Quinta do Vale Golf Course
Course information & details
Description:
Seve Ballesteros only put his name on a handful of courses, and Quinta do Vale, set in a natural valley above the Guadiana River with Spain visible across the water, is one of his most distinctive. The layout itself tells you as much: six par 3s, six par 4s, and six par 5s, a deliberately unconventional structure that keeps the round from ever settling into a rhythm.
Water is the story on the front nine, coming into play on most of the opening holes and demanding real discipline off the tee, especially with the coastal breeze that tends to pick up as the round goes on. The back nine moves into more sheltered, undulating ground, giving some relief before the closing stretch asks for one more decision. This is a course built on options rather than a single correct line, true to Seve's own game: every hole rewards the golfer willing to take on a risk, while still leaving a safer route for anyone playing it smart. Bring a few spare balls for the water, and treat a calm day here as a gift.
Facilities include a driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant with sweeping views back over the valley and river. Quinta do Vale pairs naturally with the other east Algarve courses nearby for a golfer looking to build a full trip around this quieter, less-crowded corner of the region.

Directions:
To travel by air, the district capital of Faro has an international airport which can be reached by a 3-hour flight from most European capitals. The modern road network (IP1; A22; International Guadiana Bridge) means that the cities of Seville and Lisbon are just 2 hours’ drive away along virtually traffic-free motorways, even at peak holiday times. The Algarve is also linked to the European network of railways and its many ports and marinas make it easily accessible by sea.
