Monte Rei North Golf Course - latest comments and reviews

Dominic Novais 2024-03-03
The course is a championship course by experience (obstacles everywhere demanding a good shot, precision and strategy). Loved the layout. Only negative was that the course looked dry and not lush. Otherwise a privileged experience.

Roderick Lagendijk 2024-02-12
Conditions of the fairway and green was very poor

Karl Stark 2024-01-26
Fun course, lots of good holes. Service is great. Pace of play great due to not many people on the course. Greens pretty slow but ok. Fairways in terrible condition. No acknowledgement of this, no discount or compensation. Which is simply not acceptable when charging 200e when the fairways would have been bad on a 30e course.

Conor McCloskey 2024-01-15
Disappointed in the condition of the course. ! Monte Rei needs to get this course back to its former glory!

Mark Punter 2023-11-19
It;’s a beautiful layout although rather remote. The overall condition of the course wasn’t great and was not to the standard you expect of Monte Rei. Some of the margins were also untidy and the greens were considerably slower than the practice putting green. The round was very slow and not a single marshall seen.

Bruno Verdiesen 2023-11-18
Not worth the price by far. Landscape heavily impacted by forest fire. Fairways not good due to lack of water.

Lauermann Andreas 2023-10-28
Greens perfect, but the fairways still suffering from the dry summer

JD VanCamp 2023-10-25
Course and facility staff are wonderful! However, the course itself is in abysmal condition. Totally misrepresented in pictures and green fees are way to high for the playing conditions here. Would not recommend nor play here again

Jonathan Dale 2023-10-22
Not good value for money, as the course was in very bad condition

Marco Serfilippi 2023-10-21
Monte Rei golf is a challenging course, but in these last years in very bad conditions...

John Mason 2023-09-11
Tees / greens were perfect but as expected fairways were disappointing.

Raymond Coy 2023-06-01
The design and lay out of Monte Rei are excellent.The staff were very nice and helpful. However, the condition of parts of the course and some of the greens (rough and bumpy) were certainly below the standards expected of a Jack Nicholas designed course especially for the price you are paying for a round of golf.

Ryan Jones 2023-04-16
An unbelievable place which truly has a special feel! The food in the restaurant was also very good! Wasn’t quite so impressed with some levels of customer service, the dress code for the vistra restaurant was confusing and the staff in one restaurant made things difficult. However, overall, a great experience and one we won’t forget.

Josette Franken 2023-03-06
Friendly people very hospitable. The reservation was known. The course was in good shape even for the time of year. Although I personally find it a bit boring but that could be due to the season. The red tees are not very exciting and it would be nice if ladies could tee off from the silver tee as well. This is possible, of course The clubhouse restaurant ''The Grill'' could do with a facelift. Especially at this time of year when you are inside, it is not really cosy.

Josette Franken 2023-03-06
The red tees are not very exciting if you want to play from silver tees instead it is possible and makes it more interesting.

Jaroslav Mraz 2023-02-27
fairway around greens is not good

David Askew 2023-02-11
Fantastic layout unfortunately the condition over the years is letting it down The special experience they used to pride themselves on us being reduced each year . Now completely overpriced

Nick Fry 2023-01-14
Really brilliant except for the fringe/apron around the greens. Plus allowed some appalling people to play today who unfortunately were English and had no etiquette or had handicaps under 40

John Kearns 2022-11-01
Great place to enjoy a days golf , great course and staff and facilities

Paul Turner 2022-10-13
Marvelous golf course with a splendid clubhouse. If you have not eaten in the 3 days previous to playing take advantage of the biggest and best tapas at Euros 15. The only negative is the pace of play, not far short of 5 hours.

Mr Jonathan Finn 2022-10-03
Great course, every hole is picture perfect. Bunkers need some work.

John Mason 2022-10-03
Wonderful experience

Mr. Antoniazzi 2022-09-26
Fantastic course, wonderful setting , good food, great service

Peter Michael Maguire 2022-09-20
A fantastic golf course supported by perfect service from the moment you arrive. Expensive, but worth ever penny

Richard McDonnell 2022-09-18
The course, staff and facilities were all excellent

Steve Threader 2022-09-13
Overall was really good. The greens were slower than usual and could have rolled better

Tony Calnan 2022-09-12
Best Golf Experience in Algarve

Graeme Cox 2022-08-28
Some amazing holes & great customer service throughout. Unfortunately the course wasnt quite in the best of condition but fine.

