Monte Rei North Golf Course

Jaroslaw Jasina 2026-02-11

Absolutely incredible and demanding course.

Andrew 2026-01-10

The course is very scenic and unforgiving of bad shots. Enjoyed the challenge although didn’t play well sadly. The course was quiet. Staff very attentive

I love playing Monte Rei and it is the main reason I enter this tournament. It is a tough course and I know many people may not agree with me but I love the course.

Joanne Maddams 2025-11-23

Very windy which made the course extremely difficult.

Paul Francis 2025-10-24

WOW, What a golf course ! a must visit for any avid golfer whilst in the Algarve . Visually stunning from every tee box , stunning back drops but again very playable don’t let the slope index put you off , no hole disappointed us and the par 3s are great. 1st class service from arrival until you leave , Course could do with a little TLC around the edges but it’s still Fantastic and as Arnie said … I’ll be back !

Sandy Marr 2025-10-16

A cut above for service and quality. Fantastic Jack Nicklaus signature design in great condition. Many really well laid out holes that make you think your way around the course. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Range is close to 1st tee with complementary balls waiting for you. Highly recommended

Fantastic service first of all from all the staff I had played here before in March 2013 and the course was more lush there are some stunning holes and amazing bunkering greens was running true and in good condition not a cheap venue but I wouldn’t hesitate to play again

Tiernan Barry 2025-09-24

Monte Rei has been exceptional. Thank you very much for everything!

Maurice Rogers 2025-09-22

The course is spectacular and should be experienced at least once. My group played on windy day which made scoring difficult. Condition of the course was okay but considering the cost of the green fee I would expect it to be better.

Monika Franck 2025-09-15

Trotz der langen Trockenheit in einem sehr guten Zustand. Ein sehr schöner fairer Platz ,der trotzdem seine Herausforderungen hat, die Menschen vom Service und im clubhouse waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Jederzeit wieder!

Peter Crafter 2025-09-15

Superb in every way. Best course I have played in Portugal.

Steve Threader 2025-09-14

Monte Rei has long been voted the best course in Portugal for a good reason - great holes, great layout and a fantastic backdrop. It wasn't as green as would be ideal but never anything other than a great experience.

John Mason 2025-09-05

Very enjoyable day. Course and facilities were excellent. Staff were very helpful. We got our tee off time wrong and arrived over an hour early. Staff manage to facilitate our earlier time.

Aubrey Murnaghan 2025-08-30

Excellent staff, experience, condition of course and welcome excellent as always .

André Dill 2025-08-20

Fraser henderson 2025-07-28

Fantastic experience. The golf course is phenomenal and the staff were absolutely fantastic.

Gavin Tucker 2025-06-20

Excellent course, great condition. The facilities are excellent and the staff even better.

Jackie Scollen 2025-06-13

I have been lucky enough to have played this course a few times over the years and love it. I was however disappointed with other things at the club. The buggy seat was ripped, catching our legs as we got in and out of it. No momento was offered to my guests and the ladies changing rooms are now quite shabby.

Larry Simpson 2025-05-05

We are a group of 12 players who travel to a new venue every year and we have sampled many ocurses over the past 27 years. Monte Rei was considered by the Group as rating in the top 10. Long, difficult with hard to read greens. Good service, good buggies. But the pro shop was pretty much non existent.

David Walsh 2025-05-03

We loved Monte Rei North. Wonderful club house and setting, friendly staff, great practice facilities, and the course was a gem. Brilliant design with most holes isolated from the others so you felt as though you were the only ones on the course. Hard to pick a signature hole, there were many we loved, but the short par 4 12th and 13th holes still stick in my memory.

Tom Stettler 2025-05-01

Very nice as aleays!

Mike Moore 2025-04-27

Amazing course. Very challenging Loved it !

Mark Hobson 2025-04-27

In terms of golfing, stunning and brutal in equal measure. The winds were up and the 1st hole would challenge anyone, never mind a group of middle aged guys on their 3rd round in 3 days with broken bodies. After 3 holes I think most people were of the opinion it may be a little too hard for us (handicap range 5 to 20), but after 18 holes we generally all agreed it was one of the best places we have ever played, and is a definite for next year, so look forward with a level of trepidation. In terms of general matters, there were a few small things which we were surprised about, these being that a) the golf carts didn't have any ice in the cooler box, b) the golf cart didn't have tee & ball cleaners and c) that the shop didn't have ball markers in stock which the group wanted as a memento. That said, one of, it not the, best course/venue in terms of the whole experience from arrival to departure ever, and as said will be returning next year.

Lauermann Andreas 2025-04-15

A Must! After difficult Years in good condition.

Mark Foley 2025-04-04

Excellent...very obliging. Great staff. Great condition.

