Ombria Algarve distinguished as the Best New Golf Course in Europe

The Algarve’s newest golf course, located in Ombria, the new sustainable luxury destination located in the heart of the municipality of Loulé, won the award for “Europe’s Best New Golf Course” at the 2024 edition of the World Golf Awards, one of the most prestigious distinctions in the world of golf.

This international recognition reflects the excellence and innovation of Ombria Algarve, whose world-class 18-hole golf course is harmoniously integrated into the natural landscape of the region. Designed by renowned Portuguese architect Jorge Santana da Silva, the course was designed with a deep respect for the environment, promoting sustainable practices that preserve local biodiversity and challenge golf lovers.
