San Lorenzo Golf Course
San Lourenco Golf is a par 72 course located in Quinta do Lago and is considered one of the best and most beautiful golf courses in Europe. The fact that this is an award-winning course is no coincidence. Bordering with the breathtaking Ria Formosa Natural Park, some of its holes are blessed with what can only be described as exquisite beauty, complemented with salt water lakes. If the first holes present no major surprise or challenges, after the 3rd, closer to the estuary, San Lourenco starts to reveal itself. After the 5th hole, a par-3 and the course's shortest, you're introduced to a dolgleg, stroke 1 sixth hole where your main challenge will be to avoid the dense shrub, so make sure you get your distances just right. As you get to the 7th, life is by no chance made easier but you still get the bonus of the outstanding views from this elevated tee before you have to focus on how to get around that green almost entirely surrounded by water.
On the back nine, the 12th is the most challenging hole on San Lorenzo, featuring a deep chasm along the left of a very narrow fairway. Holes 13th to 16th also face the ocean with the latter proving to be the most demanding par-3, featuring a whole 180 m carry to a shallow green. Seventeenth is, again, extremely beautiful but still falls short of the beauty that awaits you on the last hole. It is a great finale and one that will remain in your memory as it has an excellence that is renowned worlwide. It is, without a doubt, a course for special occasions, that will provide you with unforgetably beautiful moments. Of course such a unique course had to have unique requirements concerning the booking of your green fees and that is only possible if you are a guest at the 5 star Dona Filipa Hotel nearby or by contacting a selected few like Tee Times who will make the required arrangements to book what will be one of the most special games of golf you will ever play in your life.

Would have scored higher but a group of Germans were in front of us, most of whom couldn't play golf. They wouldn't let us through and there were no marshalls.

Wem gutes Essen wichtiger ist als gutes golfen, der möge über das momentan fehlende Clubhaus klagen.
Uns hat der San Lorenzo einen unvergesslichen Golfrag beschert. Tolles und abwechslungsreiches Design. Sehr gute Qualität der Fairways und Grüns. Dass wir hier keine 10 Punkte geben können, liegt allein daran, dass man vom Service mehr darauf achten sollte, dass die Handicap Vorgaben eingehalten werden. Auf den zweiten 9 Löcher sind am Ende drei Flights auf einen Vierer aufgelaufen, die offensichtlich "nur" die Platzreife hatten und auf dem teils schweren Platz völlig überfordert waren. Schade.
Wir kommen aber auf jeden Fall wieder.

Sadly there was only a temp club house / snack bar which is outside so was quite cold and made us not stay. However the staff were very nice and accommodating plus the course was brilliant. Even without the facilities we had a great day and will definitely be returning.

Very good maintained course, no clubhouse at this moment. We have to wait to long at the flights in front to us.

People were polite and helpful, the course in reasonably good conditions but the cart paths are terrible and detract from the overall experience. No club is ridiculous in this day and age, ownership should be ashamed. Purely for the golf it is a worthwhile experience.

What a great golf course with some truly amazing holes. This will definitely be one to remember the greens were amazing and very fast. It’s a shame about the clubhouse and I’m sure they’ll get this sorted soon but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back to play this course again in the future.

San Lorenzo was a great test of golf today. The reception staff were warm with there welcome and the complimentary pack up as the clubhouse is a temporary one was well received. The course was in good condition and the greens were fast and true. We will come back as long as the green fee does not become overpriced.
