To golf Algarve is to experience a golf holiday in Portugal like none other. Portugal golf vacation packages help you maximize the complete Portugal golf experience.
Golf around the Algarve
Your golf holiday in Portugal must include some of the great Algarve golf courses. A course of either 9 or 18 holes can be found along the southern coast with spectacular views of the beach and a challenging course. You can choose to bring your own clubs or rent clubs at the local courses.
Within the Algarve region there are at least 8 popular golf course towns or parishes for both tourists and the locals. These courses can be reached by the centrally located Faro Airport. They can be found to the West of the airport in Sagres, Lagos, Portimao, Albufeira, Vilamoura, and Amancil. East of the airport in Faro is Travira and Santo Antonio. The closest courses to the airport are in Amancil at just 12 km distance. Here you can find 5 great golf courses and plenty of hotels with not only golf, but other sports such as tennis.
Greens fees are comparable to U.S. courses and seasonally adjusted. For example, in April the greens fees are about ½ of the regular, full rate. Prices range in the Algarve region from about 35 or 40 Euros to 75-85 Euros.
An Algarve golf vacation is about more than just the great golf courses and breathtaking views. There is a complete package that is part of any golf holiday in Portugal. That of course includes the food and wine. Portugal is known for both quality and quantity when it comes to the local seafood cuisine and provincial wines. Hotels along the golf courses serve the best of both, but a visit to the centre villages of each town lets the tourist experience more of the culture along with the outstanding fare. Even for those who may not be a complete golf enthusiast, yet travelling with one, can enjoy all of the fringe benefits that go along with Portugal golf.
