Quinta de Cima Golf Course

Quinta de Cima shares an estate with Quinta da Ria at Vila Nova de Cacela, in the eastern Algarve, between the Ria Formosa and the hills inland. The ground is gently hilly, with centuries-old olive and carob trees and some orange groves.

Rocky Roquemore designed the 18-hole, par-72 course, which opened in 2002 as the estate's championship layout. Fairways are generous, but bunkers are plentiful and a stream runs through much of the course. It is the stiffer test of the two and suits stronger players. The shared facilities include a practice area, a nine-hole pitch-and-putt academy course and a clubhouse.
