Portugal has become a devoted developer of courses but falls well behind
in numbers to its larger neighbour of Spain. However, the quality in
general of the nearly 60 courses that do exist provide some excellent
top level golfing locations.
The most popular and world known location is the Algarve. The climate
is ideal in the south with the winter months averaging about 16ºC. The
locations of the various courses stretch from Budens in the west
and along the coastline to the Spanish border at Vila Real de Santo
António. Due to the ease of access to all courses any golfer
staying in the Algarve can choose to play at any location. This is
providing it is not at the height of the season when starting times are
limited in availability due to the popularity and need to be prior
booked on the major courses. This problem is easily overcome by using
our sister site shown below offering great discount green fees.
If wishing to play the Algarve and enjoy discount Green Fees then we
recommend that you visit our sister site
www.algarvegolf.net for complete
details about the courses, discount green fee booking service, and lots
of other useful information. Likewise, if your wish to play in other
