A shot in the ocean /
A shot in the ocean
Place: Alto Golfe, Algarve

With about 30 high-class courses, the Algarve is visited by golfers from all over the world.
The many hours of sunshine, which allow you to play until late, and the fabulous climate, make the region a golfing destination throughout the year.

In the Algarve, the quality of the fairways is a constant concern. The courses were designed by respected names, such as Henry Cotton, Rocky Roquemore or Arnold Palmer, and provide a good challenge. Accept and give wing to your swing on flat or rough courses, nearly always with the ocean as a backdrop.

With degrees of difficulty for all, many of the courses are on the international circuit, regularly hosting important competitions. Get acquainted with courses, such as San Lorenzo and the Old Course in Vilamoura, ranking amongst the best in Europe.
If you’re still not satisfied with your swing, improve it at an Academy. They are waiting for you at the David Leadbetter in Carvoeiro and at the Grotter, at the Alto Golfe (Portimão) and at the Vila Sol (Vilamoura). After the game, socialise in friendly clubhouses.

Supplement your golfing experience in the Algarve, by getting to know the region. Swim in warm, calm water and indulge in water sports. At night, place a bet in the casino or visit the beach bar. Take the opportunity to get to know our excellent cuisine and wines.
