Monte Rei

Algarve, Portugal

Located in the picturesque foothills of the Eastern Algarve, Monte Rei is an exclusive golf destination and the perfect stop on an Algarve golf tour. The club offers an 18-hole championship course, the North Course, a must-play on any Portugal golf vacation.

This course is rated as the best golf course in Portugal by Golf Digest and ranks highly on several World Top 100 rankings. Off the course, the facilities here are exceptional, with two restaurants, practice facilities, and a clubhouse.

As a famed Jack Nicklaus signature course, the North Course’s conditioning is immaculate, delivering a world-class golf experience year-round. A highlight of the layout is the continual elevation changes that result in a clear definition to each hole, with little visibility of adjoining fairways.

The Monte Rei Golf & Country Club is due to start construction on a second course, another 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature course. Once complete, the South Course will add the Monte Rei golf resort in Portugal to an exclusive list of destinations with two Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses.

Set in a nature reserve east of Faro, close to the Spanish border, Monte Rei is only a 40-minute transfer to Quinta do Lago and Vale Do Lobo, proving the perfect addition to an Algarve golf tour.
