Quinta do Lago Golf Courses |
Quinta do Lago South
This is the course that has been used several times for the Portuguese Open.
The course favours the long hitter, but requires the player to pick a particular
route to score well. Although both anti-clockwise loops, the first nine suggests
a draw, whilst the second favours a fade from the tee. Holes 3, 15 and 17, feature
lakes that must be negotiated. Holes 8,10,15 and 18, are the most testing for the
scratch player while Holes 2,3,5,12, 13 and 17, offer the best ´possibilities of
birdies. An enjoyable experience for players of all standards.
Quinta do Lago North
The course has four great par-5 Holes requiring power and accuracy to
play them well, also providing superb views. The par-3 Holes are well
influenced by the wind. Hole 14 is outstanding. The par-4s are all doglegs
except for for Holes 10 and 13. Precision driving is vital to set up the
chance of a low score. The lakes on Holes 13 and 18 claim many victims.
The course favours the player who can draw the ball.
