Laranjal Course at Quinta do Lago
The Laranjal Course, the newest addition to the prestigious Quinta do Lago golfing estate, opened its fairways to golfers in 2009. Set amidst the picturesque Laranjal orange groves from which it derives its name, this stunning 18-hole, par-72 championship course is a testament to golfing excellence and design ingenuity. Crafted by the esteemed architect Jorge Santana da Silva, Laranjal extends over 6,480 meters of impeccably maintained terrain, offering a distinctive and challenging golfing experience in the heart of the Algarve.
Renowned for its outstanding beauty and natural features, the Laranjal Course is characterized by its narrow fairways and well-defined greens, requiring precise shot-making and strategic thinking. The course layout incorporates five beautiful lakes, umbrella pines, cork oaks, and orange trees, adding to the scenic beauty and strategic complexity of each hole. The use of Bermuda grass on the fairways and Penn A4 on the greens ensures top playing conditions throughout the year.
Laranjal is acclaimed for its diverse range of holes, including the challenging par-5 16th, where water hazards and strategic bunkering demand careful navigation, and the par-3 11th, which requires a precise tee shot to a green surrounded by water. The course's signature holes offer a mix of challenge and beauty, capturing the essence of what makes golf in the Algarve so special.
As part of the Quinta do Lago resort, the Laranjal Course benefits from the same high standards of luxury and service that have made the resort a benchmark for golfing holidays. Whether you're a seasoned golfer seeking a new challenge or a beginner looking to enjoy a round in one of Europe's most beautiful settings, Laranjal offers an unforgettable golfing experience.
The Laranjal Course at Quinta do Lago represents the perfect blend of beauty, challenge, and sustainability, making it a must-visit for golf enthusiasts exploring the Algarve's rich tapestry of world-class golf courses.
