The 18-hole San Lorenzo Championship Golf Course has been consistently voted one of the best in Europe for over 30 years. Designed by US gοlf course architects Joseph Lee and Rocky Roquemore, the course is elegantly situated within the protected Ria Formosa Nature Park and estuary, and boasts holes that run alongside saltwater marshes, freshwater lagoons and the cooling Atlantic Ocean. Located in Quinta do Lago, San Lorenzo Golf Course has become a grand showpiece for the Algarve with its superbly manicured fairways, outstanding natural beauty, and tournament ready conditions. Golfers are guaranteed breath-taking surroundings, exceptional greens, and hole after hole of challenging and entertaining golf.
San Lorenzo Golf Course was opened in 1988 amidst a range of exceptional natural surroundings that stretch from the edge of Quinta do Lago, through the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve and out to the Atlantic Ocean. The picturesque setting features a host of towering pine woods that open up to spectacular sea views and distant mountain backdrops; as well as offering a beautiful habitat for over 70 bird species, including herons, hoopoes, white storks, coots, black-winged stilts and the rare purple gallinule. The course itself is laid out in a delicate figure of eight, at the heart of which lies the San Lorenzo Clubhouse, a golf pro shop, comfortable changing facilities and a welcoming bar and restaurant.
