Designed by the American Joseph
Lee, San Lorenzo was voted
Continental
Europe's second best golf course by the Golf World magazine. The
course's
impeccable upkeep and its rare beauty make this an attractive challenge
for any player.
Situated in the
Quinta do Lago
development and forming part
of the Ria
Formosa Natural Park, a round on this course begins with an
enticing
but
almost unachievable Par 5, before continuing to the three following
holes
along rolling, pine tree fringed fairways.
It is from hole number 5
however,
that the most extraordinary part begins, offering wonderful views over
the Atlantic Ocean. At hole number 8 the course turns back inland and
faces
the largest of its two lakes.
For the next four holes the
course again
turns seawards and ends with a Par 4 hole which green is surrounded by
the waters of the second lake. A remarkable end to a remarkable course.
