Quinta do Lago has received global recognition following its recent transformation into one of the world’s leading modern contemporary golf resorts after being named ‘Europe’s Best Golf Venue’ at the 2015 World Golf Awards.
The prestigious sports and lifestyle venue was one of 10 destinations to be nominated for the award and received the top honour at an awards ceremony at the Conrad Algarve in Portugal at the weekend.
Quinta do Lago has invested more than €50 million upgrading its sports, leisure and lifestyle facilities as part of a six-year investment program, including the €9.6 million redesign of its North Course by renowned American architect Beau Welling in close association with European Ryder Cup winning captain Paul McGinley.
John Dwyer, chief executive at Quinta do Lago, said: “We’re very proud to have been named the best venue in Europe at such a leading event for the golf industry. This award is deserved recognition for the decision the resort took five years ago to undertake a signicant upgrade and modernisation of all its facilities.
Further investment is planned in 2016 with the creation of a new state-of-the-art sports centre, with the new facility offering the very best amenities for sport lovers, with more than 25 activities available as well as a cutting-edge, modern clubhouse.
Dwyer added: “These are very exciting times in a new era for the resort, and the new investment planned will further enhance Quinta do Lago’s reputation as Europe’s most exclusive resort.”
