Best Golf Courses in Algarve

Palmares Ocean Living & Golf Club

The Algarve is home to some of the best golf resorts and courses in Europe. Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Junior with the highest level of international golf in mind, Palmares Ocean Living & Golf Club is a standout among Algarve’s most iconic courses. Featuring 3 returning 9-hole loops that can be played in any sequence, the course provides a unique challenge to players of all skill sets. Having been voted the best golf course in Portugal for 7 consecutive years, Palmares is not one to be missed. 

Monte Rei Golf And Country Club

Set against the backdrop of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains, Monte Rei Golf Course is hailed as Portugal’s finest. Designed by “the Golden Bear” himself, Jack Nicklaus, the course has been challenging players of all abilities and handicaps since its opening in 2007. With its wide, forgiving fairways, mature trees and rolling valleys, every hole presents a distinctive and memorable challenge.  

Quinta do Lago Resort Courses

Since its creation, Quinta do Lago has been at the forefront of international golf. Today, its 3 courses rank among the finest in Europe, complemented by exceptional golf facilities like the Paul McGinley Golf Academy and Southern Europe’s only TaylorMade Performance Centre. Try the North Course for top-tier greens, bunkers and infrastructure, the South Course for its strategically placed hazards, and the Laranjal Course for a distinctive rolling terrain.

Where can we go for nightlife?

Other towns of note include Lagos which also has plenty of bars and restaurants to relax in away from the fairways.
