Auf einem eintausend Hektar grossen Hügel an der östlichen Algarve, zwischen dem Gebirge und dem Atlantik, liegt der Monte Rei Golf and Country Club als eine Oase der Ruhe und Erholung, die seit Jahren als Juwel der portugiesischen Golfszene gilt. Neben dem Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, der in Portugal in den letzten Jahren durchweg als Nummer eins bewertet wurde, bietet das Anwesen auch ein prächtigen Clubhaus. Der Platz, der Service und das Ambiente erfüllen alle Erwartungen! Ein echte Ikone die man einfach mal gespielt haben sollte. Die neue Trägerschaft hat beschlossen den Golfplatz zwischen dem 1.April - 31. September 2026 komplett zu schliessen um den gesamten Golfplatz und die Greens mit neuen Grassorten einzusäen und damit schon 2027 den verlorenen 1 Platz im Portugal Golfplatz Ranking vom Dunas Golf Comporta zurück zu gewinnen. Ich bin sicher das werden Sie schaffen. GESCHLOSSEN BIS 1. OKTOBER 2026! Set on a thousand-hectare hill in the eastern Algarve, nestled between the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, the Monte Rei Golf and Country Club stands as an oasis of peace and relaxation that has long been regarded as a jewel of the Portuguese golf scene. In addition to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, which has consistently been rated number one in Portugal in recent years, the property also features a magnificent clubhouse. The course, the service, and the ambiance exceed all expectations! A true icon that simply must be played at least once. The new management has decided to completely close the golf course from April 1 to September 30, 2026, to reseed the entire course and the greens with new grass varieties, with the goal of regaining the lost No. 1 spot in the Portugal Golf Course Ranking from Dunas Golf Comporta as early as 2027. I am certain they will succeed. CLOSED UNTIL 1. OCTOBER 2026!!

Expérience de golf remarquable. Pas une fausse note les quelques heures que nous avons passées à Monte Rei. Accueil très souriant, que ce soit au proshop ou au clubhouse, et avec un sens du service qu'on aimerait trouver dans tous les golfs de la région... Dès l'arrivée prise en charge des sacs de golf par le personnel qui les installent sur les voiturettes (obligatoires sur le parcours). Et tout au long de la partie (départ, jeu, arrivée), on est accompagné quand nécessaire par le starter et d'autres personnes qui donnent avec beaucoup de gentillesse tous les conseils souhaitables. Voiturettes équipées d'un GPS précisant la distance réelle au drapeau (ça n'est pas une blague) et de serviettes pour essuyer les sièges mouillés par la pluie. Des bouteilles d'eau sont également mis à disposition. Le practice gratuit est superbe. Balles à volonté. Le parcours a été joué une journée de temps couvert avec quelques belles averses. Il est très beau. Vallonné, avec des liaisons parfois longues, ce qui explique les voiturettes obligatoires. Sa longueur est dans la moyenne. Beaucoup d'eau sur la deuxième partie du parcours. Il propose souvent des vues spectaculaires. Le plaisir de jeu est vraiment à un haut niveau. Beaucoup de variété dans les trous avec des points de vue magnifiques. Les mises en jeu ne sont pas très compliquées (à l'exception des par 3 toujours défendus par des bunkers redoutables) ce qui convient à tous les joueurs. Les fairways sont dans l'ensemble plutôt larges. Mais le dessin des trous et le positionnement très bien choisi des nombreux bunkers rendent le parcours beaucoup moins facile que ce qu'on pourrait croire. Les greens sont notamment bien défendus par de grands bunkers très profonds. Entretien soigné avec une mention spéciale pour les greens qui tiennent remarquablement la ligne sans être des patinoires. Et cerise sur le gâteau, avant de partir on vous remet une plaque métallique avec l'emblème du golf et gravée à votre nom. Le tarif des greenfees n'est pas donné (245 €) mais c'est une prestation tout compris. Quand on met tout bout à bout (parcours, voiturette, practice, fruits, etc...) on se rend compte que ça n'est pas beaucoup plus cher que dans d'autres golfs à proximité où la prestation est vraiment de piètre qualité. Faut-il le faire? Oui évidemment.

Fairways geel. Grote hoge bunkers. Leuk om keer te spelen baan gaat 6 mnd dicht voor groot onderhoud. Dat was denk ik al zien. Verwachting was erg hoog. In praktijk viel de baan een beetje tegen.
