What it costs to play Quinta do Lago
Quinta do Lago is one of the most prestigious golf addresses in the Algarve, and the green fees sit at the top end of the region to match. As a guide, the flagship South course starts from around 178 euros in high season, while the North and Laranjal courses run from roughly 140 to 185 euros. Low season, twilight rates and multi round or resort packages bring the cost down, and they are the smart way to play all three.
The resort has three full championship courses across pine woodland and lakes near Almancil, about 20 minutes from Faro airport, which makes it an easy base for a golf trip. Below is the current fee picture, how the three courses compare, and how to book. Always confirm current rates and availability directly before booking.

How to play all three
The South is the round most visitors come for, a classic tree lined layout that has staged the Portuguese Open several times and is famous for the long carries over water on the closing stretch, including the demanding par 3 15th and the lake guarded 18th. It is the flagship and prices accordingly, so book it early for the spring and autumn peaks.
The North, reworked and reopened in 2014, is the more modern, strategic test, while Laranjal sits a short drive inland among orange groves, a beautiful and usually quieter round that many golfers rate as the best value of the three. A multi round package or a resort stay is the most efficient way to play all three, and it spreads the cost.
Quinta do Lago sits in the heart of the golden triangle of the central Algarve, minutes from Vale do Lobo and a short drive from Vilamoura and Faro airport, so it pairs naturally with the region's other courses.
