11th green to the 12th tee (we ended up to a service area taking the path left of the green). Lots of airplanes taking off (about every 5 minutes, even during this time of Covid restriction of travel! I wonder what it could be like in normal time?) Buggies, club house, practice facilities are OK. Most cart path a bit bumpy. I am sorry to say: I am disappointed by this course. Reading most review I was expecting a 5* course. It is currently nowhere up to standards.

Matt Hill 2021-08-22
Lovely golf course, but clubhouse facilities are poor and service no better than ‘ok’

Raymond Moore 2021-08-11
This golf course is a pleasure to play. There are many demanding/challenging holes. The greens we superb & my only negative comment is that perhaps the over watered the fairways

Reece 2021-07-20
Good course with some good scores available but also some disastrous ones if not carful. Great views and condition

Thomas Brugelmann 2021-07-01
Great course but in poor condition

Hans Peddemors 2021-07-01
great golfcourse

Steve Burtt 2021-06-20
San Lorenzo is a beautiful course.

nicolas rogivue 2021-06-18
great golf course and very friendly staff

Carl Bak 2021-06-17
another successful day playing san lorenzo, well organised through tee times

George P Croft 2021-06-10
Atyla and Jorge were so helpful and got us a tee time last minute at San Lorenzo. Have used many times before and will use again.
Tee Times reply: Thanks George for your kind comments

Roland Streule 2021-06-01
Very nice, challenging course. Pretty well maintained. Very helpful and polite staff. But almost empty !! Why ??

Robert Dytch 2021-05-21
Lovely golf course,only negative is that there are far too many bunkers,staff were very friendly and helpfull

Sarrazin Franck 2020-02-29
Very scenic course very good shape

Andrew Millership 2020-02-27
A golf course that seems to be past its best with tired practice facilities and mediocre dining. Not in the same league as Monte Rei. The whole setup needs to be modernised. Staff were friendly but this did not offer value for money.

Mikko Raunio 2020-02-05
Great course, but the condition was only average

Stephen Norris 2020-02-04
Course is in very good condition all staff very friendly and always look forward to returning to play again

Brunella Ruzic 2020-01-04
Very beautiful golf field. , quite difficult Precios staff Nice club house

Glyn evans 2020-01-02
Lovely golf course although 5 hours to play as a two ball far to slow was not able to get any rythmn into the round

Dominik L. Zuhorn 2019-12-27
San Lorenco ist ein schöner, parkähnlicher Golfplatz mit überwiegend breiten Fairways umgeben von prächtigen Villenanlagen. Eindrucksvoll sind die Löcher 5,6 und 7, bei denen das Meer ins Spiel kommt. Hervorzuheben ist das sehr nette und aufmerksame Personal.

Boitard Jean-Paul 2019-12-12
Parcours bien dessiné, mais fairway en très mauvais état, pour un golf qui est très cher.

Thomas Abbott 2019-11-27
A nice course although given how prestigious it is rated we found that the facilities were slightly sub par. The course however is a wonderful test of golf and would thoroughly recommend it.

Sverre Phillip Olsen 2019-11-17
Very Expensive ! 1.Tokens for driving range 5 Euro other places 3 Euro,Buggies 50 euro ( without GPS) other places 30 Euro. 2 The quality of the course very Good. 3.The greenkeeper must be better to keep quiet when they have players on TEE , green, Hitting stroke. Nice Lunch. Regards Sverre Phillip

Henry Nash 2019-11-11
course was very good .shame the club could not include a bottle of water with the buggy which is the most expensive of all courses

Nick Fry 2019-10-19
Stunning scenery but a few too many bare patches & poorly prepared tee boxes

Mark Baynes 2019-10-16
good course. Very poor rental clubs

Neill Richardson 2019-10-14
Fantastic course and facilities

Christian Overgaard 2019-10-09
Charming course, 18 totally different holes, nice staff, tip: check for buggy availability before arrival in case you need buggy.

David Paul Gough 2019-10-08
Love the course Food in the golf club was extremely over priced

gay niermann 2019-10-08
Lovely course but they did not have enough buggies for players. Lot of unhappy golfers waiting. Some of the staff was not very friendly.

Robert Moore 2019-10-08
Fantastic experience. Firstly, the number of players in our group decreased from 8 to 4 due to unforseen circumstances. We were due to play on the Saturday but the pro shop had no issue with us moving one of the fourballs to Friday morning to accommodate an extra round. Excellent customer service so big kudos here. Greens rolled well, yellow tee boxes were uneven but given high season it is understandable that they are not in pristine condition. Great run of holes from 6 through to 9 which was a great end on the Friday given we started from the 10th. 17th and 18th are fantastic holes. The design is brilliant, with challenging bunkering putting a premium on accuracy off the tee. I have played every course in the Vale do Lobo, Quinta, Vilamoura area and this is the best, no question. Excellent piri piri chicken as well!

