We enjoyed to play this course by nice and sunny weather twice on weekend But it was too full we had to wait on every hole At some holesthe course was not in a good condition

Samantha Harding 2024-10-19
Very warm welcome by the starter and lots of information but the course in general felt a little untidy and lacking maintenance. Not sure it's worth the green fee charged

Ronald Van De Hoef 2024-10-18
The course was too wet for buggies so we had to walk, but that was ok there. No slow play, compared toetje other courses, although also fully booked. Coursefacilities are strange located. The clubhouse was about 500 meters of the drivingrange and was already closed at 18h.

Branko Krmpotic 2024-10-14
Well maintained greens, tee boxes and fairways. Not the best layout as golfers need to cross active fairways to get from the green to the next tee box. Some great views of the Ocean. A few forced carries (one with a blind shot to the pin on a par 3) – this can get really tricky when the wind picks up. Buy the map or the app.

Paul Stevens 2024-10-13
no buggies - not even electric so a hard slog - the course should buy more buggies as the players would be willing to pay so they would soon be makng a profit.

Michael Rice 2024-10-09
visited about 6 times over the years and this was the worst year. Generally scruffy, bunkers in bad shape, tees bad. Also building works going on around the 6th not marked out as drop areas.

Richard 2024-09-26
We would have scored this higher - it is a very good course - but it was far too busy with queues from the 1st to the 10th tees and lots of crossing fairways at the start. Despite the wait, we were always being hurried by the staff to keep moving, with no way to make progress.

Ilse Fischer 2024-09-25
a bit disappointing, not well mentained. club house is very hard to find.

Marie Hurdsfield 2024-09-24
Fairways a bit unkempt, nice greens, good clubhouse and service

Mike Sandle 2024-07-24
Nice but still a bit scruffy

Martin Fishman 2024-06-05
Voucher immediately accepted New club house/pro- shop - course now playing in a different order - not a problem Got me off earlier than my tee time, which was good

Gary Watts 2024-05-21
Our booking including buggies was all in order thank you. The tee time starter was excellent. The course was in good condition apart from the greens which were in poor condition. Hospitality facilities were excellent.

Darren Holderness 2024-04-16
It was very busy and probably could have done with a bit of care in some places. They did however offer us a beer to make up for it but we couldn’t take them up on that as we needed to get to the airport

Winkelmann Brigitte 2024-03-10
Very busy; lots of players partly in an outfit not suitable for golf. The starter had a good eye and let us start on tee 4 because of a very slow group just startet on Tee 1. We made up holes 1 to 3 at the end of the round, that's why the caddy master asked critically why we were playing 3 extra holes... We had 2 GPS in the car; both sent us to the Driving Range.

Paul doody 2023-11-13
I know there was a lot of rain over the last few weeks but the course was poor, and the worst we played in 3 days. The greens and tee boxes were not good

Mr Ronald Lee 2023-11-05
After 3rd hole 3 groups on each tee, took just under 5 hours even with marshal on course! Bit expensive and not in good condition.

John Cleary 2023-10-26
Course in very poor condition and clubhouse very expensive

Daniel Bjork 2023-10-11
Too many players on the course, at at certain point there were 6 groups on the same hole! Absolutely madness! Bad experience…

Yngve Kristiansen 2023-09-21
Nice greens and decent fairways. Bunkers could have been in better shape.

Egberink 2023-08-24
Course in bad condition

John Morrissey 2023-08-12
Course is tricky with tight dog legs on many holes but that’s the Great challenge for golfers. However disappointed a little with the greens as a ariation holes still making them a little tougher to putt on not running so true at Thai stage . Overall a great experience and weather was beautiful

Jonathon Harbridge 2023-07-20
A bit scruffy in places and probably poorest course/ condition

Graham Sims 2023-06-25
This was the 3rd time we played this course on this trip and the condition was improved on previously with better coverage on the fairways. The tees are uneven with poor overall coverage, the bunkers also poor and there are some scruffy bare areas around the greens. The overall design of the course is good and there are some attractive views towards the sea. It was very hot and we couldn’t get a buggy as they were all booked out, advice is to pre-reserve if one is required.

Graham Sims 2023-06-16
Hotel is good but a bit remote from from other facilities (restaurants/shops). Wouldn’t recommend for groups of golfers. Service and staff helpful and friendly. Golf course is an attractive challenging layout, greens and fairways in good condition. Bunkers and green surrounds could do with some improvement. Staff friendly and helpful

Andrew Grosvenor 2023-05-17
Course was in poor condition fairways dry and very tightly cut. Tee's poorly maintained and greens very warn in places

Manfred Ermel 2023-05-12
Quinta da Marinha, place in very bad condition, all dried up, greens good. Space very confusing you have to cross fairways several times to the next tee. Overall the worst golf course.

