Why groups love it
A Jack Nicklaus Signature design among cork oaks and pines in the eastern Algarve.
Immaculate, quiet and generous with space, with each hole framed on its own so the round feels private. Service is the draw as much as the golf: buggies stocked, halfway house attentive, nothing hurried. Worth the extra drive east for a group's marquee round of the week.
From our groups
“We’ve taken golf trips to Scotland and Ireland, but this was the smoothest by far. Portugal Magik arranged every tee time at Monte Rei, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, and our clubs were always waiting at the bag drop. Our driver knew the quickest routes and some excellent seafood spots. The eight of us are already planning next year.”
“Four couples, with half of us golfing and half not, could have been complicated. Instead, everything worked perfectly. The golfers played Oitavos Dunes and Penha Longa while the others explored Sintra with a wonderful guide, then we all met for dinner in Cascais. Not one detail was missed.”