Lydia Sos 2022-06-14
The golf starter and all their staff are extremely good and well trained.

Jamie Winchester 2022-05-27
Fantastic service and special golf course

Paddy Mc Connell 2022-05-08
Monte Rei experience has gone downhill in my opinion. I prob wouldn’t go back as value for money isn’t there I found after this visit. Our last visit was a much better experience. The pro shop wasn’t stocked with the latest golf apparel. The greens weren’t as good and the box of goodies(tees, pencils, stroke savers) was empty on the first tee. This really annoyed me as this is meant to be the best course in Portugal. Overall I was disappointed.

Junhong Xiao 2022-05-04
The service and facilities at Monte Rei are excellent. It’s worth to experience No.1 golf course in Portugal.

Harold Daems 2022-04-25
Excellent course. Price 220 euro''s? No.

Mike Hetherington 2022-03-08
A fantastic golf course , deserves all the accolades. Difficult but what the hell...

David Askew 2022-02-13
Fantastic course clubhouse and staff. Layout one of the best I’ve played . Unfortunately the greens were dreadful

Johannes Halper 2022-01-31
Leider ist der Kurs nicht in den Zustand wie vor zwei Jahren. In den Bunkern wenig Sand , Bunkerkanten nicht sehr gepflegt. 170€ ist er in diesem Zustand nicht wert. Da sind die Quinta do lago Plätze sehr viel besser gepflegt. Unfortunately, the course is not in the condition it was two years ago. Little sand in the bunkers, bunker edges not well maintained. It's not worth €170 in this condition. The Quinta do lago courses are much better maintained.

Gerrit Goor 2021-09-23
Fantastic Bad Luck we could not drive on the fairways with the buggy Negativ: The prices for food and drinks on the Buggy Bar Incredible expensive, felt like robber

Bertin Pietsch 2021-09-11
Green fee is currently overpriced because it burned on the square. the surrounding area is charred.

Tony Calnan 2021-08-25
Golf was very good. Unfortunate for the course that they have some holes damaged by a wild fire. They expect this to be green again in spring time

Kenneth Barnes 2020-03-12
Enjoyed the excellent condition of course and bunkers. Were easy to play out of. Greens not perfect but very puttable. Pace of play, service, quality of luncheon food was excellent.

Dermot Hanafin 2020-02-29
Quality and professionalism from all the staff.

Claudia Kirchfeld 2020-02-05

Natalie Redková 2019-11-18

Tibor Mlynka 2019-11-15
dry fairways, inadequate price to the quality of the course

Nigel Lucas 2019-11-12
Always an experience playing Monte Rei.....great staff, great course, all the extra touches make it a special day....even alignment sticks on the range now too. Greens not quite as fast as normal, but still true as ever.

Henry Nash 2019-11-11
probably the best experience of hospitality and quality golf course.

Tony Calnan 2019-10-31

Excellent experience including hospitality of staff. Course immaculate. Greens fast & true

Andrew Watson 2018-11-19
Service was excellent. Course was interesting although it relied on water rather than natural terrain which is a feature of courses designed by Jack Nicklaus. It was an excellent venue although I personally feel that there are better courses in Portugal

Mikko Raunio 2018-11-15
Best golf course in Portugal - WAU many times

Good course maintenance and great service

Steve Threader 2018-05-20
Awesome course for sure but attention from the staff was also excellent too

Stewart Eden 2018-05-14
In all aspects apart from 1, Monte Rei was a fantastic experience. The Staff were all excellent and we were made to feel special which is important considering the price tag! The course was in excellent condition. A truly memorable day. However we had an issue with our breakfast which I will communicate directly to Monte Rei.

Peter Heinecke 2018-05-08
Just perfect!

Darren Gatward 2018-05-03
Staff first class, course better than anywhere else in Portugal by some way. I couldn’t recommend this course more! #Stunning

Jonathan O'Neill 2018-04-29
Outstanding course but very penal if slightly off line World class facilities

Stuart young 2018-04-25
Just superb. Expensive but very worth it

Dave Abbott 2018-04-10
It is the best golf course I've played. Each hole is brilliantly designed. I can't find fault if I tried. Monte Rei is a must for any golfer who loves the game, fantastic course and facilities. Brilliantly looked after before, during and afterwards. I'll be back!

