Boavista is UK architect Howard Swan's 2002 design for Lagos, built with the aim of looking as though it had always been part of the land. It runs in two sections: a Resort stretch (1st to 3rd, 13th to 18th) and a Country stretch between (4th to 12th), climbing from sub-tropical planting near the clubhouse to sweeping views over the Bay of Lagos and the Serra de Monchique.
It's a par-71 of around 6,150 metres. The outward nine rises to a high 9th tee; the inward nine drops into a valley of lakes and bridges. The 6th, the Cliff Hole, plays across a natural ravine, and the 7th, generally reckoned the signature hole, offers the course's best view of the Atlantic and the Monchique hills. Water returns in earnest at the 14th, a long hole nicknamed the Lake, and the round closes at a small replica of St Andrews' Swilken Bridge. Wind is a constant factor throughout.
The buggy is close to essential here given the terrain, and the resort adds a driving range, academy, clubhouse restaurant and snack bar, and pro shop, though there's no locker room on site. Book a round at the course built to feel like it was never built at all. (...)
Tucked into a quiet valley between Portimão and the Monchique foothills, Morgado feels like a different side of the Algarve altogether — inland, unhurried, and away from the coastal crowds. It earned its stripes the hard way: three consecutive years, 2017 to 2019, as host of the Open de Portugal, a run few Algarve courses can match.
The front nine opens generously, wide fairways that invite a confident tee shot, but the deep, Scottish-style bunkers around the greens have a way of catching anything loose. Settle into a rhythm here, because the back nine changes the conversation entirely — the ground rises, the valley channels the wind, and every club selection starts to matter. Save something for the finish: the 18th plays from an elevated tee down to a bunker-framed fairway, the clubhouse waiting in the distance, and it's the kind of hole that makes the whole round worth the walk.
This is a course built to reward good decisions rather than raw power, and it plays fair across a wide range of handicaps — part of why it keeps pulling golfers back. Facilities are shared with the neighbouring Álamos course, including a well-regarded academy, full driving range, and a resident pro shop, with the clubhouse restaurant a welcome stop once the round is done. For anyone tired of queuing behind the big coastal names, Morgado is the quieter, sharper alternative. (...)
Alamos is the shorter, tighter sibling to Morgado next door, and it earns its own following precisely because of that. Designed by Russell Talley of European Golf Design and opened in 2006, it sits in a valley below the Serra de Monchique, with lakes and farmland giving the round a genuinely peaceful, away-from-it-all feel.
Don't mistake short for easy. The fairways are narrower than Morgado's, the greens smaller, and the course demands precision over power from the first tee to the last. The par-5 2nd doglegs sharply right and sets an early tone, while the par-4 15th is the hole most likely to be remembered afterward: a storm ditch cuts diagonally across the fairway between tee and green, forcing a real decision on both the drive and the approach. Trees are placed with real intent throughout, and course management matters here more than it does almost anywhere else nearby. It's a round that rewards return visits, and plenty of regulars book it first whenever they're back in the area.
Facilities include a full driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant with sweeping views over the course and the mountains beyond. Alamos pairs naturally with Morgado for golfers wanting two very different tests within the same short drive. (...)
