Overview

Why it matters

San Lorenzo remains one of the Algarve's most atmospheric classic resort rounds. The course moves through pines and toward the Ria Formosa, where water, marsh, and coastal light give several holes a sense of place that manicured inland golf cannot imitate.

Its appeal is not only nostalgia. San Lorenzo still asks for disciplined driving and committed approaches, especially when the wind touches the exposed holes. For travelers seeking golf Algarve courses with history and scenery, it remains a mandatory stop.

San Lorenzo had the most memorable setting of our central Algarve rounds, especially near the water.
