Designed by William Mitchell from the USA and opened in 1974, the
Quinta do Lago South course was the venue for the Portuguese Open
Championship in 1976, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 2001.
It has also hosted many large professional and amateur championships.
The favourite of many tour players, this course offers the possibility
to hit the greens in regulation in several ways. However, each
hole has one easy route and the player who sees this, and has the
skill
to follow the designer’s intention, and produce sub-par figures.
An anti-clockwise loop, it favours the draw shot.