Steve Graham 2019-09-14
Staff friendly and nice clubhouse. Not sure it’s worth paying €139 to play though. Greens are very good however, considering this is the start of the season, the fairways seemed a little bare and the grass on the fairways was a mix of coarse and finer.

Carol Lane 2019-09-11
Frustrating that have to pay for water when you ‘ve paid for buggy - and all other courses provide. Front desk for golf pleasant but bar service slow. Beautiful course - tough though!

Billy Duncan 2019-09-11
Course in Scruffy Condition and Very Crowded 5.5 Hour Round waiting at every Tee

MARY RAYMENT 2019-09-08
Very challenging course in good condition.

Murray Armstrong 2019-08-30
Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful views from the course, which looks a little tired in places.

Sandro Sandri 2019-08-09
A golfer’s heaven

Ingrid van Loenhout 2019-07-08
Splendid course well-kept with stunning views. We played well within the 4 hours. Will defenitely come back here.

Ian Mckechnie 2019-06-17
The Golf course was very good, however, the clubhouse was in poor nick toilets and changing rooms tired and smelly

Paul Reynolds 2019-05-20
Not as good as I was expecting . It was ok but the club house is very dated . That said the staff and service was first class as was the food, very nice . A tough course for sure especially when the wind blows . Which it did . The course condition was good too .

Greg Reynolds 2019-05-10
A lovely challenging course.

Bastian Sprenger 2019-05-07
The course layout is very nice but, the course conditions did not live up to their expectation. Further were several flights hold up due to a very slow playing flight

Peter Sandtorv 2019-05-06
The golf course are in bad conditions. It really needs a total makeover, including fairways, buggy lanes, flags, tees - absolutely everything needs to be improved.

Peter S Watson 2019-05-04
Great course design but not well maintained. Poor value for money. San Lorenzo needs a lot of work to bring it up to the standard of other courses in the region.

Bonin 2019-05-01
Very nice design of the course but not maintained at a very high standard. Greens are good but fairways not exceptional...

Conor Claxton 2019-04-30
Course was amazing, staff in the pro shop were great. The food after golf was pretty good. The only let down was the fact that they offered a club cleaning service when we finished but then proceeded to only clean half the clubs. We had to find the two other sets and retrieve the clubs from a sink as there were no staff members to be seen. This is not what you would expect at this type of course.

Stuart young 2019-04-20
Pace of play very slow with lots of inexperienced golfers staying at the hotel and playing the course which is difficult. We try and avoid 5 hour rounds and this was well over that so we will be excluding this course on our next visit which is a shame as it's a lovely course

Stéphane Jacquemont 2019-04-02
Nobody on the course Poor fairways Far much too expensive for what we get

dirk groeneweg 2019-03-25
old fashioned, well kept and beautiful surrounding but extremely expensive

David Askew 2019-02-17
Had not played here for about 10 years and enjoyed our 2 rounds there . Staff in clubhouse were brilliant . The course compared with others we have played over the winter was in ok condition . The fairways around the lake 8th 17th and 18th were in particularly very very poor condition

Tony Calnan 2019-02-08
Great course as always. Fairways can be dry but greens bunkers and everywhere else I found my self were in perfect condition.

Sander Westdorp 2019-01-12
The condition of fairways and aprons are disappointing. The former soft fairways have lost most of their flexibility. The greens are in a Good condition!

David Levitus 2018-12-27
Fabulous course

Dominik L. Zuhorn 2018-12-23
Ein wunderschöner Golfplatz, insbesondere die ersten neun Löcher, von denen einige am Atlantik entlang liegen. Die Fairways sind nicht in einem super Zustand - kein Wunder nach diesem auch in Portugal extrem trockenem Sommer. Das Personal ist nett und zuvorkommend - empfehlenswert.

Rainer Albath 2018-11-11
Very nice course always. Bunkers need refresh

Andrew Collings 2018-11-04
Great weather! Good golf course. A little disappointed with the greens, a lot of spike marks and unrepaired pitch marks. Golf buggy at 50 euros is far too expensive.

Gavin 2018-11-03
Great course with helpful staff and a great bacon butty

Mr Bill holmes 2018-10-14
Very good challenge, but not as well kept or presented as Quinta. Slow!! This is not an easy course for high handicap golfers.

