In our opinion, one of the best ways to make the most of a golf holiday in the Algarve is by choosing your accommodation wisely. So to help you decide we thought it would be a good idea to introduce you to one of our favourite hotel chains, Tivoli – a name synonymous with golf.

Originally from the Home of Golf, I have been lucky enough to hack my way round some of the finest courses Scotland has to offer. Previous employers include the world famous Gleneagles Hotel - where I once recommended a half pint of local lager to Gary Player.
