American architect William Mitchell raised the bar in terms of golf course architecture here at Quinta do Lago by importing American standard greens, tees and bunkers. In May 2020 the South course closed for major renovation work which took more than a year to complete.

The Quinta do Lago South Course remains one of the Algarve’s standout golf courses and forms part of one of Europe’s premier resort golfing destinations.

The South Course is highly rated and is one of the best designed courses I’ve ever played.

There is no doubt that the South course at Quinta do Lago is a superb layout.

This popular course is a superb layout and a great test of golf, choose your tees carefully due to the elevations that make the course play longer than its yardage.

Have been lucky enough to play Quinta South course around a dozen times which in itself is a reflection of my thoughts on the course.

The South course was one of more than a dozen layouts I saw on a week-long visit to the Algarve last week and I’m glad I didn’t get here until late in my itinerary – the old saying of keeping the best until last really does hold true!

The final leg of our recent visit found us with an early start at the South course.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
