Laranjal on Mon, 6th Oct 2025 Gerry Course in great condition we had a great time . However fairway distance markers are poor and delay play. We walked so no buggy guidance. No half way food or drinks and no water fountains . Drinks buggy met us on hole 13 . €200 tab means you should get the basics |

Pinheiros Altos on Sun, 5th Oct 2025 Course a bit scruffy and some greens patchy in places indicating a lack of investment. Greens also very slow, but still enjoyable course to play. We did hear of a group who got attacked by dogs and the Marshall said it had happened on a few occasions over recent months, but they are genuinely concerned about the problem. |

San Lorenzo on Sun, 5th Oct 2025 Obvious disadvantage is lack of clubhouse and course looks a little scruffy around the edges hence only 4 stars. However, the views and course layout are excellent and the greens were well maintained. Thought it a nice touch they included a packed lunch for everyone in our party at no extra cost. |

San Lorenzo on Thu, 25th Sep 2025 Recommended The review would have been 5 star were it not for the temporary facilities whilst the new clubhouse is being built. A warm welcome and a complimentary picnic box with sandwiches, fruit and water. The course is really interesting with well laid out with holes running inland, along the coast and the salt beds to the east. Very quiet and very enjoyable. |

San Lorenzo on Thu, 25th Sep 2025 Disappointing A shadow of its former self, unfortunately. Cart paths dangerously bumpy. Course poorly presented and badly managed. Single portakabin toilet disgusting. Should be half price or closed and totally renovated while new clubhouse is built. |

Quinta do Lago North on Mon, 22nd Sep 2025 First class like everything else at QDL All of the three courses ar QDL are a joy to play. The North lives up to its reputation as a premium course with championship level credentials. More challenging than the South course from the back tees. High greens fee but worth every penny. |

San Lorenzo on Mon, 22nd Sep 2025 Awful course conditions and poor service to match Such a fall from grace. The former number 2 course in Europe is now not much more than a field fit for grazing cows. Scrubby tees and greens, matted fairway turf, golf carts that were past their prime ten years ago, very slow play and no clubhouse due to this being burnt down a couple of years back. Extremely poor value for money. Do yourself a favor and give this one a miss. |

Pinheiros Altos on Tue, 16th Sep 2025 Hot sunny day on the course We were really concerned following recent reviews , however course played much better than expected. Played Pines and Olives. Pines is a good nine and we managed to find some shade. Olives more open and no shade from the sun. Condition was nowhere near as good which we understand is due to irrigation system failure. However there has been a massive lack of investment in what could be a really good course. |

San Lorenzo on Mon, 8th Sep 2025 Really enjoyed the course. Was a bit apprehensive following the last review stating fairways were without grass but didn’t find that to be the case at all. Used buggy one day and walked another. Greens on good condition and provided a good challenge. Well designed course which thoroughly enjoyed, in much better condition than its neighbour Pinterest altos |

Pinheiros Altos on Wed, 3rd Sep 2025 One 9 hole course closed so confusing to make way round the course . Fairways and greens in bad condition due to disease and lack of irrigation. Only redeeming feature is the club house is very nice |

San Lorenzo on Wed, 3rd Sep 2025 Course was in poor condition. Fairways were bare and buggy tracks were like an off road course. Poor facilities which we knew about. Put us with a very slow pair so the round took forever. Won't ever go back to this course. |

Pinheiros Altos on Mon, 25th Aug 2025 Needs a lot of attention Fairways in need of serious attention, greens have many invasive weeds and bare patches. Could be a good course with more maintenance including condition of the buggy tracks, you will struggle to keep drinks in the bottle. Some temporary adjustments to course layouts which were not explained at the check in. More attention to detail on customer experience. |

San Lorenzo on Sun, 3rd Aug 2025 Best layout in the Algarve 🏌️♂️ The condition lets its down in places and when that improves it would be an easy 5/5 , the greens are in great shape and it’s just the tee boxes/fairways here and there let it down but not by much either. It has the best layout in the Algarve of the courses I have played and gets better and better from the 1st onwards , great finishing holes, I would highly recommend playing it |

Quinta do Lago South on Wed, 30th Jul 2025 South Course - good value Great course, very challenging and some amazing houses you’ll see at you work through 18. Greens run very true, staff seemed somewhat snobby/pretentious (including those at KOKO & Noa Cafe) but overall had a decent experience. Good value. |

Laranjal on Wed, 30th Jul 2025 Laranjal… Speechless The best course I have ever played and you’re unlikely to find better value. Especially challenging given the amount of water, had a fantastic times. Greens were smaller than south course and layout is slightly more compact but it’s definitely my favourite. The course is supreme and the staff were incredibly helpful. Great vibe all around, will definitely be coming back! |

