A great course
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed March 5, 2020
Single handicap player, great layout, great quality faiways and greens, a very good challenge.
One of the best courses we played around Faro, just Monte Rei was better

Great course architecture and excellent condition
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed October 26, 2023
Naranjal may not be the most spectacular of the QdL courses, but for me it is the most beautiful. Fair cut, excellent condition of the fairway, semi-rough and bunkers and lined with orange trees everywhere. It will also be part of my program in the future when I am back in the Algarve.

Again and again beautiful and difficult
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed January 4, 2022
We played the course again after a 1 year corona break and didn't remember that the greens are so heavy.
The speed is comparable to the other courses in the area, but the undulations are very special.
Lying on the green doesn't mean anything here.
Respect who leaves the field without a 3-putt.
Otherwise, the place is still well maintained and fun.
The clubhouse still does not offer any great gastronomy, but is sufficient for a snack after the round.
In the package with the other Quinta courses, the green fee is also appropriate.

Highly recommended
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 21, 2021
We played the course on December 3,2021.
The reception, the cleanliness and the space are absolutely convincing.
The place is varied, difficult and very well maintained.
The buggies are equipped with GPS and correspond to the high standard of the place.
Even if the GreenFee is not a 'sloppy', in comparison to other places it is justified, since there are no real estate near the square, no street, etc.

Great course
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed June 9, 2021
We played the course at the end of May 2021 and were very impressed by the golf course. The course is beautifully embedded in nature - with many orange trees - and is in a quiet location (no holiday villas that you would otherwise like to find in Portugal along the golf course). The tees and fairways were well maintained and the greens in perfect condition. We were very lucky that hardly any other players were out and so a relaxed round of golf with great experiences was possible - we'd love to come back!

A little overrated, but very nice
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 18, 2019
The range is nice, but a little out of the way. There is no birdie book / stroke saver which is a rudeness to green fee players. A heavily frequented place, the staff friendly nonetheless. The restaurant is poor - both in terms of choice and friendliness of the staff.
The course itself is very compact with some very / too close course guidance. The terrain is rather flat, but about 80% of the golf cart players are on the go. The members are friendly but hectic - we played the 18 holes in 3.5 hours, but were overtaken by 2 flights. There are no toilets on the whole course (!). Very quiet area, only along the lane 18 there is little traffic.
The course is as well maintained as the other two QdL places. Despite the good weather, some of the back nine fairways were uncomfortably wet and spongy. The layout is moderately varied.
All in all clearly after the QdL-South course, but clearly before the QdL-North course.

Varied outside of any development
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 2, 2018
Played on 29.11.2018. The flat 18-hole course (no cart required) with driving range is the northernmost of the three courses belonging to the Quinta do Lago Group. It is located a bit away from the village and the other two places, but in a development-free area, so without the usual holiday villas on the edge of the fairways in absolute peace and nature. Instead, orange trees everywhere, from where the square also has its name. The layout is varied with some water hazards and always well placed bunkers created. Every now and then, even tall ingrown trees are in the way. Nevertheless, most of the discounts are open and high HC should get along well from the front tees. The biggest challenge is certainly the strongly undulating and fast greens. A three-piece can happen quickly! The condition was basically very good, despite the heavy rains in November. Especially the bright very fine sand in the bunkers looks very good. Alone on the green 15 the feces of the waterfowl on almost the whole green, which probably have their domicile there, something disturbed us. The green fee is 133 € in November for the region, unfortunately, at the upper limit. Who rents a Cart (Comfortable and with GPS) pays another 50 €. But the place is there and the frequency of the players shows, it is also paid. If you want to play all three places in the Quinta do Lago group, you can book a slightly reduced package (€ 340 is not a bargain). The start times can be viewed, booked and paid online via the homepage. The staff in the small but nice clubhouse, as well as the starter were all very friendly. Since we started with Cart directly behind a four-flight (Walker) with cart, the starter recommended the start of tee 2 and after the 18 then stop the 1 to play in the aftermath. Thankfully we accepted the offer. Since we could pass two flights in the course of the round we were able to complete the lap after 3.5 hours. Despite the high green fee is at least once recommended the round here.

Tourist place
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed October 25, 2018
First of all: The course is first class maintained, the bunker edges are sharp, the greens perfect and the staff friendly and accommodating.
But: The course has no difficulty but was apparently trimmed to drive the largest possible number of paying golfers over it. Therefore, there is no rough and hardly bushes or bushes for 8 min start and warning words of the starter just not to lose the connection. Someone before us apparently lost it anyway - we played for more than 5 hours.
The gastronomy is small and has the charm of a cafeteria.
All in all, I would not give up here for well over 100 € green fee.

One of the most beautiful places in the Algarve
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed April 17, 2018
This course really offers pure golfing pleasure. Pretty flat, he can easily be played without cart. The fairways are full of variety: Numerous strategically well-designed bunkers and water hazards require precise play. The fast greens have it all! Unlike many other places in the area, the resort is surrounded by beautiful nature and is thus very homogeneous.
The negative aspect is at most the rather moderate clubhouse.
The restoration deserves no marks. Nevertheless, 5 stars are fine for me.

Nice alternative
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed November 8, 2017
Well-kept, flat backyard that offers a real change from the squares in the residential areas of Valle do Lobo and Quinta do Lago.
Numerous orange trees along the fairways give the place its name and invite you to have a snack.
Due to the topography, the course can be run very well and offers a variety of fun with a few water hazards and strategically placed bunkers.
The clubhouse certainly can not quite keep up with the other places in the area and has a rather clear map.
This did not detract from the quality.
Overall, a place that does not have to hide from the other places in the area and should be played when it comes to the game itself.
At hole 19 you are sitting somewhere more beautiful.

Green Fee 150 p. P
Buggy 55 € Rangeballs 5 euros clearly too expensive for a basket for this place!
The course design is rather boring.

And very well maintained but a bit boring.
Nevertheless, not easy, because it has the greens in it.

Very nice
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed March 24, 2014
We liked the place well-liked. Could around 7:44 the first flight going on, and were by 3Std20Min back foot. Can be handled on foot. Big, fast greens and lush fairways. Unfortunately, a number of water hazards to balls to lose. It's great now in March the many orange trees lining the fairways. Can be loosely picked, are very juicy and sweet.
Staff very friendly and accommodating. Food and drinks on the terrace very good. 'll Be back!

Always a pleasure
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 12, 2012
I play the place since the opening of 2-3x a year. The staff is extremely friendly. The course is always in excellent condition. Even in January 2012, as many places in the Algarve had big problems because of all the rain, the place was well playable. The many orange and Avocadosbaeume are a splendor. Important: always enough Baelle in the bag!

Here you realize that golf is a sport!
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 4, 2012
Laranjal, the newest course in Quinta do Lago... from the back tees at least one must overcome almost 6,500 m. The designs I like sports very well, there are a few scenic views. Large to huge and fast greens. A modern golf course is an experience for all skill levels. Booked through a tour operator, fair price green fee including buggy and often the small feature also including the juicy, sweet oranges hanging picked, from the fairway on the trees.
