Quinta da Marinha Resort

We stayed in the villas which I wouldn’t describe as villas. They were 2 bedroom apartments which were clean and adequate for our stay.the shuttle bus which was always available took us to the hotel for breakfast and the drivers were very friendly and cooperative.drinks and food was expensive which we expected being 5 star hotel plenty of choice at breakfast.

Stayed in villas which were a short minibus ride from main hotel & all facilities. Great accommodation, a little inconvenient if you want to use to the spa or pool & in the morning to go for breakfast.

Clean linen and towels every day .lovely staff . breakfasts to die for . first class all the way

We did not stay on the hotel, but thay had a good service

Very comfortable hotel. Staff super friendly and helpful. We upgraded to a suite in the hotel for convenience rather than stay in one of the villas which are 10-15 mins walk away. Excellent breakfasts. Lots of other guests - golfers and non-golfers, mostly aged 40+ - so the hotel had a very good vibe.

This Hotel is good, very helpful staff and the food we had during our stay was very good.

We found Quinta da marinha quite tough as greens were in excellent condition and very fast.fairways were generous and course was a bit untidy in places but overall enjoyable and good value for money.

Slow greens, very muddy fairways

Nice course,poor facilities, Buggies too expensive

Not being able to book buggies was a concern although they did scrape enough together for us in the end. Wouldn’t have liked to have to walk it.

A very very windy day caused us problems but overall it was very good

Course crammed. No buggies. Organised chaos. Club house bar closed on our return. 200 golfers on course. Lots of cross overs on course so dangerous. Will not go back

Very friendly staff. Good golf course for the first day of the trip.

Unfortunately we played the course on a very windy day which did not make for enjoyable golf. There are some interesting holes but the course is a little worn, maybe a long summer.

No real facilities at course for changing/showering. The course was a good test & enjoyed the scenery on the way round.

Par 3 were challenging but enjoyable. Resort facilities, no restaurant as such, which wasn’t a problem if we had known. No locker rooms and we were going home after round. Went back to the hotel.

easy check in. nice reception If you are a 2 ball you get put with other players sometimes , another pair or a single . This is not always welcome . a challenging course where there is always a tree in the way.

lovely course with a nice degreee of difficulty

yes i would recomend this course having played many in portugal this is certainly worth playing

sadly this course is getting too many groups playing on it. held up on nearly every hole due to slow play ( mainly French and Scandinavians who don't really let you play through when they are looking for their balls)Very tight fairways which means a lot of lost balls and people playing 3 off the tee which as I say slowed the whole round up.Would be a great course if it had say 15 minutes between tee time not 10 minutes. Less would be more enjoyable.

Massive and speedy greens in good condition. Not so keen on the layout of the course as lots of crossing over - so very confusing. Club house very basic - no locker room. This is a longish course and provided decent holiday golf. We were coupled with partners who regularly played the course - fortunate in one way as they navigated us around however they actually played speed golf which lessened our experience.

Fantastic Course, yes they had changed the layout, but that was not a problem. I never got the feel for the greens even after 5 rounds. But that is my problem, don´t forget to use time on putting before you arrive.

unfortunately we played in heavy rain and course was very wet. it looked like a great course however, and was reasonably forgiving so a good place to start before moving on to more difficult courses

Shop ran out of basic sandwiches so 8 of 16 people could not get food snacks from shop. Some groups would not use Hotel 19th hole as you cannot lookout for the return bus, so go back to the small reception shop to wait Andy have a drink but all food had gone by 3pm? Very slow on course so may groups taking forever waiting on every shot every hole?

No real club house facilities,more like a hut at the driving range. Did not think much of the greens that day?

We loved this course, challenging but pretty and a nice easy walk. Everything was in excellent condition and the adjacent hotel provided the Ryder Cup coverage for us.

Pro-shop helpful and course in good condition.

The design of this course required golfers to walk across fairways to the next tee - both hazardous and time consuming. In addition, some of the tees were adjacent and therefore noise was a distraction in some cases.
