Quinta Do Lago –
The South Course

The South Course at Quinta Do Lago is the crown jewel of Quinta do Lago. Designed in 1974 by William Mitchell, who introduced American-standard greens, tees and bunkers to the Algarve. Soon the course gained a prestigious reputation and became a flagship in the European Tour Course.

A favorite among European tour players, the 6,500-meter par 72 is set among umbrella pines, lakes and wild flowers, overlooking the serene Ria Formosa National Park. South Course has hosted the Portuguese Open eight times, including Colin Montgomerie’s win in 1989. Having won 24 under par, he finished 11 strokes ahead and broke the world record with a round of 63.
