Quinta Do Lago North
In case one designer wasn’t enough, the Quinta
do Lago North Course has the boasting rights of
requiring two architects. The first was William
Mitchell (who designed the South Course) who
was responsible for 1 to 5 and 15 to 18 in 1974.
The other holes were designed by Joseph Lee, which opened in
1989. The terrain was to inspire many future designs. The umbrella
pine trees crop up to catch the errant golf ball, while the creeping
bent grass fairways are typical to Mediterranean courses. Regular
players here are convinced that a person who draws the ball will
succeed best, given the anti-clockwise arrangement of the holes.
