Laranjal Golf Course
Laranjal Golf Course
Laranjal Golf Course is the Algarve’s hidden jewel of precision and beauty, offering a pure test of golf within the Quinta do Lago resort. Opened in 2009, it was originally an orange grove that was transformed into a visually stunning, championship level design surrounded by rolling terrain and natural lakes. With tight fairways, fast greens, and a tranquil setting, Laranjal has quickly earned its place among Portugal’s most celebrated modern courses.
The course features five par fives, five par threes, and eight par fours, offering variety and rhythm throughout the round. Undulating greens, distinctive bunkering, and subtle water features demand both accuracy and imagination. Framed by umbrella pines, cork oaks, and orange trees, the experience is as visually captivating as it is technically challenging.
Cypress and Salt curates Laranjal escapes that combine championship play with Algarve serenity. Guests enjoy luxury accommodations within Quinta do Lago, curated dining inspired by local flavors, spa indulgence, and private coastal experiences along the Ria Formosa. Laranjal is golf distilled to its purest form, beautiful, balanced, and utterly unforgettable.
