Golf Holidays in Portugal

The Algarve is synonymous with golf, and benefits from a pleasant year round climate that is perfect for holiday golf.

For big groups, the action packed town of Vilamoura is the ultimate. In addition to the evening action that is focused on the marina, Vilamoura offers easy access to countless championship courses laid down by the likes of Sir Nick Faldo and Christy O'Connor Jnr, as well as Oceanico Victoria which of course hosts the European Tour's Portugal Masters. Choosing from the Algarve's endless golfing delights can be tricky, but we personally recommend the Penina resort, Dona Filipa, which boasts San Lorenzo, arguably the country's finest track, and the breathtaking Monte Rei development in the Algarve's east.

For a longer hop, sunny golf holidays are now on offer on the charming island of Madeira, but the emerging star of Portuguese golf is the Lisbon coast; the Atlantic shoreline has awe-inspiring courses including Oitavos, in addition to first class golf resorts like Quinta da Marinha and Praia D'El Rey. With the old favourites being supplanted by fantastic new venues, Portugal is as popular as ever, and remains one of the best destinations for a golf holiday in the sun.
