An inland valley course that punches above its price tag: three straight years hosting the Open de Portugal. Wide-open early holes give way to a wind-tested, undulating back nine — a sharper alternative to the coastal names and a break away from the coastal crowds. ...
A 27-hole course above the Bay of Lagos, split into three loops of parkland and links golf. Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s 2010 redesign ranks 26th in Golf World's Top 100 in Europe, with the Atlantic and Meia Praia beach in constant view. One of our personal favourite courses. ...
Where championship golf in the Algarve actually began — Sir Henry Cotton's 1966 masterpiece, ten-time host of the Portuguese Open. A famous par-3 13th over water is the hole everyone remembers; come for the history and the design, not for modern polish. ...
Built in 1992 around a single olive tree that's over 1,200 years old — still standing, still in play. A course you get better at every time: hidden turns and blind shots reward the regulars, and the European Seniors Tour agreed for the best part of a decade. ...
An unpretentious course through working orange and olive groves, at the foot of the Monchique mountains. The round now closes, not opens, with a tee shot threaded between water on both sides — watched from the brand-new clubhouse terrace. ...
Located in the Portimão area of the Algarve, Ferragudo Golf Course is the newest golfing addition to the region and is part of the renowned Pestana Group, Portugal's largest hotel and tourism group. This attractive parkland course blends naturally into the beautiful Algarve landscape, offering golfers a challenging and enjoyable experience. Its unique and highly interesting layout provides a remarkable variety of holes, ensuring that every round is different and memorable. ...
Eighteen fairways, twenty-seven greens — nowhere else in Europe lets you play the same course and never quite repeat yourself. Genuine championship pedigree hiding inside a course anyone can enjoy, closing with a par-5 18th right under the clubhouse terrace. ...
Shorter and tighter than its sister course Morgado, this Russell Talley design rewards precision over power. The par-4 15th, crossed by a diagonal storm ditch, is the hole golfers remember most. Pairing perfectly with Morgados Golf course for the golfer wanting variety. ...
Sir Henry Cotton's last design across two valleys near Alvor, and his most technical: small greens, tight lines, built for players who shape the ball both ways. It closes with Sir Henry's Challenge, a par-5 16th reputed to be one of the longest in Europe — a fitting final flourish. ...
A relaxed nine-hole course by Sir Henry Cotton, sitting across the road from the Penina Hotel with no handicap certificate required. Conditioning has slipped in recent years, so go for the easy pace and short-game practice rather than pristine fairways, and you'll come away having had a genuinely enjoyable, low-pressure round. ...
