Quinta do Lago South is widely regarded as one of the flagship championship courses in the Algarve. Originally opened in 1974 and designed by William Mitchell, this par-72 layout has hosted the Portuguese Open on numerous occasions, confirming its tournament credentials. Set within the heart of Quinta do Lago, the course winds through umbrella pines with several holes running alongside the Ria Formosa estuary.

Water hazards and well-placed bunkers demand careful strategy, particularly on the back nine where accuracy into the greens is essential. Immaculate conditioning and a strong finishing stretch make it a standout option for those seeking a proven championship test in the Algarve.
