Top Tips for an Algarve Golf Holiday
Here are some frequently asked questions regarding one of our favourite golf holiday destinations:
The Algarve Golf Top Tips
Which resort is best to stay for a golf holiday in the Algarve?
Vilamoura is excellent, it enjoys the best of both worlds. Great bars and restaurants along with world-class golf courses only minutes away from the resort. We also highly recommend the resort of Quinta do Lago in Eastern Algarve if looking for a luxury experience. The town of Lagos in the Western Algarve is also a great option if seeking a more traditional Portuguese seaside resort experience with some unmissable golf courses including Palmares only a short transfer away.
Is golf expensive in the Algarve?
There is no one size fits all answer to this. You can enjoy a great value golf break in the Algarve if you travel off-season typically November to February or late June to August where green fees are much reduced. It all depends on the experience you are looking for. Our golf experts can give you first-hand information on everything you need to know! Have a look at our latest Algarve Golf Holiday Offers >
What are the best golf resorts in the Algarve for couples?
If looking for the complete experience with golf, spa and fine dining then we recommend the Hotel Quinta do Lago - it is 5 star, close to the beach and offers couples the ultimate golf holiday experience. There are many others to choose from including hidden gems such as the Palmares Beach House and old favourites such as Dona Filipa and Penina golf resorts too.
What are the best golf resorts in the Algarve for groups?
Groups love Albufeira and Vilamoura as a general rule because they offer the sacred combination of great golf nearby and nightlife on your doorstep. If your group prefers to stay onsite at a golf resort then the likes of NAU Salgados Palm Village have all inclusive golf packages with free transfers to the nearby courses too!
When is the best time to play golf in the Algarve?
The most popular months are typically April - June and September - October. The weather is perfect for golf and avoids the summer heat! However, if flexible, you can grab yourself a great price and tee time availability if willing to travel outside of these months. The Algarve has a generally fantastic golfers climate year-round.
Best all inclusive golfers hotels in the Algarve?
Robinson Club Quinta da Ria is a great value all-inclusive choice in Eastern Algarve. It has the terrific Quinta da Ria and Quinta da Cima golf courses right on your doorstep. The NAU Salgados Palm Village is also very good value too and you can play golf on the European Tour venue Morgado Golf Course too.
Best golf courses in Vilamoura
There are many great courses in this golf rich area. Our favourites include the Dom Pedro Old Course and Dom Pedro Victoria - home of the Portuguese Masters every year! Only 10-15 minutes transfer away takes you to the stunning Vale do Lobo Ocean and Royal courses and unmissable Quinta do Lago North, Quinta do Lago South and Quinta do Lago Laranjal golf courses.
