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.
