The Algarve
San Lorenzo Golf Course · Almancil
Why groups love it
Holes along the Ria Formosa lagoon, with herons and flamingos for company.
The prettiest round in the central Algarve and a favourite with groups who like their golf peaceful. The closing holes by the lagoon are a memorable way to finish an afternoon. Access is limited, so we book well ahead and treat it as the highlight of the itinerary.
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.”
