Benamor Golf Course Tavira, Algarve
Benamor golf course carries one of the more unusual stories in Algarve golf. Sir Henry Cotton, the three-time Open champion who later shaped Vale do Lobo's Ocean course, was invited to design it in 1986, drawn to the site by an old church that still stands beside the clubhouse today. Cotton died before construction began, and it was architect Howard Swan who carried his original vision through to completion, opening the course in 2000 as the first ever built east of the Algarve.
The result is a gentler test than its neighbours, and that's very much the point. Two nines, both starting and finishing near the clubhouse, roll through olive, carob, and fig trees with the Serra do Caldeirão to the north and the Atlantic to the south. The front nine plays short and forgiving; the back nine tightens up and asks for more precision, particularly around the 13th, where a rivulet crosses the fairway. The old church reappears on the approach to the 18th, a quiet, memorable way to finish. This isn't a course built to punish. It's built to be enjoyed, and regulars come back precisely because a round here rarely feels crowded or rushed.
Facilities include a driving range, a resident academy, and a relaxed clubhouse restaurant with a genuine local, members'-club feel rather than a corporate one. For golfers based in Tavira who want a scenic, unhurried round without the crowds of the bigger-name courses, Benamor is exactly that. (...)
Quinta da Ria Golf Course Tavira, Algarve
Quinta da Ria sits inside the Ria Formosa Natural Park, on a stretch of the eastern Algarve where no villa or apartment block is allowed to interrupt the view. It is a rare thing in this region: a course with nothing around it but wetland, olive trees, and the sea. Designed by Rocky Roquemore and opened in 2002, it rewards patience over power, and the courses's own guests will tell you it's worth the drive east.
Five lakes work their way through the round, most notably guarding the 10th green, and the back nine edges close enough to the Atlantic that the sea breeze becomes a permanent playing partner. The par-3 17th is the hole most golfers remember: its green sits beside a small island that doubles as a bird sanctuary, a genuinely rare sight mid-round. Thick rough and flat, deceptively tricky bunkers punish anything sprayed off line, and the wind means club selection here is never quite as simple as the scorecard suggests.
Facilities include a driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant serving Portuguese food with a view back over the course. Quinta da Ria pairs naturally with its sister course, Quinta de Cima, next door, for golfers looking to spend a full trip on this quieter side of the Algarve. For anyone tired of playing the same handful of famous names, this is the detour worth making. (...)
