The iconic South Course at Portugal\u2019s Quinta do Lago has scooped two major awards this week as the layout continues to live up to its reputation as one of the world\u2019s best.<\/p>

After being named Portugal\u2019s top course at last year\u2019s World Golf Awards, the resort landed the same accolade at this year\u2019s event, while adding the crown of Europe\u2019s best to make it a double celebration.<\/p>

Hosted at the exclusive Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island resort in Abu Dhabi this week, the World Golf Awards reward excellence in the golf tourism market, with Quinta do Lago\u2019s success yet more recognition for one of Europe\u2019s most exclusive and premier golf destinations.<\/p>

The newly renovated South Course claimed last year\u2019s top spot in Portugal following a \u20ac7million upgrade \u2013 and success at the 2022 World Golf Awards is a fitting final flourish as Quinta do Lago\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations draw to a close, with the honour a reflection of the resort\u2019s ethos of consistent evolution.<\/p>

Rather than rest on its laurels during the Covid-19 pandemic, Quinta do Lago refurbished the popular South Course as part of a resort-wide overhaul, cementing its status as Europe\u2019s premier golf and lifestyle destination.<\/p>

Seeing the South Course named the best in Portugal again while adding the title of \u2018Best in Europe\u2019 will come as no surprise to those familiar with the par-72 design, which has hosted the Portuguese Open on eight occasions. The course is also a regular venue for the Justin Rose Telegraph Junior Golf Championship \u2013 with the latest edition of the \u2018Unofficial Major of Junior Golf\u2019 taking place in the Algarve this month. Seventeen-year-olds Dylan Shaw-Radford, from Huddersfield, and Sophia Fullbrook, from Hertfordshire, won in the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 categories respectively.<\/p>

The renovation of the South Course, which emphasised the resort\u2019s commitment to sustainability, encompassed every fairway, bunker, tee and green across all 18 holes. Improved irrigation and a switch to new species of grass have significantly bolstered water efficiency across the layout, drastically cutting back waste in a key area. However, the resort\u2019s two other 18-hole championship golf courses \u2013 the North Course and Laranjal \u2013 have not been overlooked in the quest for golf\u2019s greener future.<\/p>

Amplified biodiversity, reduced plastic usage and homegrown fruit and vegetables are among the key concepts implemented throughout all of the resort\u2019s courses, culinary options and accommodation. Quinta do Lago\u2019s reputation as a pioneer in sustainable golf and travel has only been reinforced by the latest awards, which prove that its green approach can offer the same standard of world-class golf and travel that guests have come to expect.<\/p>

Sean Moriarty, CEO of Quinta do Lago, said: “We\u2019re honoured to be recognised at the World Golf Awards once again. We took a lot of pride in making the South Course even better and to win this award for the second year in a row reflects our desire to keep moving forward.<\/p>

\u201cThe resort is never satisfied standing still, so there\u2019s more to come in 2023.\u201d<\/p>

Quinta do Lago stands tall as a pillar of European golf. With three celebrated 18-hole golf courses and top-of-the-range facilities, including the only Paul McGinley Academy in the world, the venue is a natural choice for some of golf\u2019s most prestigious competitions. The resort is also a trusted partner of England Golf, and elite English golfers from a range of age groups have used their facilities \u2013 including state-of-the-art performance hub The Campus, which is open to top athletes and guests alike – to hone their skills over the years.<\/p>

Alongside an unparalleled sports offering, guests staying in the stunning 2,000-acre Algarve resort can enjoy 14 first-class bars and restaurants<\/a> or discover the picturesque Magnolia Hotel. Blessed with the backdrop of one of Europe\u2019s most beautiful natural regions, Quinta do Lago offers the perfect place to soak in golden sands and sapphire seas, with facilities for every need close at hand.<\/p>
