0800 043 6644With the sea on one side, and the mountains towering on the other, Quinta da Ria's setting is awesome, and the golf course lives up to its billing too. The 6,579 yard layout is built around the five man-made lakes that are the focal point of the landscape, which also provide the course's irrigation.
More than 300 trees have been planted around the course, and there is a restriction on construction, ensuring that the integrity of the environment remains intact. The signature holes are undoubtedly the 16th and 17th, which are carved through the lakes, and can either make or break your round.
These outstanding holes and the stunning surroundings help to explain why Quinta da Ria has become a mainstay of a golf holiday around the Eastern area of the sunny Algarve.
Excellent greens and some very challenging holes - beautiful views to the sea - fantastic
Nice course with a lovely layout, lots of different holes really enjoyed both courses but favoured cima .but would not hesitate to play both again
Had a group of 8. Personally my favourite course in excellent condition. Very picturesque course. Would of liked a refreshment buggy around more often, only came once.
Great course in great condition. No drinking fountains on the course, no halfway hut or mobile drinks service though.
Best course of the week - terrific! Slight criticisms - bunkers were wet (there had been no rain) and, whilst greens were fast and true, practice green was very much faster!
A good course and set-up.
Great course with good greens and lovely views. Play however can be very, very slow and there was no marshalling whatsoever to try and keep things moving. Lots of French and German holiday golfers who appear to have no knowledge of golf etiquette.
Great course great views sadly no buggies had been booked , not sure whose at fault
General consensus this was the best course we played, (ria, cima & vale). Greens were lightening quick but place and facilities top notch! We will come back!
Great golf course.
Beautiful course with immaculate, fast & true greens. Well balanced with water adding to the challenge
Not as well maintained as Cima and quite tight fairways which opened up towards the end. More interesting after the 11th. Again, great for recreational golfers but probably a bit boring if your handicap is below 12-15ish.
Spot on . Greens are brutal compared to uk winter 😳
Great course, just wet in places due to amount of rainfall
Very good courses
Enjoyable
Service at clubhouse both check in & cafe excellent - course was wet and buggies allowed but churned the fairways up - older age clientelle so was slow
Not enough buggies but course good test
Had not realised we would be required to play with another couple. Fortunately they were German, spoke very good English and knew the course which was an advantage.
great course , bar & restaurant was not open
Very enjoyable round of golf on a tough but very scenic course
Only downside arrived 10.45 for a 11.40 tee, told we were not off until 13.10. So poor communication by Yourgolf. Also told by reception that de Cima round on the Thursday was 13.10 aswell contrary to Yourgolf booking confirmation of 12midday!!
Excellent course, set in a very scenic location on the seaside, enjoyable. Gr8 course
Hottest day of trip .still windy and playing longish great views on course by the sea everyone enjoyed the trip .all transfers tee times and buggies booked in advance. No problems with any
Favourite course of the 3 we played, conditon of the course was fantastic.
same as Quinta De Cima experience. The course is in excellent condition as always. From tee to green it's pretty much immaculate. Quinta da ria is beautiful with some holes on the ocean. V picturesque. Unfortunately it's become painfully slow ( we played three rounds here during the week and at weekend) stuck behind groups that had a professional with them who was also putting took forever and we pretty much lost the will to live. Will not return.
Very poor service from staff on course, difficulties in sorting out our buggies which ultimately involved almost 4 of their staff, and to be honest got the day off to a very poor start. A private function was on after the golf and made drinks very hard to get, we would have had food but no confidence that it would arrive before our taxi called for us. Doubt that any of our party would return here. As a separate issue the transfers from and to the airport and the golf courses were excellent.
Beautiful course with a few water hazards. Scenery as well as fairways and greens excellent
The club swapped the tee times so we played this course on the Sunday rather than the Friday as booked. This wasn’t a major issue. Both da Ria & Cima were in very good condition. The 2 main issues we had a group were 1. On arrival on the Friday were advised that Your Golf had only paid for 3 buggies where it clearly stated on our confirmation that we had booked and paid for 4. The lady at reception was helpful and provided the 4 buggies. This applied to the Sunday booking also. The 2nd issue was that the Clubhouse was closed on both days and if it wasn’t for the flexibility of the same staff member (on both days) we would not have had access to refreshments post the round. Given the hot weather this was very poor organising by Your Golf. We were advised that all golf operators were advised that the clubhouse was closed. The secondary impact was that our booked transfers had to be amended so that we were not left sitting at the clubhouse for 90 mins with no bar amenities. I had to contact Your Golf to arrange a change of time for pick up.
It was a busy Sat but no food offering & wont be any throughly Jul / Aug - probably something clients should be made aware of
This makes a mockery of the WHS if this is easier than my home course at 600yds longer and I lose a shot 😒 Great course a must play if in area.
Again another beautiful presented course with some stunning holes on the back 9 especially along the coast, faultless again! Apart from the clubhouse closing at 6.30pm
Sun shine yipee .course abd facilities all excellent .played ut before was exactly what we expected
Great day
Nice course, happy to play there again, but will try somewhere else just for a different experience
One of the best kept courses on the Algarve. Trees are main hazard and greens are tricky and fast. Good sea views and water comes into play on several holes. If they let the rough grow it would be hard.
Another enjoyable course suitable for all.
Good easy walking course
Challenging but playable...great condition and a beautiful setting. A must play!
Buggies expensive
The course is a good test of golf and tested our group , it is a bit disappointing to get onto the 10th tee to find that a 4 ball cut in. When asked how they managed that they said that the after 9 holes they fancied something to eat !! This obviously made our round. A lot longer than we hoped.
Disappointing that the greens had been hollow tined a few days before. Someone should have informed us when we were booking that this may be the case.
A terrific layout with some great views. A very fair course with some tough holes and some real birdie chances. Easily walkable course which is just as well as no buggies were available.Greens in good condition and lunch at the clubhouse was excellent.
To busy, tee times to close together, location outstanding great views over the Ria.
A perfect companion to the Cima. In great condition and an enjoyable, interesting course. Friendly, helpful staff. Fabulous views. Just a delightful experience.
Would love to see more etiquette
everything perfect
Served by the same clubhouse the course as markedly better than Quinta De Cima. Great views of the sea and the coastline , more challenging as the bunkers encroached onto the fairway approach. Kept us interested to the end.good course
Decent Always is
Excellent golf course, stunning sea views, just let down a little by very wet (sometimes boggy) fairways and semi rough. Greens slow. Despite this would play again. The new clubhouse area is looking good. It was not ready for our trip (we were advised so no problem) but the temporary facilities were very good.
Really enjoyed this. Some tough holes over and around water but fun.
