Pestana Ferragudo

The 6,681 yard, par 73 layout at Pestana Ferragudo Golf gives a proper Algarve round, with enough length to make thoughtful club selection matter while rolling ground and coastal outlooks keep the walk engaging. This is an 18 hole course designed in a modern vein, following the contours of its setting rather than forcing a rigid route through it. Better players will enjoy working out the safest angles into greens and deciding when to take on more ambitious lines, while higher handicappers have room to play their way around without the course becoming punishing. It had its soft opening in June 2026 and is now presented as the flagship course in the Pestana Golf collection.

A full swing area, putting practice and short game facilities make it easy to settle into the pace of a golf break before the first tee shot, with coaching also available through the Pestana academies. Afterwards, the dedicated Ferragudo Golf clubhouse is the natural place for a drink or a meal, rather than rushing straight back to the hotel. The village of Ferragudo is close by, with Carvoeiro, Portimão and the Algarve beaches all within easy reach for evenings away from the course. Faro Airport is around 45 to 60 minutes by car, making the course a straightforward base for a week that can combine regular golf with time on the coast.
