Accolade for Algarve golf course

ONE of the Algarve's most popular golfing venues, Quinta do Lago's #Laranjal, has been hailed by Germany’s Golf magazine, as its favourite course in southern Portugal.

The par-72 layout – which was opened in 2008 – was rated the best of a selection of first-class venues played by the magazine’s reviewing panel.

Built on an old orange grove, the course features fast, giant-sized greens, water features, and Augusta-style bunkers.

In its review, Golf says: ‘Laranjal is one of the most beautiful and best places – the place is a secret in the autumn waiting to be discovered … The accurately-cut fairways meander around the former orange tree plantation, the greens are mega-fast while the bunkers dazzle with their powder-fine white sand. It is in sensational overall condition; wide fairways and little rough guarantee pure fun.’ 

Quinta do Lago's North Course, which was opened last autumn, also won glowing praise from #Golf. ‘The condition of the course is sensational even at this early stage. The fairways are like carpets and it has strategically-placed bunkers and fast greens with several plateaus. Everything is spic and span. This place provides the standard for all other projects and underlines, once more, the supremacy of the #Algarve as a top golf destination in Europe.’
