Characteristics
The Quinte da Ria and Quinta da Cima Golf Course spreads alongside of the impressive landscape of the nature reserve Ria Formosa with its century-old trees and lakes, rich in species of animals. Especially Quinta da Ria offers a captivating view on the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains of the backcountry. Since there will be no building of immovable properties, the Cima Course is however also a paradise for golfers who want to enjoy pure nature.

First class golf
Reviewed July 5, 2012
Make time to play both of these courses. They are quite different, but each has it's own charm and certainly each has it's own challenges. Cima is a great championship style course. Ria is a slightly shorter track but with some cracking holes. For instance the last three holes on Ria are very notable. A great golf club where the quality of service matches the golf. The folk here are lovely. A wonderful experience. Recommended.
Great place
Reviewed September 2, 2011
This place Quinta da Ria and Quinta de Cima is the kind of courses you would like to keep to yourself. What lingers here is an impression of happiness, of having discovered something personal, but which you have to chare with others.

If you're happy paying for a buggy but not getting one, the place is fine.
If you are happy to receive the buggy you paid for (on the second day) 5 minutes after tee time, thereby disrupting the entire schedule of the already overbooked course and accepting long waits at all tees, the course is fine.
If you want to walk from the most remote part of the site because the buggy's battery is no longer working, you've come to the right place.
If you are a "handicapped person" and want to be explicitly insulted when you point it out, you have come to the right place.
If you are happy with the fact that the driving range is completely or largely closed and is in an absolutely catastrophic condition and (group) training is impossible, you have come to the right place.
The management of the site is, on the one hand, overwhelmed, and, on the other hand, unfriendly and incompetent.
So if you want to spend a lot of money on rainy days, Quinta da Ris and Quinta da Cima are the right places for you.
This criticism is NOT directed against 1golf. eu but rather only at these two courses.