Quinta do Lago South on Tue, 29th Jul 2025 A beautiful but challenging golf course. Beautiful course, but on the difficult side. Pace of play was good. Completed round in around 4 hours. Marshalls did a good job overseeing place of play. Greens & fairways were in good shape. Just stay out of rough & areas around sand traps where grass is thick & hard to get out of, unless you are use to it. Only down side is we couldn’t find a WC / toilet on course. Might be one someplace. Enjoyed the food at the cafe. Friendly staff. |

Pinheiros Altos on Fri, 25th Jul 2025 Poor, to say the least. Not great. Was advised on turning up that the irrigation had failed on one of the 9 holes and that it was a little burnt but recovering. It was pure yellow with no sign of life on the fairways whatsoever and the greens were 25% burnt also. The other 9 holes which had not suffered an irrigation failure was also very untidy and dry. I would not recommend playing Pinheiros Altos currently. |

San Lorenzo on Fri, 25th Jul 2025 Great but not perfect. Great layout, probably the best I've played on the Algarve. Would have been 5 stars if it wasn't a bit dry and untidy in places. Ownership should look at the standard of Quinta do Lago and laranjal for what they should be looking to achieve. Will 100% play the course again but would like to see it restored to it's former glory. |

San Lorenzo on Wed, 2nd Jul 2025 Millionaires Golf We were so lucky to have ‘Millionaires’ golf today. Despite the lack of a clubhouse, we were treated so well, water bottles and a sandwich in the buggy were a nice touch. Yes, there are more famous courses in the Algarve and almost spoilt for choice, San Lorenzo lives up to it’s reputation of condition, picturesque and tricky in places that demand quality shots, but immensely playable. |

Pinheiros Altos on Fri, 27th Jun 2025 Played the Olives 9 and the Pines 9. Preferred the Pines with its wider fairways. Both good courses but not well maintained. With some proper investment could be excellent. But in need of some TLC |

San Lorenzo on Thu, 26th Jun 2025 San Lorenzo is still the best in QDL/VDL Wonderful course @nd considering the lack of maintenance there are only two fairways in need of attention. Sand is good as are the people running the place. |

Pinheiros Altos on Sat, 14th Jun 2025 Sadly gone downhill Disappointing as course has clearly gone downhill. Appears a lack of investment. Fairways were heavily scorched, bunkers untidy with grass growing in some, cart paths in tatters, no starter, halfway house not open and no on course drinks buggy. Really disappointing as could be really nice as on previous visits was. Positives include club house terrace and friendly staff . |

Quinta do Lago South on Sat, 31st May 2025 We were rushed by a 2 Ball behind us and a very slow 3 Ball in front of us. What is very annoying is that there are no signes saying till where you can drive with your buggy, when you pass the line the screen is saying Go Back, taking minutes sometimes to do |

Laranjal on Fri, 30th May 2025 Laranjal- Yes Please 🏌️♂️ As always Laranjal delivers on quality, conditioning and playability. I rate it so highly because it has the flow of courses back home i.e no road crossing between holes. Hole 15 is a ball strikers dream and is so easy on the eye. Laranjal is always on our golf trip play list and I don’t ever see that changing 🏌️♂️ |

Quinta do Lago South on Thu, 29th May 2025 Quinta South one of the best Day 1 of the 2025 was at Quinta South and it was top class as always unlike the golf played ! Course was in great condition and even though it’s a long course you will nearly always find your ball unless it’s in the drink , we walked it with motocaddys and found it easy enough to do. We had an early flight in so went direct from the airport to the clubhouse where we had lockers for our bags, showers and breakfast , a perfect start to the trip , Quinta South is a must play in the Algarve |

San Lorenzo on Fri, 9th May 2025 Don’t bother! Unless you like 5 hour rounds, I’d give it a miss. Tee times every 8 minutes and no visible ranger made it extremely frustrating. Poor condition of the cart paths and general infrastructure. It needs proper investment. |

San Lorenzo on Thu, 17th Apr 2025 Overall the quality of the course was much improved. The greens were excellent and the fairways were pretty good. The tee boxes and cart paths particularly require further maintenance. I was advised this is part of the plan to restore the club house and improve the quality of the course. The staff were extremely welcoming. I would definitely return and look forward to the club being restored to its former glory. |

The greens were in excellent condition, although some of the cart paths need some care. Tees were easy to find. The staff were top class, so kind and helpful. Fabulous customer care, despite their limited working conditions. We will certainly return on our next visit to the Algarve. |
