Monte Rei Golf Course - Map & Reviews

In the latest Golf Digest rankings, Monte Rei has again been confirmed as the #1 golf course in Portugal and also impressively, #27 in the World! Acknowledging the stunning panoramic views to the Atlantic Ocean, the Golf Digest judges felt the design is a blend of modern and classic – wide fairways, aggressive bunkering and shallow, angled greens that shape around hazards including a variety of American-style water features.

Set in 1,000 acres in the Eastern Algarve, between the wonderful Serra do Caldeirão mountains and the Atlantic Ocean lies a haven of peace and tranquility that is the jewel of Portuguese Golf, the exceptional Monte Rei Golf and Country Club. 

In addition to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, consistently rated number one in Portugal, and a magnificent clubhouse Monte Rei.

Having already established as the best course in Portugal, Monte Rei has begun construction on its second course, another 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Course.  Cementing its place at the pinnacle of European golf resorts, Monte Rei will be one in a select list of clubs worldwide to have two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses.

This Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course has been challenging players of all abilities and handicaps from across the world since 2007. Set against the backdrop of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, the 7182 yard, par 72 course blends seamlessly and elegantly with the surrounding landscape. 

Wide forgiving fairways weave through mature trees and valleys, creating a unique test on every hole alongside spectacular vistas and greenery.
