Quinta do Lago () and golf breaks in Quinta do Lago Golf Hotels

Quinta do Lago has evolved into a place of constant inspiration, where quality of life is measured by proximity to nature, an active, outdoor lifestyle, and treasured family moments, since its humble beginnings over 50 years ago with Andre Jordan's first impression of this magnificent natural landscape.

Quinta do Lago is paving the path for families to experience true quality of life via close connection to nature and endless inspiration for good health and happiness in the future.

Quinta do Lago's reputation as a global leader in golf sustainability has grown. Quinta do Lago, located in the heart of the Ria Formosa, has always been enthusiastic and inspired by the responsibility of protecting its natural environment. As a result, just 9% of the whole land has been developed, as shown on the original blueprint.

For the first time in its existence, the golf resort was recognized for "major strides" in resource management in the areas of materials, water, and energy.

Quinta do Lago has been awarded the IAGTO Sustainability Award for Resource Efficiency for 2021. The awards, which are presented in collaboration with the Golf Environment Organisation (GEO) Foundation for Sustainable Golf, honour golf facilities across the world for their efforts in sustainability. They recognize excellent performance and commitment across three basic areas of sustainability – nature, resources, and community – and are currently in their eighth year.

Quinta do Lago was singled out for special recognition by the judging panel for its remarkable work in lowering its areas of maintained turf, investing in an updated irrigation system, and using recycled water to maximize efficiency. The resort was also commended for investing in a fully electric fleet of golf carts and hybrid golf course maintenance equipment, as well as collaborating with local authorities to test and develop renewable energy solutions.

"The subject of sustainability in golf has never been more important, and to be recognized for the work that the resort is doing towards this is a huge honour and very fulfilling," said Sean Moriarty, chief executive of Quinta do Lago.

"We've always been a resort that's inspired by nature and focused on the environment, and we've made a long-term commitment to being a high-profile champion of sustainability."

"As a resort, we are united in our commitment to supporting nature and our communities while conserving resources, and the great thing about golf is that it can be a leader in so many ways, from eco-system services, wildlife conservation, and health and well-being for people of all ages to job creation and economic value creation through local supply chains."

The €7 million makeover of Quinta do Lago's award-winning South Course is our most recent environmental accomplishment. Quinta do Lago has received remarkable enhancements that not only improve the playing experience but also place it at the forefront of environmentally aware of golf.

In 2014, renowned American architect Beau Welling renovated the North Golf Course with the help of Paul McGinley, the captain of the 2014 Ryder Cup winning team. The course has a new layout that was developed to the most demanding specifications at a cost of €9 million.

The South Golf Course has been significantly restored to further enhance the gorgeous environment of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, which is a favorite among European Tour professionals. The course has earned considerable appreciation for its strategically placed hazards and variable difficulty over its 18 holes, and is regularly ranked in Golf World magazine's "Top 100 Golf Courses in Europe." The South Golf Course, which has hosted the Portuguese Open on eight occasions, is considered one of Portugal's top golfing venues.

Laranjal Golf Course first opened its doors in 2009, and the 2011 Portuguese Travel Awards named it Best Golf Course. The par 72 championship course, which was once an orange orchard, is located 2 kilometers east of the resort in the Ludo Valley. The fairways are magnificent, and the greens are well-defined.

Five par fives, eight par fours, and five par threes, all seeded with Bermuda on the fairways and Penn A4 on the greens, ensure the best putting surfaces in the country and one of Europe's best golf experiences.
