About the Algarve

The Algarve is one of Europe's premier golf areas and is recognised as having some of the finest Championship Golf Courses in the world. Warm playing conditions and immaculately manicured fairways make it the ideal destination for a golfing holiday. Over 25 courses already exist in the Algarve, with even more under construction.

It is a year-round sport in the Algarve, though the main season extends from late autumn to late spring. Winters are mild and golfers from northern European countries can enjoy warm, sunny days and keep their swings smooth at a time when their home courses are unplayable.

By visiting during the main golf season you avoid the crowded roads and added accommodation costs that come with the summer tourist trade. On the other hand, during the summer months all of the courses are under-utilised, so more leisurely, relaxing rounds can be enjoyed, often with discounted green fees. A handicap certificate is required at all courses.
