About San Lorenzo Golf Course
Style: Championship Parkland with Coastal & Woodland Holes | Length: 6,238 m | Par: 72
Opened in 1988, San Lorenzo was designed by renowned American architects Joseph Lee and Rocky Roquemore. Their vision took full advantage of Quinta do Lago’s natural terrain — weaving through rolling pine woodland, saltwater lagoons, and wetlands teeming with wildlife. The result is a course of exceptional beauty and balance, where every hole offers a new perspective on the Algarve’s coastal charm.
Immaculately maintained year-round, San Lorenzo is both elegant and demanding. The opening holes guide you gently through shaded woodland before giving way to spectacular seaside views along the Ria Formosa Estuary. Signature holes such as the 6th and 7th, which hug the lagoon’s edge, and the 18th, a water-lined finisher, ensure an unforgettable finale. With its combination of strategic bunkering, pristine greens, and timeless character, this is championship golf at its finest.
Clubhouse and Amenities
The San Lorenzo clubhouse offers a sophisticated yet welcoming retreat, featuring a bar and restaurant serving excellent local and international dishes — perfect for relaxing after a round.
Facilities also include a well-equipped pro shop, PGA professional tuition, practice range, and short-game areas, ensuring everything you need for a premium golf experience. Equipment hire is also available for added convenience.
Guests seeking luxurious accommodation can stay at the Dona Filipa Hotel: a five-star location in Vale do Lobo, just a short drive from the course. Blending classic Portuguese charm with modern luxury, the hotel offers elegant rooms, a stunning beachfront location, and exceptional service.
