Quinta do Lago North
The terrain is superb and typical of the area, sandy and littered with umbrella pines trees. In the spring, the rough is covered with a blanket of wild flowers, heather and gorse. The Fairways and tees are covered with Bermuda hybrid with a cool season mixture of grasses, which provides year-round, top quality swards. The greens are sown with Creeping Bentgrass Penncross, giving a fast, true putting surface, and which provide good all-year round putting surfaces. The bunkering is incomparable, both on the fairways and surrounding the greens and gives the course an advantage over many of similar quality and design.

Had to play the North course again today due to a prob with our booking we were due to play the South but this gave us an opportunity of re visiting the north course again it was a lovely day the course played very well although it looked tired in a few places buggies were great we were well looked after. Tad expensive but I do like QDL. Had a pretty good round and if only I hadn't 3 putted the second and not put my drive in the water on the 18th I might have broken a 100 on a very tough course.

This is the worst of the 3 Quinta do Largo courses and, although similar to the South course it's not a patch on that one. Club house OK although there is quite a bit of traffic through at this time of year.

This is the second time I have played QDL North buggies are recommended simply because some of the holes are quite a long way apart. Greens are quick and true par threes are long and challenging. I am going back with the lads in two weeks time and simply can't wait.

Compulsory buggies when we played, and just as well, as getting from some greens to the next tee took quite a while. Generally quite a good pace of play though, and at least the par 5's were challenging unlike many Algarve par 5's at other courses.
Greens were quick and true. We were left alone by the marshalls, and the par 3 "Hawker" as one of the reviewers called her; was pleasant and not pushy, and the money raised was going to a Faro orphanage.

this course was prob the second best i have played on only being tipped by torrequebrada in torremelinos due to the last few greens on the back nine that were pretty sandy and had lots of repair patches on them. but what a course. it was such a great course nice and tight with lots of tree lines fairways and i had the game of my life round it. truely stunning views and the food service in the bar and grill was fantastic. can only fault it for the greens on this occasion

Nice, but preferred the South course. The course Marshall's can be quite annoying if you don't go round quick enough and the nearest pin hawker can spoil your concentration.

Not a bad course with very little rough. Bunkers are located in strategic places for the low ad high handicapper. The greens are expansive and very fast.
The facilties aren't too great with a reception and drinks machine... thats it.
A buggy will cost you 50 euros but it does have GPS. A power buggy will cost 20 euros. Better to go for the buggy as it was sore on the feet walking.
The most annoying part was the way you were hurried along by the marshalls.
Best scenic hole for me was the 12th with the water.
Still unsure if I would play this again.

The course is immaculate abd with no strict adherence to buggy paths it is a joy to play. The second shot over the water to the 12th green inspires me year on year.
