San Lorenzo
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.
