Quinta da Ria Golf Course
Quinta da Ria Golf Course was the first of two 18-hole golf courses in a spectacular location on the coast of the eastern Algarve, known locally as 'Sotavento'. Quinta da Ria, situated in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, has already been described by experienced golfers as the most breathtaking golf course in the Region. In fact, there will be no houses, or villas, or apartments to distract you from your game: just you and a breathtaking nature. A nice open golf course, very thick rough, lower edges bunkers and some water coming in to play on some holes.

Beautifully presented golf course, the best tee beds in the Algarve! However 5 hours and 20 minutes for a round of golf especially when using buggies is not acceptable.
Not once did we see a marshal controlling the course and the pace of play.
It’s a shame

Lovely views, sadly some of the course a bit wet under foot and not my best game.

Because of the rain only 9 holes, but a nice course to play

Course excellent nicely manicured from tee to green. It seemed that they were pushing extra people in. Constantly had to wait before taking shots. Etiquette on the golf course seems to be forgotten when your messing around looking for golf balls for longer than3 mins you should let people through if your keeping them waiting. It should be monitored by a steward on a buggy to help speed of play.

Very good; the food a lunch time could be more imaginative and they seemed to be a little short of waiting on staff

Very slow play. Even the score card had 2hr 30min marked on for 9 hole play time. Play has gradually got slower here over the years and we will probably not include it in our next golf holiday.

No complaints. It would be nice to start at the first tee in the morning rather than the 10th.

This was our second time playing Da Ria, the course is very good with two very different nine holes, the back nine are very picturesque and also quite challenging with the front nine being slightly up and down par 4s. Don’t like to be too critical as they are all nice to play. The only downside to our day was the pace of play which took us 5h 30mins , we were waiting on every shot!
We will definitely be playing again!
