Monte Rei Golf Club

Monte Rei 

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. The first of two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses - Monte Rei North -  opened for play in June 2007. This par 72 Championship course measuring 6588m from the tournament tees is a truly unique design meandering overgently rolling hills and valleys. Each hole is a design gem, from its ingenious shape and sculptured bunkers, to the impressive presentation and attention to detail; fairways and greens are bordered by several lakes, indigenous plants, native grasses and trees adding drama to the landscape, and providing golfers with unforgettable moments to cherish in this golfing masterpiece, whilst on their Algarve golf breaks. 

Monte Rei Hole 1Hole 1

A well struck tee shot aimed over the right hand corner of the dog leg will leave the golfer with a short second; the more conservative approach is to take aim on the fairway bunkers at the corner of the dog leg playing a fairway wood for position from the tee but leaving a longer second shot into a relatively small contoured green guarded by a solitary bunker on the left hand side.


Hole 8Monte Rei Hole 8

A drive favoring the left hand side of the fairway can take advantage of the natural contours of the terrain to accelerate the ball forward allowing the longer player a chance to reach the green in two, presenting a unique birdie opportunity. The green is raised up above the fairway and well protected with a beautifully sculptured bunker; shots falling short of the green face players with a challenging recovery.



Hole 13Monte Rei Hole 13

The fairway runs downhill towards two bunkers framing the left and right hand sides of the hole, the ideal drive is to lay up short of the fairway bunkers leaving a medium iron approach; precision and feel will be required to safely land your ball on this narrow green and negotiate this hole successfully. The thirteenth exhibits perfectly the true natural beauty of Monte Rei and the picturesque Algarvian countryside.
