The golf

The three courses

Monte Rei Golf & Country Club

A Jack Nicklaus Signature design and one of Portugal’s most prestigious layouts, Monte Rei is renowned for its immaculate conditioning, strategic bunkering and demanding par‑72 test. It hosts the welcome dinner and features multiple times in the trophy schedule.

Quinta do Vale Golf Resort

A classic East Algarve championship course, Quinta do Vale combines wide fairways, well‑placed hazards and fast, true greens in a relaxed resort setting. It’s a favourite for winter golf thanks to its parkland character and excellent year‑round playability.

Quinta da Ria

Set within the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Quinta da Ria offers one of the region’s most scenic rounds, with several holes running alongside the lagoon and views towards Cacela Velha and the sea. The Rocky Roquemore‑designed par‑72 layout is both beautiful and engaging for all levels.
