Quinta de Cima

Enjoyed despite conditions of fairways.overall happy

Still a lot of patches on fairways,greens in good condition,

Course was good but they have been having a big problem with the fairways which were very patchy in places but we played preferred lies so it wasn't a massive problem and with a 50% reduction in green fees it was acceptable

We were given a discount before we arrived as the course is still undergoing maintenance. Again had hoped for better.

This was our favourite course to play although we had been told it was not in the best condition. We could imagine how it would play once all the fairways have been put right. The Greens for us were the best of the 3 courses.

This course had recently been entirely reseeded, so when we played the grass was re- establishing itself. It will be lively when it is fully back to normal but the club itself is only charging 50% of normal green fees at the moment, so we were disappointed that it was chosen for us.

Course has problem with fairway grass leading to lots of areas under repair. Ayed very long with lots of fairway woods as second shots. Pretty slow back nine didn't help!

Fairways terrible condition

I’ve already submitted a complaint about this course concerning the condition it was in , this course has had extensive maintenance ongoing and is no where near ready for playing, course should not be open .

We had a buggy but could not drive on the course, even though others were. The overall feeling was one of being watched

Course has intentionally killed all of its grass in a year long program to replace with a new type of grass. Awful conditions. Basic open course. Won’t be going back.

There had been a deliberate greens policy of burning the grasses (as part of annual maintenance - this is standard). The course played well, but visually looked very burned . We were advised that YGT had been told about this but it wasn’t communicated to us - we believe it should have been (this is the second year in a row that there has been a material non-disclosure by YGT

Played here last year and loved it, this year the fairways had been burnt prior to re seeding and maintenance work, receptionist told us that our booking was informed about this and we would be getting a 25% discount on green fees. Otherwise great venue,2 great courses.

Unfortunately they were killing the fairways to reseed them. No information was passed by yourgolf. When speaking to other golfer’s there tour operator cancelled the round and booked them elsewhere.

Not told about the burnt grass before we got to Portugal .

Very slow round,condition of course was not great,they were doing maintainence on fairways which our group was not informed off before we left,otherwise we would not have played this course,bunkers had a lot of stones in them and had not been looked after.

Nice open course in great condition

The golf courses we played were fantastic and really well-chosen. Each one offered its own unique challenge and was kept in excellent condition. The variety kept things interesting, and the scenic views made every round a memorable one. Everything ran smoothly, making it a truly enjoyable golfing holiday from start to finish.

Enjoyable course.

Best of the bunch of 5 for me and most of the group of 12 I played with, fantastic condition, manicured to the best I’ve seen and a stellar test of your ability, would advise anyone above 12 to play the blue tees

it is a bit of a drive from QDL but the course is in really good condition. the surroundings are quite open and facilities are not up there compared to QDL courses but these are exceptionally good

Abandoned game at the 7th hole. Torrential rainfall and unpleasant

Similar to Ria but only due to the very wet weather.

Difficult course and long. Bunkers and water hazzards everywhere! Otherwise great. Mix up with booking - down for playing Quinta De Cima twice rather than one on Cima and last day on Quinta Da Ria. Had to tee off no. 10 very fast to fit in with booking schedule.

Tired in places on the fairways but have had a lot of rain . Greens are very tricky and in great condition

ok

The greens were in superb condition. the fairways were not as good as the RIA course but so so much better than Monte Rei. we would have liked to have played this course twice.the food was good and the staff very friendly

Very good would definitely play again

Excellent - very enjoyable

Loved the course , some great holes and in super condition,lots of staff and very helpful

Some of the fairways were a bit scabby but overall a really nice course. Needed refreshment buggy to be around but had to wait until 15th.

Great course in great condition. They had brought our tee times forward by 20 mins from those we were booked. Although I found later they had advised this on the schedule they gave me, it had not been pointed out and I'd missed it. Made for a real rush to the tee. For our second round they had moved us to a 10th tee start. The picturesque and challenging 16th, 17th & 18th are a great way to finish the round and so this was disappointing. Same lack of refreshments on course.

