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. www.quintadolago.com/en/ 29