Maurice Lynch 2023-03-27
Course not in good condition, very overcrowded, too many crossovers. Would not recommend.2

Philipp Kurtenbach 2022-11-06
Some areas muddy. Fairways average

Stephen Frampton 2022-10-22
Nice course but not as good as Penha Longa or Estoril Golf

Christine Weber 2022-10-17
it was raining so much. the sandwich at the halfway house are expensive like dynamons. (9.50 euro for a tuna fish sandwich)

Toby Long 2022-10-09
Although buggies we’re booked, none were available.

Graeme Veale 2022-09-28
A good course with many nice holes featuring tree lined fairways and some watery challenges! Will definitely revisit.

Derek Moriarty 2022-09-24
Poorly maintained.

Pascal PLICHTA 2022-08-07
Beau parcours. Les trous sont tous différents et interessants à jouer.L entretien est bon.

Henrique Santos 2022-07-12
Lovely course. Always bright and very enjoyable!

Annemarieke Vermeulen 2022-07-04
Nice course with well maintained greens. Love the ocean view. Some holes were quite long. But you can walk with a trolley. We had lunch at the resort with a view on hole 18th

Ingrid van Loenhout 2022-06-28
Compact course

Gareth Carpenter 2022-05-25
Really nice course and extremely helpful staff who did everything to provide us with an extra buggy. It was a little limited there afterwards for refreshments but it didn't detract from the day

Cliff Morgan 2022-05-05
Not quite up to the standard of Penha Longa on the day, but very challenging. Quirky layout, where you cross over the previous hole a few times.

olivia Johnstone 2022-04-26
A bit of an uninteresting course which needs a bit of TLC

`Jan Aufenacker 2022-03-22
Nice course to much rain. We stopped after 10 holes. Because of the rain difficult to rate our experience

Barry Putney 2021-09-28
The course has a nice layout but i found the overall condition needed some work. A lot of the fairways were very bear with lots of weeds growing around the fringes to the greens. I got the impression the golf course takes second place over the hotel and needs more time and money spent improving the course.

michael kent 2021-05-29
ok but over priced

Rolf Zimmerli 2021-05-15
Nice small holiday course

Mark Davies 2019-12-19
great course , friendly staff

Poulain 2019-11-18
Perfect experience

Hans Ericsson 2019-11-04
Nice course a little bit slow round trolleys not best quality

Tacio Carvalho 2019-10-24
Very interesting lay-out. Greens,fairways and tee boxes are on very good shape. The bunkers are not.

Risto Hotti 2019-10-18
Slow play

Andrew Molloy 2019-09-16
Has some great holes and greens were good. All around it is a little untidy which is a shame as it is a great layout.

Richard Estevao 2019-08-26
Maria du ceu Sousa from teetimes.pt was brilliant and very helpful. True professionalism with a lovely calm and welcoming attitude

Sonsoles Fernandez Ludena 2019-08-22
Very nice golf course, easy to walk, good maintenance, a little bit crowded.

Victor Buckley 2019-08-20
An old style golf course. Fairways lined with fir trees. Varied hole types. Super test of golf. Great welcome from the starter . A little disappointed by the "clubhouse" and driving range. Also there was a lot of crossing to get from greens to tees. Over all satisfaction very good.

Rajinder 2019-08-10
The golf course is very basic. Needs proper maintenance at most places. Putting greens had thick grass, making them very slow. Layout of the golf course is very crowded where fairways and tee boxes are into each other.

prato 2019-07-30
Too much wind price very expensive in comparison with others Golf

Oskar Solver 2019-07-22
The course itself had a nice design, and the fairways was great. However, we had not been informed that all the greens had been sanded, which made it almost impossible to make any good putts due to the holes in the greens. We did get a discount on a golf cart, which was nice of the staff.
Tee Times reply: Dear mr Solver. Thanks for your feedback. Sorry if it was unnoticed for you, but we do have information about "hollow tining greens from 15/07 till 03/08 on our web site. Glad you enjoy the layout of the golf course.

POULAIN Patrick 2019-07-04
Nice place,Nice golf course but the Club house remains under the level of the course

Jean-Guy Hottiaux 2019-06-05
Excellent course, challenging but very scenic. Staff is nice and helpful. Small pro shop with a good choice of brands. Hole 19th a bit small and terrace a couple of meters behind the practice tees. I failed to find showers

Rami Sainio 2019-05-08
Wet, rainy, almost empty course. I was a little bit surprised about the price based on the fact that it was clearly off-season. Even a little bit unsatisfied.