Jeff Anderson 2018-10-13
We played San Lorenzo last week, we were a two ball as our partners dropped out at the last minute. As always at San Lorenzo the round took 5 hours, waiting on every shot, sometimes 3 groups on one hole. The rangers on this course are ineffective - just drive about watching but not seemingly doing much to speed up play. Course not in bad condition, greens looked a bit scruffy but actually played quite well. Its always expensive and over priced but given the course was packed i guess they justify the price. Many years ago you use to be able to play golf to be allowed on all of the Quinta courses - now you just need to turn up with the cash.

Mr Matt Grant 2018-10-12
Great course with fantastic holes down by the sea, some tough holes but worth the experience

Marcus Williamson 2018-10-12
Lovely course great condition,thoroughly enjoyed it.Butty bar could have come around more often

Alan Gray 2018-10-05
The course was in good condition apart from the tees which were very scrubby

Stuart clarke 2018-08-20
Fantastic golf course.

Philip Halpenny 2018-05-18
Course in better condition than rumoured though greens rather slow. Glad to have visited again after a few years absence.

Mike Ford 2018-05-14
staff v friendly but course in v poor condition, especially the greens

Dr. Klaus Grossmann 2018-05-11
Spectacular views course, friendly staff, greens average, but green fees overpriced, restaurant/bar slow .

Harald Leidel 2018-05-07
Great course with beautiful views ... but obviously too expensive

Mr Courault 2018-05-06
The Greens were half sanded and the course doesn’t worth the price It’s not the same quality as Laranjal Quinta do Lago or Vale do Lobo

Ian Smeaton 2018-05-06
I have been looking forward to playing San Lorenzo for a number of years as it is one of the few courses in the area I have not played. However I did leave a little disappointed, whilst the course layout was excellent, the conditioning and set up was a little tired and shabby compared to other courses in the Q d L area. Also the customer service at the pro shop/clubhouse was poor compared to other facilities.

Mrs Mary Hackett 2018-05-04
The 6 players were very disappointed with this course the greens were sanded the course looked shabby no ice with buggy no water no tees no worth the price that was paid and would recommend to our friends in Ireland

Darren Gatward 2018-05-04
Stunning setting & a pleasure to play

ADRIAN FRASER JONES 2018-04-30
excellent course good test of golf

Jonathan O'Neill 2018-04-29
Outstanding course other than one or two average holes. Poor range facilities

Stuart Young 2018-04-26
Stunning course in great condition

David Bridge 2018-04-25
Check in good, course very nice, however compared to Monte Rai it was poor. Nothing included in the cost..., no strokesaver, no logo pencil, no free fruit, tees or pitch mark repairers and no personal service. For the cost I expected better.

Peter Grant 2018-03-29
A super course that we play every year. It was a pleasure to play it again this year. It's time the locker rooms were upgrade though.

Mr Dalpozzo 2017-12-06
Staff was friendly and efficient. The course was in sos and so condition. Greens were slow and generally worse than one expects in Algarve and in San Lorenzo.

Rainer Albath 2017-11-14
Like always the nicest course at algarve . Bunkers are made new nicely . For the fairways they have to look for the Quality!

Marc Luthi 2017-10-26
A very nice setting and a wonderful golfing experience. Very friendly service. best regards, marc

Neil williamson 2017-10-14
Course was not in as good condition as we remember it in the past. Green fees are expensive so was expecting course to be in better shape but maybe as it was due to a lot of rounds being played at this time of year.

Patrick Higgins 2017-10-05
Great.

Kevin Barker 2017-10-05
Course looked a little tatty, staff very friendly in club house ... buggies were in poor condition No on course drink/food service which was very poor considering the warm weather

Gary Wills 2017-10-04
Beautiful course

John Harte 2017-10-04
Excellent.

Neil Turner 2017-09-18
Fantastic setting - great golf course. Buggies were expensive.

Christopher DREW 2017-07-16
Excellent, well looked after, will return in due course

Michael maynard 2017-07-02
Best course out here

Gillian mcleod 2017-06-13
My favourite course. Expensive but worth it. Much quieter than the other courses and absolutely gorgeous golf course.

Cliff Morgan 2017-05-15
Excellent course, could do with seeing the drinks buggy more often though.

Peter Sandtorv 2017-05-09
Always a pleasure to play this course

Jeremy Pragnell 2017-05-08
Excellent

Peter Grant 2017-04-12
San Lorenzo is our favourite course and the staff are very helpful.

Alan Seery 2017-03-27
Excellent course. The price for buggy hire is rather expensive relative to other courses.

