Design Philosophy

The par-72 routing uses eight par-4s, five par-3s and five par-5s, with water incorporated into eleven holes and angled greens and bunkering creating alternative strategic lines.

Development

In 2026 Monte Rei completed a six-month programme with Nicklaus Design that restored greens and bunkers, enlarged teeing areas, improved practice facilities and upgraded course infrastructure.

Recognition

Golf Digest currently places Monte Rei second in its Portugal ranking and 17th among courses in Continental Europe.

The North Course remains Monte Rei's playable Jack Nicklaus Signature layout following its 2026 enhancement programme.
