Morgado Golf Course
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.

Nice course and very wide, which suited my game perfectly. Will definitely play there again. I’m expecting a significant handicap cut!

Very enjoyable round of golf . Greens in great consistent condition throughout course . Only point of note is that the holes need to be trimmed as grass is impeaching on the hole itself
