Monte Rei The Monte Rei golf course is set in the picturesque foothills of the Eastern Algarve, with sweeping views of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course opened for play in June 2007. This par 72 Championship golf course measuring 6567metres from the Tournament tees offers a truly unique design; with water coming into play on eleven of the eighteen holes. The golf course’s presentation is highly individual, each hole a design gem blending effortlessly into this natural canvas, from its ingeniously shaped and sculptured bunkers, to the impressive presentation and attention to detail making every hole as remarkable as the next. Monte Rei is truly worth a visit when in the eastern Algarve.
