The 18-hole San Lorenzo Golf Course has been consistently voted one of the best in Europe for over 30 years.
Designed by US golf course architects Joseph Lee and Rocky Roquemore, the course is elegantly situated within the protected Ria Formosa Nature Park and estuary, and boasts holes that run alongside saltwater marshes, freshwater lagoons, and the cooling Atlantic Ocean. Located in Quinta do Lago – less than a 10-minute courtesy bus ride from the hotel – San Lorenzo Golf Course has become a grand showpiece for the Algarve with its superbly manicured fairways, outstanding natural beauty, and tournament-ready conditions. Golfers are guaranteed breathtaking surroundings, exceptional greens, and hole after hole of challenging and entertaining golf.
San Lorenzo Golf Course was opened in 1988 amidst a range of exceptional natural surroundings that stretch from the edge of Quinta do Lago, through the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve and out to the Atlantic Ocean. The course itself is laid out in a delicate figure of eight and features a host of towering pine woods that open up to spectacular sea views and distant mountain backdrops; as well as offering a beautiful habitat for over 70 bird species, including herons, hoopoes, white storks, coots, black-winged stilts, and the rare purple gallinule.
Testimonials
Great Feb Golf Break
Just returned from a week’s golf break. What a great week - a difficult week for hotel staff but you’d never have known; staff were so welcoming; breakfast was fantastic; we had 2 x evening meals (inc Valentines menu) in Kamal and they were of the highest quality; golf shuttle worked so well; both San Lorenzo and Pinheiros Altos were in good condition, clearly benefitting from the winter rain and some decent growth conditions.
Lovely week in a great hotel.
This is our second visit to this hotel and both have been wonderful. Lovely staff, great comfortable rooms and excellent food. I really struggle to understand some the the negative views. Is definitely 5 star for us. The rooms may not all be sparkling newly decorated, but are large, clean, very well equipped and maintained.
Had good bar food and our one night in the restaurant was excellent.
For our second week we are staying in a 4 star Pestana hotel also in the Algarve and it’s like a tired basic Travel lodge in comparison.
Kangaroo Club
By far the best thing about the hotel (if you have children) is the superb Kangaroo Club. Beatriz who oversees the operation is an absolute star who the kids gravitate to because of her warm nature and enthusiasm. Our five year old daughter is usually hesitant about going into kids club but was extremely keen to do so every day. There were excellent crafts, activities, computer games/movies, an outside area with games and a trampoline.
Get in touch with us for any questions or assistance.
We’re here to help!