David Stubbings 2017-03-24
Course and greens in good shape

Paul Dickinson 2017-02-02
Excellent

Rainer Albath 2016-11-28
still the nicest course..... but fairways and bunkers in no good condition.... they should not slepp with the fame they have..... a lot of maintenance is necessary!

Christine O'Neill 2016-11-16
Very enjoyable round of golf. The course was in good condition

Gary Wills 2016-10-24
Fantastic golf course, great layout with stunning views. Worth the extra euros.

Karin Bratusch-Marrain 2016-10-23
Beaitiful plants and nice view on the sea

Dave Thompson 2016-10-06
What can I say . This course was excellent with ALL holes offering a challenge. Staff were great and helped out with a problem we had. Cannot wait to return.

Trevor Hatton 2016-09-27
Some stunning golf holes and overall my favourite. Clearly gets alot of play as some of the greens and tee boxes were starting to look a littel tired.

AlanPatterson 2016-09-23
Lovely golf course but tired

Phil Clements 2016-09-22
Very good course. No complaints

Andrew Cockerill 2016-09-18
The course was in poor condition unfortunately. It is a great layout but the whole place looks very 'tired' and is getting by on its history/reputation. The welcome in the pro shop was not particularly friendly. The buggy master and his team were very friendly and helpful though.

Walker 2016-07-13
Beautiful golf course and great facilities. Buggy price extortionate compared to Villamoura. 45 euro no tees no water no ice. 20 euro in villamoura tees and ice provided

Karen Croft 2016-06-29
Only booked San Lorenzo through teetimes.pt as our hotel was able to book the other courses that we wanted to play. To an extent, San Lorenzo is trading on its past glory. Staff ok but a tad disinterested at check in. No discount at all for junior players! Course ok, but some holes felt crowded by residential development and we played better courses (eg Faldo, Monte Rei). However, San Lorenzo's unique position with several holes alongside the sea means people will still come to play.

Dawn Smith 2016-06-23
Played this course twice during our break and both times had to wait over an hour to get a buggy. Think it would be better if when booking golf we could book a buggy

Monique Mackay 2016-06-23
very quiet on the course when we got there (around 9 a.m. teetime), which was great as we got around quite quickly. Beautiful course in excellent condition, but very expensive to play (which is probably why it was so quiet).

Maurice Rogers 2016-05-31
Condition of the course was ok but I am not sure it justifies the cost of the green fee. Staff were helpful and arranged for us to start play earlier than scheduled.

Gary Walsh 2016-05-10
Still best course in Algarve

Graham Johnson 2016-05-02
Excellent friendly staff - always willing to help. Would definitely recommend.

Peter Grant 2016-04-16
San Lorenzo is always our favourite course. Lived up to its reputation again this year.

Herrmann Roether 2016-04-08
Teetimes much to tight ( 8 minutes )

amr el cherif 2016-03-21
golf course with great scenery and layout - needs investment to improve facilities, buggy, GPS , buggy path etc..

Rene Olthof 2016-03-17
Nice and difficult but you feel welcome

Schoening 2016-02-25
San Lorenzo Golf is a beautiful course, which we like most.

rob forward 2016-01-16
Nice golf course, some good holes, pace of play was a bit slow. I wouldn't rush to go back there.

peter mooney 2015-12-16
Very good site staff. We let a lot of two balls through, it was not to everybody's liking.

Timo Kahila 2015-12-08
Very good, a very nice course

Joerg Beringer 2015-11-22
A bit disappointed. Not as scenic as i thought and in relatively poor condition.

Nicola Mick-Kohler 2015-11-15
we love this course - but it was not in a good condition

olga 2015-11-13
We plaid on saturday 31st october. Before the heavy rain. But the course was wet already and exhaustive to walk, puling the trolley! A design and conditions a little bit over rated.

Adrian Thorogood 2015-11-02
Slow but still a great course. Overall, the Algarve courses are getting overplayed and the quality of the golf experience is suffering as a consequence. They cannot keep charging the amounts they do and not maintain the courses. Something has to be done about the amount of traffic they get, as the tee boxes in particular are just not coping with the amount of usage. Greens also have so many pitch marks that they are not running true anymore. I don't know if there is a general 'Algarve Golf Course Club' that Tee Times can feed this back to, but I would have thought action needs to be taken soon. We don't play Royal and Ocean courses anymore as they are always too slow to play.

Alan Scotter 2015-10-28
Excellent course. Rained heavily before both rounds but course drained quickly so play was possible. Staff welcoming and friendly

Chez Carlos Golf Society 2011-12-15
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. Played mid December and was in great condition - winter golf doesn't get any finer than this and great value too.
