Monte Rei Golf & Country Club

We stayed in one of the luxurious golf resort residences which had a fabulous view over the golf course. The apartment was spacious, well laid out and very comfortable. We had breakfast in the clubhouse every day which was delicious. A fabulous choice and all freshly prepared. The staff without exception were all extremely attentive and very friendly- the perfect combination. We played a couple of rounds on the course which is stunning ! It is a wonderful lay out in a beautiful setting. Each of the holes is different and the course was in immaculate condition. Again every member of staff we were in contact with was extremely helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend this resort highly enough. Throughout the resort the staff went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience.It is one of the most beautiful places we have played and stayed.

After reading some of the negative comments about the state of the course in recent weeks we didn’t have high expectations, we played in early October and found the course, greens and the staff all all great, we have no complaints and look forward to playing again in the future.

Another secret I’d like to keep to myself but my first visit to this oasis of luxury has to be complemented. The resort is beautifully presented with incredibly friendly helpful staff, It felt like I had the place to myself. The golf suites along the edge of the course are 6 star. I stayed in 822 and if you want a spectacular view this one is great. My three nights included two rounds of golf and use of the practice facility which was incredible value for money. The course is a Jack Nicklaus master piece with a wonderful selection of varied holes and a handful of spectacular par 3’s The course has suffered terribly from the drought in past years and there are one or two dry spots. However it looks like it’s on the mend and certainly didn’t affect my enjoyment. I will say there are multiple tees on each hole and my tip is to play from the one that suits your handicap. Neil is the head golf professional and did wonders for my aging game with just two hours coaching, he will advise you which tees will enhance your enjoyment. I really can’t say enough about this place and I’ll be heading back soon with my wife.

Played golf there today. A spectacular layout, each hole is isolated from the others. The greens are in perfect shape. The fairways are good but recovering from a recent water problem but generally looked great. We played preferred lies so the fairway condition was not an issue. . We liked it so much after the morning round that we asked to play again and they gave us a deeply discounted rate for the 2nd round. Bring all your golf shots for this one, you will enjoy it.

First class facilities, fantastic golf course and lovely staff. The place was VERY quiet when we were there and we felt like we had it to ourselves. The food is terrific and the golf is quite good. A water shortage had been a little tough on the fairways but overall, a great track. The practice facility is top notch.

A great example of a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Unfortunately, due to prior events, Fire & Drought the course is not in the best of condition. The Miradouro linked Villas are very dated and need upgrading. The Veranda restaurant was excellent and Carolina & Johnathan were superb. We had a super experience. The absolute stand out part of our stay was the dinning experience in Vistas. This restaurant with head chef Andre, sous chef Ricardo, sommelier Fernando and restaurant manger Sara were all exceptional and were all the team in the restaurant. The dishes we were presented with were just outstanding and I highly recommend a visit to Vistas whether you play golf or not. I would suggest you confirm the condition of the course before booking.