Great course, well condioned and fast, true greens. Problem was we were bumped from 1st tee 0930 to 10th tee 0940 and put with a man and wife, neither of whom were very good. Very nice people but she was awful. Result - slow play and missed our slot at first. Got to play after manager came out but was not nice experience. We did not ask to be partnered nor put off the 10th!

A good colf course, although we probably preferred Quinta da Ria.

This is the longer of the two courses. It doesn’t feature the same views. It also has a tough finish. 16 is a difficult the first time you play it. 17 is a nice par 3, over water and there is a challenging drive awaiting on 18.

Excellent course in very good condition, would love to play here again.

Great course but again no buggies booked and a tough walk in the heat

When we arrived we found that YGT had not paid the course and they refused to allow us to play unless we paid, very disappointing.

General consensus this was the 2nd best course we played, (ria, cima & vale). Greens were quick (not as quick as ria) but place and facilities top notch, we will come back!

Immaculate course with excellent greens

A great course for recreational (bogey) golfers. Well manicured and quickish greens but not super fast. A bit crammed in for the first 3-4 holes but opened up after that. Wider fairways than Ria. Enjoyed two rounds here.

Superb condition can’t fault the course

Great course, greens were fast despite the rain, wet in places on fairways due to rain.

Very good courses.

too many bunkers!

Very busy but would play again

Course in good condition but slow

Not enough buggies on hire but completed round in good time

great course , bar & restaurant was not open

Great course very difficult but very enjoyable experience. No clubhouse open on second visit on Monday 19/06 no food available after round and only cans of beer from shop . No inside seating away from sun .

Of the two all of us preferred de Ria, absolutely perfect course good match to any course in the Villamoura region

Excllent course. Rather long. But enjoyable

Very windy day and warm .course playing long but excellent condition. Made better with one of our lads getting a hole in one on the 2nd

Both courses in superb condition, miles better than Monte Rei. Very busy but reasonable pace of play. Terrace food and drinks very enjoyable and service exceptional.

Great course, really enjoyed it. Condition was excellent, really intresting course.

The course is in excellent condition as always. From tee to green it's pretty much immaculate. Unfortunately it's become painfully slow ( we played three rounds here during the week and at weekend) stuck behind groups that had a professional with them who was also putting took forever and we pretty much lost the will to live. Will not return. Really not helped by the fact that when we arrived we were told that Your Golf Travel had not paid so we had a choice to either not play or pay again and reclaim the money from YGT. After three phone calls to YGT it got paid but v embarassing and literally with one minute before our tee time. V stressful.

First time played this course, lovely setting but had to make sure golf ball was driven to correct area on fsirway

See above.

Greens had been hollatined a few weeks ago but played well

Same comments as Ria

A great golf course beautifully presented some difficult and long par 4's but well worth playing. Only dissapointed was that the clubhouse closed at 6.30pm meaning none of our group were in before it closed.

Beautiful Course and club house

I found this the harder of the two and although pretty doesn't have the sea views. Fairways not as good as the Ria, but I'm being picky. It's a good course and is kept as a resort course should be to find balls when wayward and keep play going.

A more difficult course because of length but very playable.

One of the best on the Algarve

A much more pleasant experience than its sister course Ria. The greens were nice and slick although there were a few bare spots on the fairway that should have been marked GUR. The facilities are currently being renovated, hence the low rating. Once finished it will be a much better venue.

A fine course and a fair layout. Not quite as picturesque as de ria and a bit more room off the tee. However some great holes and a good test of golf. Great value and a must play if in the area.

Good test of golf worth a second visit.

Stunning golf course in great condition. Superb views. Loved it. We had a buggy but it's a flat course and we could have walked it. Would certainly return to play again

long and difficult

Every time we play Quinta de cima the course is in good condition.

The trouble is all the holes looked the same : longish par 4’s and the par 5’s the same just a bit longer. Not contour rich and the back nine was the same as the front in that it is was long with plenty of bunkers ,except the last par 3 over the water.

Excellent golf course in great condition. Whilst a challenge it is a fair golf course with some difficult holes. The week we played it was in far better condition than the sister course, Quinta Da Ria. The new clubhouse area is looking good. It was not ready for our trip (we were advised so no problem) but the temporary facilities were very good.
