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 Portuguese golf: Monte Rei Golf & Country Club.

Following an extensive six-month enhancement programme carried out in collaboration with Nicklaus Design in 2026, Monte Rei's North Course has been thoughtfully renewed to deliver an elevated golfing experience while remaining true to Jack Nicklaus' original vision. Greens and bunkers have been meticulously restored, teeing areas expanded and practice facilities enhanced, while significant infrastructure upgrades and carefully considered landscape improvements further showcase the natural beauty of the course. Complemented by new training technology and a more sustainable approach to course maintenance, every detail has been refined to ensure the exceptional standards for which Monte Rei is renowned.

In addition to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, consistently rated among the finest in Portugal, Monte Rei also offers luxury accommodation, exceptional dining and a range of premium leisure facilities, creating one of Europe's most exclusive golf and lifestyle destinations.

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.
