The Ria Formosa Natural Park is one of the most amazing places in the Algarve, not only for its variety of landscapes but also because of its unique location. Recently elected as one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal, this is one of three protected areas not to be missed during your holiday in the Algarve. This is a unique coastal lagoon which is constantly changing due to the continuous movement of winds, currents and tides. Classified as a Natural Park in 1987, the Ria Formosa encompasses an area of about 18 000 hectares, and is protected from the sea by 5 barrier-islands and 2 peninsulas: the Peninsula of Ancão that the locals call island of Faro, the Barreta Island also known as Ilha Deserta, the Culatra Island (where the lighthouse of Santa Maria is located), the Island of Armona, the Island of Tavira, Cabanas Island and finally the Peninsula of Cacela.

This awesome area extends along the leeward coast of the Algarve through the municipalities of Loulé, Faro, Olhão, Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António. Due to these natural features and its geographical location it was included in the list of wetlands of world-wide interest defined by the Ramsar Convention. In this protected area you may witness many different habitats such as barrier-islands, marshes, tidal flats, islets, dunes, salt pans, fresh water lagoons, agricultural areas and woodlands which hold a an impressive diversity of flora and fauna.

There are three golf courses in total within the overall plan of Quinta do Lago - namely Quinta do Lago North & South, and San Lorenzo. The two Quinta do Lago courses form the golfing options of the playing members of the Club. Both courses are characterised as parkland courses wending their way through the Mediterranean pines that line the fairways, and offering tantalising views of the large houses and plots that make up the resort. The South course, designed by William Mitchell, is the championship course and has been host to the Portuguese Open on seven different occasions.

The first nine holes wind through parkland, and the back nine loops around the lake from which the resort gets its name. The North course, nine holes designed by William Mitchell and nine holes designed by Rocky Roquemore. though not so famous as its southerly neighbor, is equally enjoyed by members. The third course, San Lorenzo, is situated on the coast in the South Eastern most part of Quinta do Lago and does not form part of the golfing rights of CGQL members. There is another course, associated with the Quinta do Lago complex which opened in October 2008 called Laranjal. This course is situated approximately 2 km east of Quinta do Lago in the Ludo valley.
