Golf in Algarve

* *

Algarve golf courses are world known for their quality and sophistication. They use the most modern facilities and lie among unspoiled natural beauty.

With its sunny climate, spectacular scenery, the local culture and low cost excellent cuisine makes Algarve a perfect all year golfing destination.

Most existing courses are situated west of Faro. within 15 km from the coast. The terrain varies from the steep hillsides of Parque da Floresta to the near sea-level flatlands of Vilamoura III and the recently opened course at Salgados which, in common with Palmares, includes links holes.

The terrain typical of most courses, however, gently slopes through copses of attractive umbrella pines.

There are so many golf courses in Algarve that even if you have been there it is unlikely that you are acquainted with all of them.

The best season for playing golf is from late autumn to late spring. The climate is mild and UK golfers can play when it is not possible to play at home. In the summer golf courses are less busy and you can enjoy more relaxing rounds.

Below are described 3 golf courses hearest to our rental villa but coincidentally they are recognised as some of the best!

The Morgado Golf Course is one of the longest in Algarve (6.399 meters). It has five PAR 5 holes, nine PAR 4's and four PAR 3's.

This course is quite new and was open in 2003. Situated North of Portimao it is the nearest to Casa Abilheira. It is situated on a vast 980 hectare estate through undulating small valleys.

The large open spaces will demand good putting skills. Also there are deep bunkers so the player must be accurate.

The spacious Clubhouse has inspiring views over Morgado Golf Course. From the south terrace you can see the entire driving range and twelve of the eighteen holes. There are restaurant, bar, grill, changing facilities and a pro shop.

A further 18 hole course is already in the planning stage.
