The first of two magnificent 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses at Monte Rei is now open for play. The Monte Rei Golf Club is set in the picturesque foothills of the Eastern Algarve, with sweeping views of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.

Monte Rei North opened to great acclaim in June 2007 featuring five lakes, surrounded by stunning natural landscape, rich with indigenous trees and plants.

This Championship course is a truly unique design; with water coming into play on eleven of the eighteen holes, the course features an enjoyable series of eight par-4s, five par-3s and five par-5s in a challenging and distinctive layout.

On arrival at the clubhouse, lighten the load a little and take advantage of the bag drop and valet parking services. Check in at the expansive and well-appointed professional's shop, while your personal buggy is prepared behind the scenes.

Equipped with an elaborate course guide it's time to head out to the practice area where pyramids of top quality balls await, giving you time to loosen up and refine your swing before heading off to the tee.

At Monte Rei, intervals between tee times are considerably longer than normal practice, golfers will be able to enjoy their game in a relaxed setting, and each hole will be yours for that moment, cocooned in your own golfing wonderland undisturbed by other players.

Before pitting their wits against Jack Nicklaus's imaginative and challenging design, golfers are able to sharped their skill at the exclusive Golf Academy, or spend time at the world-class driving range and extensive practise facilities.
