Dona Filipa & San Lorenzo Golf Resort boasts a wide selection of excellent courses, including San Lorenzo Golf Course, Pinheiros Altos and Penina Golf Course. Other nearby courses that are definitely worth checking out are Vale do Lobo and the iconic Quinta do Lago. San Lorenzo golf course Just a 10-minute drive from the Dona Filipa Hotel, the resort is located in the beautiful Quinta do Lago, where the course offers picturesque views throughout the round. The course runs along the Formosa River and the nature reserve, which presents challenges as you need to stay on the fairways. The course was designed by American golf architects Joseph Lee and Rocky Roquemore and their unique layout makes the experience of playing golf in the Algarve unforgettable. Signature holes The undeniable signature hole of the beautiful San Lorenzo Golf Course is without a doubt the 6th hole. Golfers are greeted by a glorious view of the lagoon directly in front of them on the tee, as the hole gently winds around a dogleg. A hole that’s all about risk and reward, golfers can try to cut the corner and drive straight over the trees from the tee, but you’ll hit the dense bushes if your ball isn’t accurate. Once around the corner, the green opens up, although you should aim well to the left as all the balls congregate on the right side of this green, making for a challenging putt.
