Quinta Do Lago Laranjal: 2026 Access and Booking Update
Laranjal is the quiet third course at Quinta do Lago, laid out inland among orange groves and umbrella pines in the central Algarve. Many golfers leave rating it the most enjoyable round of the three, so here is how access, fees and booking work for visitors in 2026.
The news: the value round at Quinta do Lago in 2026
Quinta do Lago remains one of the Algarve's marquee golf addresses, and in 2026 Laranjal is the course that quietly wins visitors over. With the resort continuing to invest across its three courses, the standout for travelling golfers this year is the value to be found in multi round packages that span Laranjal and the lakeside North and South courses.
The practical message is that booking ahead matters more than ever in the busy spring and autumn windows, when the central Algarve fills with golf trips. Securing a package across the three courses early is both the cheapest and the surest way to lock in the tee times you want.
The course itself
Laranjal was designed by Jorge Santana da Silva and opened in 2009, the third and most recent course at Quinta do Lago. It plays as a par 72 of around 7,100 yards from the back tees and has five par 5s, a generous, strategic layout set well inland from the resort's famous lakeside holes.
Its name, meaning orange grove, comes from the mature citrus among which it is routed, with cork oaks and pines framing wide fairways and some of the best conditioning in the Algarve. It is enjoyable for a broad range of abilities while still offering a real test from the medal markers.
How to play it in 2026
Access is easy. Laranjal is a resort course open to visitors throughout the week, with tee times booked online or through the resort and trip planners. Buggies, a full academy and the resort's restaurants and hotels are all on site.
Green fees are indicative and seasonal, from around 105 euros in the shoulder months to about 185 euros in peak season in 2026, with multi round packages across the three Quinta do Lago courses offering the best value. Those figures change by season and year, so always confirm the current rate and availability directly before booking. The course sits in Almancil, about 20 minutes from Faro Airport.
Our take
Our take is that Laranjal is the course that completes a Quinta do Lago trip and often becomes the favourite. The lakeside South is the championship showpiece, but the calmer inland setting of Laranjal, among the orange trees, makes for the more relaxing and strategic round, which is why most visitors play both.
For 2026 the plan is straightforward. Book a multi course package across the three layouts, travel in spring or autumn for the warmest settled weather, and reserve early, because the central Algarve is one of the busiest golf regions in Europe in those windows.
