Algarve golf holidays: world-class courses, golden beaches and year-round sunshine, all in one destination.
The Algarve is arguably Europe's most complete golf destination, combining over 40 courses within a compact, easily navigable region with reliably warm, dry weather for most of the year. It's the kind of place where genuinely world-class golf sits alongside everything else a holiday needs: direct flights from every major UK airport, a huge range of accommodation from apartment/villa rentals to five star resorts, and a well established tourism infrastructure that makes group travel straightforward. Whether it's a golfer's first trip abroad or their fiftieth, the Algarve rarely disappoints.
What sets it apart is the sheer variety of golf on offer within a short drive: dramatic clifftop layouts along the coast, classic parkland courses inland, and everything in between, so a week long trip can feel completely different day to day without ever changing base. Add in the region's food, beaches and laid back pace, and it's an easy sell for mixed groups as much as golf only trips.
Our team's favourites here are Palmares, with its striking mix of clifftop, links and parkland style holes over the same round; Quinta do Lago South, one of the most polished and prestigious layouts in continental Europe; and the Old Course Vilamoura, a Frank Pennink design and the granddaddy of Algarve golf that's still one of the best tests in the region.
Send us the dates, the group size and roughly what you want to spend. A specialist who has played these courses will come back with tee times, rooms and a price within one working day.