Simon Larner 2025-04-02

Best course I've ever played. Great service from all the staff, will definitely return

Andrew Chambers 2025-03-23

great course and excellent service team there

Ewout Wijkhuizen 2025-02-08

Beautiful but difficult

Max Cornish 2025-02-07

A very nice course which is hard but fair. It was in excellent condition at the beginning of Feb 25 with super fast, smooth greens. Staff and clubhouse very friendly.

Robert Moss 2025-02-01

Fantastic experience from start to finish

Charles Stadnik 2025-01-07

Well looked after from arrival to finish

Jose Fernadez 2025-01-03

Good, great , attractive crew

Sean Verity 2024-12-22

From start to finish well looked after by very pleasant staff. Course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was very good.

Graham Mitton 2024-12-12

Fantastic to see Monte Rei back to being what I should be. The golf course was presented perfectly and top level service too.

Ian Godfrey 2024-11-25

Always enjoy the challenge of Monte Rei and this year was so much better as the course was green and playable compared with the previous year.

Gareth Thompson 2024-10-28

Excellent from start to finish. The level of service received is second to none and although I’d read reports of the course struggling it was in excellent condition. Greens maybe fractionally slow but that is being ultra critical. Overall the best experience I’ve had in Portugal.

Dave Abbott 2024-10-22

I know the course has had some difficult issues with the forest fires and lack of rain, but I personally thought the course was good, the greens were very slow as the grass was longer than normal.

Lauermann Andreas 2024-10-14

Great Place to be

Nick Fry 2024-10-12

Greens were slow. Overall great course

Conal O’Reilly 2024-10-05

Staff and experience was excellent. The course conditions were not to the level expected but understandably so.

Chris Lenzin 2024-09-30

Perfect Day of golf. Best conditions for fairways and fast greens. Just a bit dry in the area surrounding. But No 1 course for the week.

Robert Angell 2024-09-22

The service was excellent people were very friendly and helpful. The condition of the course was not as good as we hoped it would be.

Paul Unwin 2024-06-29

As one of Europe's leading golf courses, I had been looking forward to playing Monte Rei for a long time. The greeting on arrival is impressive, and the helpful staff put your clubs on buggies, and park the car. You are then taken to the driving range and chipping/putting area, which is very good. The build up to playing the course definitely gives the impression you are getting the 'Monte Rei experience'. So to the course - the layout is excellent, but the condition was poor. That included fairways and greens. We played Quinta de Cima the following day, and it was in far better condition. So the general feeling in my group was of disappointment. 220 euro's is a lot of money, so we expected a course in pristine condition. Unfortunately that was not the case, and I will only return when reviews indicate a course in better condition. 220 euro's is not value for money.

Keith Golesworthy 2024-06-07

First Class, in every eay

Michael Webber 2024-06-04

The best course, but not in the best condition. Still played well, great service and facilities. Probably another year for it to get back to it's best

Toine Rooijmans 2024-06-02

Staff were super friendly and very professional. All facilities were excellent. Driving range super nice and they even clean your clubs after the round. A top tier experience.

Ronan Lewis 2024-05-27

Outstanding. Course, staff, everything perfect.

Norman Bennett 2024-05-20

Fabulous golf course but in disappointing condition. Should not be charging full rate.

Alistair Becq 2024-05-12

Poor course maintenance, very slow play!

Thor Hellenaes 2024-05-10

Fantastic resort, a course with a great layout. Fast greens, dry and yellow fairways. Extremly deep bunkers, but great type of sand in them. Second best course in Portugal after Dunas at Terras Da Comporta.

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2024-05-08

Fantastic Experience, Golf Course constructed through valleys, and therefore you hardly see anyone else playing the course. But you need your A game, or lots of sleeves of balls! The staff were fantastic and tapas was wonderful!

Garry Hebert 2024-05-06

The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. Monte Rei is a beautiful course but due to the drought conditions the fairways were almost unplayable. Considering the condition of the fairways I did not feel that it was worth the cost.

Richard Turner 2024-04-23

Beautiful course and clubhouse and excellent service. Fairways were very bare in places probably due to the water situation and greens not as good as normal but OK. Lovely place to play golf.

Frans Pastoor 2024-04-23

Best golfcourse I ever played

Philip Ward 2024-04-04

Amazing service and incredible course. Condition was a bit patchy in places.

James Sutherland 2024-04-01

Lovely course and again the staff were excellent. Fairways were poor compare to the twice I’ve played there before.

Lauermann Andreas 2024-03-21

Normally a great course, but fairways and greens are not very good

Kirk Baert 2024-03-20

Great course

Dominic Novais 2024-03-03

The course is a championship course by experience (obstacles everywhere demanding a good shot, precision and strategy). Loved the layout. Only negative was that the course looked dry and not lush. Otherwise a privileged experience.