Poulain 2019-05-06
Nice golf course

Geraldine Robson 2019-04-29
Friendly and efficient staff. Course a good tester.

Helena Stucky de Quay 2019-03-31
Nice as always

Soren Stougaard 2019-03-30
A fantastic golfcource, try it !

Schmidt 2019-03-14
Nice golf course. Fair to play, in good condition. Afternoon the wind comes into play, making the long par 5 on 18 even longer. Friendly staff.

Guntis Shantars 2019-03-06
Very good quality golf course

Helena Stucky de Quay 2019-03-03
Warmth welcome, fantastic golf course

Poulain 2019-02-17
Great course but the practice area is not as good Many pedestrians walking on the course without any idea of the danger

Howe Damian 2019-02-06
Played this course for the first time on this trip. It has 6 par 3's of various different difficulties. The reception is located at the driving range and there are no locker rooms as such. Buggies are €45 to hire. On the day the pace of play was very slow due to the two groups on front of us who at times seemed to be playing as a 5 ball and switching around between groups. There was no marshal out on the course to keep things moving. After our round we had to wait in the Hotel for the rest of our group to finish and were charged €6 a pint for local beer.

Philippe Weyens 2019-01-10
Beautiful course.

Tapani Poikkimäki 2018-11-06
Condition is not best. It was disappointment!

Antony Gunn 2018-10-22
nice course to finish tee time of 08.48 on sunday was good but expect a long round if teeing off later as get's really busy, but overall nice course to play

Martyn 2018-10-16
Friendly and flexible staff.

Mike Beetlestone 2018-10-10
I played badly again blamed the course unfairly. But not as good condition as the other courses, some of fairways were patchy and too many par 3s

Oliver White 2018-10-08
best course of the 4 we played.poor facilities,no changing rooms,showers

Tiina Nykänen 2018-09-28
Very nice service and staff , course in good condition

Liam Kearns 2018-09-25
Good society course. Good service by course staff. Poor clubhouse. Poor availability of food and drink on course.

John Carrigan 2018-09-10
Very nice course, with some outstanding holes.. greens a bit poor in areas..Starter said the first was hole 11 on GPS watch .. check yourself..

Beers 2018-09-01
It was our first time playing the course and we found we had to pay very close attention to the signs for the next holes. Greens not in good condition. Club house was simply a pro shop with no changing facilities.

Poulain 2018-08-22
Usually golf courses say when greens are caroted which was not the case If I have known I would have played in another place Bad experience,nothing to do with tee times of course

Chrizelle 2018-06-27
Enjoyed our round, course in good condition, road directions to course not so good.

Guido Goerges 2018-06-23
Average golf course. Good service. Poor training areas.

Mark Thomson 2018-06-23
Nice course lack of club house spoilt the experience. Was very busy on the day and did not made to feel welcome.

Ian 2018-06-22
Really enjoyed our round here even though we played in high winds , we would definitely come back again.

Richard Trotter 2018-06-18
Golf course in good condition generally. Greens in particularly good condition.

Nick Jones 2018-06-06
The clubhouse was very small but staff friendly As the course is flat, most of us elected to walk. The course is challenging due to fairways being tight with many turns and water hazards.. Fairways and greens were generally in good condition.

Achim Motte 2018-05-02
Very nice and well maintained course, a bit short on the back nine...

Timo Lehto 2018-04-30
We had two rooms with good wiev facing the Pool. Rooms had a very confortable king size beds. Breakfast was great. So was the food in all restaurants. The only complaint was that the saunas were off almost every day.

Poulain 2018-04-30
Nice golf course

Marie-Joëlle DUFOUR 2018-04-29
Excellent

Mats Jernström 2018-04-28
Course was in good condition, fairways and greens hard but even. Layout good, with some very beautiful views over the Atlantic.

Vaclav Hruby 2018-04-19
Unfortunatelly, there was rainy during first few holes. But the big problém is, that course was not correctly displaed in golf watches (Garmin, TomTom). Signs towards next tee are not so big a almost all the time you heve must crossed samo other holes - really misleading. But generall good feeling from very nice golf course.

Jon Gynne 2018-03-24
Great golf experience.

Olivier CHERON 2018-03-04
Good service

Johannes Soma 2017-12-05
A nice day on an interesting and challenging golf course, that may need some maintanence.

ZHANG Jianguo 2017-11-30
Club House too temporary and simple. Réception correct. Desappointing hole arrangement which downgrade the course design. No indication whether a bar service or locker rooms are available. Does not worth the comparatively high green fee.

