Quinta do Vale
Quinta da Cima
A championship course of lazy rhythm and hypnotic flow , Quinta de Cima Golf is embraced by centenary olive and carob trees , as well as orange groves and vineyards . It all combines to maintain the region ’ s original landscape and it is a charming course to play . It is also testing with the subtle movement and shape , and big undulating greens . Similar to its sibling , Quinta da Ria , the course was designed by Rocky Roquemore .
Quinta da Ria
Quinta da Ria Golf situated in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve is often described by visiting golfers as one of the most beautiful courses in the region . The Rocky Roquemore design is perched above the Ria Formosa estuary with views over the sand and tidal waters of the Nature Reserve below . The carob and olive trees define fairways and establish the course ’ s rhythm while five lakes make timely appearances . The back nine are particularly impressive as they take you close to the beach , providing stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean .
