Although open since 1988 only, San Lorenzo has built up an enviable reputation as a course you must play if you are in the Algarve. Exclusivity obviously plays a part, but the sheer magnificence of San Lorenzo and its rating among the top three courses in Europe prove that attention to detail and meticulous maintenance make it the show-piece of the region.

British comedian Jimmy Tarbuck has regularly held his Golf Classic here, bringing sports personalities and show business celebrities from the United Kingdom, such as Henry Cooper, Jasper Carrott, Tim Brooke-Taylor, plus many more who have all returned year after year. For several years, the British Daily Telegraph Junior Golf Championship finals were held on the San Lorenzo course. Both Tony Jacklin and Mickey Walker have accompanied the finalists here.

Perhaps the most attractive element associated with this course is the way in which it blends into the natural environment of the area.
Of several courses in the region, it shares the splendid setting and beauty of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. Flora and fauna are exquisite, making the course a delight to both golfer and casual visitor..