Kjell Karp 2017-11-29
Played 3 rounds on the course. Still some problems finding next tee.

arnaud samson 2017-11-20
Personnel sympathique, beaux départs, beau parcours, greens au top, proshop bien fourni Points d'amélioration : la signalisation. Nous avons eu du mal a trouver le golf. Sur le parcours c'est un peu le labyrinthe ! Et puis le seau de balles à 6€ !! C'est notre premier parcours au Portugal, peut-être est ce le tarif habituel ? Arnaud

Kjell Karp 2017-11-03
Playing the course for the first time - finding the next tee not always easy. Otherwise nice. Friendly staff.

Jiri Hornik 2017-10-30
In perfect conditions! I believe you enjoy it the most when you wake up early and start as the very first.... the scenery of each hole appears to me nicer then....

Maude MacGillivray 2017-10-17
The Golf shop was busy but the staff was very helpful in getting us our rentals and getting us off on the course. The cross oversto different holes are rather confusing for the first time but we had a great time.

Volders 2017-10-16
Just perfect. Beautifull golf course

Ingar Kvebak 2017-10-15
I was a bit stressed that i realized the tee- time was changed from 1600 to 1529, but It was luckily invented in time. The Course was good, and I manager to play all 18 holes before sunset.

Claude Fatta 2017-08-27
Cher !! Mais beau

Adrian Bold 2017-07-27
Brilliant, fantastic greens great course

Henrique Santos 2017-07-25
Interesting beautiful course. It is a pleasant course to play, however very long! The holes order doesn't make sense and you have to walk too much between holes. Despite that it's a beautiful view! Beautiful course.

Ingo Bollow 2017-06-29
Nice and well maintained Golfcourse, no locker room at all

John Norsworthy 2017-06-25
Nice course that we all enjoyed . We feel that the resort could spend some time repairing all the areas between each hole , cart paths etc..

lars 2017-06-17
To expensive and a few very difficult holes.

Ross Kinnear 2017-06-09
Decent course - greens good. Strange layout with too much crossing over between holes.

Jose Manuel Castaño Iglesias 2017-06-03
Excellent field, very good in all aspects, very good state, the line of the expected. If a little confusing to find the way of the order of the tees of the holes.

Phil Johnson 2017-05-29
The golf course was fine, but staff largely unhelpful, didn't initially tell us that we had been paired with an Irish couple (who then failed to urn up), the round took over 5 hours due to 6 x groups of 4 balls, playing an individual competition (of their own) and we not given the opportunity to play before them, despite asking to do so and being a 2 ball. No attempt to get the groups to play faster by any staff, despite rules being posted in reception that the first 9 holes should be completed in 2 hours and 9 minutes (maximum), expensive range balls of poor quality and poor mats with limited tee pegs.

Larry Byrne 2017-05-18
Excellent course in very good condition.

Diarmuid O Neill 2017-05-11
Excellent golf course very good staff. Some criss crossing between holes. No locker room facilities.

Pertti Kuisma 2017-04-20
The club house has been move the place and wasn´t so niceOfcourse there was all we need. The course was nice . Couple of very hard holes. nro 3

Tapio Potila 2017-03-02
First time at Quinta, basicly ok, but some what confusing layout since for example grossing faiways to get to next tee etc. are not typical. Otherwise I would rate quinta just a bit over average.

Martin Chamberlain 2016-08-10
not much in the way of catering facilities

Cecil 2016-06-19
A good resort course, probably a little over played. The old clubhouse and pro-shop have been sold; the replacement facilities next to the hotel are unimpressive and food and drink are available after the game on the hotel terrace.

Giovanni Ionta 2016-06-09
Very poor greens, most of them were cored and had bare patches. The quality of the golf course has gone downhilL since it was rearranged this year. Played the Pestana Beloura the day before and it was in far better condition

Peter Chapman 2016-06-06
In general very good holes although the layout is a bit confusing at times. Some of the bunkers need some tidying up. It is a pity that there is no real clubhouse any more now that the hotel and golf course are owned by different companies.

BAURAIN 2016-05-18
Landscape is beautiful, and the golf course architecture is various. Good course.

Claus Rottinghaus 2016-05-17
Excellent course. Temporary clubhouse unfortunately, but we stayed in nearby hotel.

Clas-Goran Pettersson 2016-03-20
Nice course

Lau Tuxen 2016-03-15
A Wonderfull course. The views and the overall shape and condition of the course was magnificent.

Heinz Hoffmann 2016-03-11
Average golf course, nothing spectacluar. Condition was good so.

Mehul Patel 2015-11-08
Good course but it's resort course so heavy usage.
