Quinta do Lago (Laranjal)

Simply beautiful and superbly presented, Laranjal is the third instalment in the Quinta Do Lago resort catalogue.

This is the hole where Rory McIlroy drove the green.

The Resort has 3 courses and 7 years ago I played North and South but was pending Laranjal and in a recent escorted trip had the option to play this one and first call is it is way different from the other 2.

Big open golf course this , very American in style, front 9 ok back 9 much better with the best holes around or over water, big hitters will love the fact you can pretty much open your shoulders and hit it as hard as you like a bit predictable but some like this style, not for me

Absolutely the best course we played this week.

I had been wanting to play Laranjal for some time and finally got the chance in January.

Simply outstanding, the condition of the course was in a different league to those we played throughout the week.

There’s a totally different vibe playing the Laranjal compared to either the South or the North.

It was great to be back on the Algarve this past week and return to a few favourite courses.

This is the second time I’ve played Quinta Do Lago’s Laranjal Course.
