Quinta do Lago North provides a complementary experience to its celebrated South neighbour, sharing the same natural setting of cork oak woodland within the Ria Formosa Natural Park near Almancil. While the South course carries the greater tournament pedigree, North offers a more forgiving but still thoroughly enjoyable round through the same beautiful landscape. The cork oaks provide natural definition to the holes, and the fairways wind through a landscape that changes character as the day progresses with the light shifting through the canopy. The resort's facilities — including the impressive practice areas and the clubhouse offering views over the estate — are shared between the courses. For those spending several days at Quinta do Lago, North is a natural complement to a South round, and many guests consider the combination one of the best two-day golf itineraries in Portugal.
