Quinta do Lago Laranjal Golf Course

Laranjal takes its name from the orange grove it replaced, just east of the main Quinta do Lago resort near Almancil, close to the Ria Formosa. Five lakes and large, flat-bottomed fairway bunkers shape much of the course.

Jorge Santana da Silva designed the 18-hole, par-72 layout, which opened in 2009. The front nine runs around the edge of the property and the back nine sits inside it, with some tight corridors where mounding helps keep wayward shots in play. It is more forgiving than the North and South courses. Laranjal has its own driving range.
