Quinta da Cima Golf Course

“Quinta da Cima is a true golfer’s golf course. The complete absence of housing on the fairways creates a pure, uninterrupted experience that is incredibly rare to find. It is a strategic layout that rewards accuracy and provides a stern but fair test in a stunning natural setting.”

Robin Couchman, Portugal Golf Holiday Expert

Located within the tranquil boundaries of the Ria Formosa Natural Park near the historic town of Tavira, Quinta da Cima is widely regarded as one of the finest championship layouts in Portugal. Designed by the acclaimed architect Rocky Roquemore, this par-72 course offers an authentic and secluded golfing experience. The fairways wind through a beautiful landscape of rolling hills dotted with ancient carob, olive, and almond trees, all without a single villa in sight.

The layout is defined by its wide, inviting fairways, yet it demands careful management to navigate the numerous strategically placed bunkers and natural water hazards. A meandering creek comes into play on several holes, adding a significant layer of complexity to the round. With its consistent championship-level conditioning and peaceful atmosphere, Quinta da Cima remains a firm favorite for those seeking a high-quality challenge in a pristine environment.
