Portugal’s No.1 Golf Course

Set in 1,000 acres in the Eastern Algarve, between the Serra do Caldeirão mountains and the Atlantic Ocean lies a haven of peace and tranquillity that is the jewel in the crown of Portugese Golf.  The Monte Rei Golf and Country Club. 

In addition to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, consistently rated number one in Portugal, and a magnificent clubhouse Monte Rei also offers state of the art luxury accommodation to suit all tastes.  Designed and built to the highest specification these villas and apartments provide an enviable place to live and play in a private and secure hideaway.  Additional facilities include high-end dining, 24/7 concierge service, heated swimming pool, gym, tennis courts and children’s play area, all supported by exceptional staff.

Having already established the North Course as one of Portugal’s finest golf courses, Monte Rei now looks ahead to the next phase of its development: the future South Course, a second Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Integrated into the resort’s long-term development plans, this project will further strengthen Monte Rei’s position as one of Europe’s most prestigious golf destinations, placing it among the select few clubs worldwide to feature two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses.

Jack Nicklaus

Jack Nicklaus is arguably the finest player ever to pick up a golf club. After retiring from the professional game in 2005 the Golden Bear became synonymous with the design and development of top-flight courses across the globe. His Signature course at Monte Rei Golf and Country Club is regularly ranked as the best course in Portugal, and has been challenging players of all abilities and handicaps from across the world since 2007.
