‘Green’ is the colour as Algarve readies for UK golf reunion

Monday, Apr 04, 2022 0

Portugal offers golfers from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the opportunity to tee on the world-renowned destination’s 43 sun-kissed courses.

The Algarve has seen significant investment during the lockdown period as the destination strives to provide a best-in-class experience with course maintenance teams across the region demonstrating unwavering commitment to ensure optimum playing conditions await the returning golfers.

Meanwhile, a renovation of the South Course at Quinta do Lago will be ready for play in September, while the new Wyndham Grand Hotel has also opened nearby. Further west in Lagos, a brand new clubhouse at Palmares has opened to further complement the fantastic 27-hole resort. On the horizon, there is growing excitement ahead of the new Ombria Resort near Loulé launched in early 2022.

For more than 50 years, golf travelers have been venturing to the Algarve, attracted by the promise of sunshine golf.

Golf was born here in 1966 – when Henry Cotton first laid out the Championship course at Penina – and has blossomed over half a century to its position as a world-leading golf destination, as voted for by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), in 2020.

Visiting golfers are now met with a staggering choice of 43 nine or 18-hole layouts that can be played all-year-round, with the Algarve providing great hospitality to hundreds of thousands of golfers on its fairways each year.

Situated on the southern coastline of mainland Portugal, a host of international direct flights are received into Faro airport, with visitors benefitting from a 150-mile coastline, decorated by some of Europe’s best-known golf courses.

In addition, holidaymakers can enjoy spectacular beaches, picturesque rocky coves, quaint fishing villages and a rich cultural heritage.

The Algarve is the perfect destination golfers of all ages and abilities, with something to suit every taste and budget.
