This spectacular 18 hole golf course is in the Ria Formosa Natural Park and spreads along an gently undulating piece of prime golfing land down to the Ria Formosa itself and with a stunning view of the sea. It is a par 72, comprising two loops of 9 holes with each loop having 2 par 5's, five par 4's and two par 3's. The total length is 6016 metres. Five lakes were strategically built around the course, near greens 5, 10 and 14. Hole 16, a par 5, is played between the two biggest lakes. The green of the par 3 17th also brings one the lakes into play and also has an island where local bird-life nests. |

Besides the beauty the lakes bring to the course, they are also used as water reservoirs for irrigation and are nourished by a stream, in play on some holes. The greens, smoothly undulating, are well protected by bunkers. Greens, tees and fairways are seeded with Bent Crenshaw and the rough with Poa Pretensis with Fescuas. There is no real estate construction at Quinta da Ria. More than 300 trees, such as olive and carob trees have been transplanted in order to maintain the ancient border of the course and the typical features of the regions landscape. This has given this newish course the look and feel of a course which has been established for many years. From any point on the course, one can see both the mountains and the sea. The surrounding orange groves and vineyards contribute to make the landscape of the course even more beautiful. |

Martin Mayo said "Two great courses and well worth playing. We found Da Ria the harder of the two mainly due to the extra length which meant many 2nd shots were a long iron or a wood."
Brian McCutcheon said "A good test of golf, shorter than Quinta da Cima, with beautiful views of the sea and magnificent beach. Watch out at the 10th hole. Unless you hit a really good drive it's better to lay up short of the water. 14th and 16th are a bit quirky, especially for the first time player. Hit a 5 iron off tee at 14 and a 3 iron or rescue at 16. Driver at either hole is looking for trouble."
Phil Albutt said "Stunning setting and some amazing holes to suit all levels of ability. quality of the fairways and greens was excellent. The reception staff were okay but the waitresses were brilliant. Food was a good average but service made up for any shortcomings. Can't wait to go back."
Derek Ash said "Would play the course more often if buggies were allowed on the fairways - even a 90 degree rule is better than having to stick to the paths 100%."
Harry Sayers said "Course was in absolute immaculate condition when we played it in early May 2007, probably the best kept and manicured in the Algarve. Well worth the money to play and a must play course if you are in the area."
