San Lorenzo Golf
San Lorenzo offers the golfer a rare beauty
and unique golfing experience. Situated in the
exclusive Quinta do Lago estate, the course runs
parallel to the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa
which is always oozing with wildlife and alive with chirpy sounds
of nature. The course is a very enjoyable 6,238 metre par-72
layout, but one can be forgiven to be distracted by the panoramic
beach views and inherent beauty. Designed in 1988 by American
golf architect, Joseph Lee and his partner, W. Roquemore, the
course is heavily trafficked by club members. It is owned by Hotel
Dona Filipa, who run golf packages throughout the year and
pre-booking is advised. The layout presents 18 cleverly carved
holes that weave their way through lakes, pine wood forests
and white sanded beaches that are dotted along the Algarve
coastline. The well conditioned course presents a golfer with fast
greens, elevated tees, fairways bunkers and a vast array of water
hazards.San Lorenzo has won recognition and acclaim by global
golfing media and press. Golf World magazine previously voted
San Lorenzo as one of the top five courses in Europe.