Kevin McGrath 2018-04-10
Excellent course , facilities and service . Well worth the visit and will come again . Very friendly staff

Philip Townsend 2018-03-11
In spite of heavy rain the course was superb and we well well looked after.

Klaus-Dieter Feldmann 2018-02-23
Even the course was quite dry conditions good. Very friendly welcome and staff everywhere. As the group of four player often with pressure from the back from single or two players. But without difficulties. Overall that was not a busy day.

Superb experience from start to finish. Will continue to make the journey from vilamoura region each year - best course and service in the algarve

Ian Smith 2017-08-19
Fantastic course. Very welcoming and helpful staff and a truly fantastic course.

Neil Rodgerson 2017-06-10
Fantastic experience from pulling up at the clubhouse to leaving. Best course anywhere I have played. Great value at 150euros. 220 is too expensive for me.

Paul Pheby 2017-05-24
6 star service unrivalled anywhere in I've played in Europe. Truly sublime course. I have played many and this is the best of them all!

Martin Gallagher 2017-02-21
Unfortunately the weather was bad - we were forced off the course because of heavy rain Thunder and Lightning, having completed just 1 hole

Paul Dickinson 2017-02-02
Excellent

margaret platt 2016-11-08
A very manicured golf course with wonderful views.

Tom Darcy 2016-09-15
Best Course but greens were hollow tined

Tony Abbot 2016-08-05
By far the best gold course in the Algarve I love it. The whole experience staff are very courteous, the food is good too. Would love to see more offers from them as Monte is very expensive. Perhaps a bigger discount if you play it twice or something? I love the early ticket before 9.30am where you get Tapas included. This is very good indeed.

Franco Di Fonzo 2016-07-06
Monte Rei is unique. Played three times and is always the best course of Algarve

Nicholas Kjelgaard 2016-06-26
A great experience, there was a VIP group playing in front who stopped for lunch after nine which meant we had to weight, however the course provided us with a free drink to compensate. The course is great the service exceptional and very much worth doing this once.

Peter Grant 2016-04-16
Excellent course but very expensive

amr el cherif 2016-03-21
monte rei best overall golf experience - excellent service

Paddy Duffy 2016-03-15
Monte Rei was superb and service outstanding. We will definitely return. Course was excellent and the 12 minute time gaps is very comfortable. Everyone was very welcoming and we appreciated all the attention to detail.

Alan Crooks 2016-02-08
Worth a visit Staff a bit over the top but a fantastic course, not for high handicap golfers !

Pritpal Padam 2015-12-27

Barton Fields 2015-12-07
World class golf course and service to match.Never get bored of this place.

Joerg Beringer 2015-11-22
I don't like cart golf and US style intrusive servicing.

Nicola Mick-Kohler 2015-11-15
super golf course

olga 2015-11-13
Fabulous course. It deserves the price

Clive Sims 2015-11-10
Unfortunately it was cancelled after 3 holes due to bad weather. Monte Rei gave us a twilight voucher valid for one year.

Adrian Thorogood 2015-11-02
A great experience and fantastic course. One of the best I've played on and in excellent condition

Doug Montgomery 2015-10-23

Brian Buckeridge 2015-10-16
best course in eastern portugal by a long way.

Chez Carlos Golf Society 2012-10-04
This week, with the start of the Ryder Cup 2012, we were that much more inspired and so we played on the Sunday to be able to go back and watch the singles competition. We played at Salgados Golf Course, just north of Albufeira, set in a beautiful nature reserve by the sea. An ensemble of 15 players gathered under the beautiful Algarve skyes, the perfect conditions to golf in. As you may know, Salgados golf course is rather tricky when the coastal winds pick up. The course was in great shape with impecable fairways and greens - the rough, which was quite deep and punished at times a wayward shot. We played in the morning and the course was rather quiet, which allowed us to get around in a reasonable time. A great sightseeing course, populated by a vast number of migratory bird species that often come to watch you play.

Paul Brown (England) 2010-09-05
This is the second time i have played Monte Rei The experience just gets better without doubt the most beautiful course I have ever played Every hole is a signature hole The course is always in perfect manicured condition And the staff the most helpful i have ever come across They say you pay for what you get but this course is worth every Euro paid Play it you will not be disappointed
