Whether you wish to improve your game or you have just discovered that golf is fast becoming one of your great passions, you don’t need any more excuses for choosing Portugal as your destination, with its warm hospitality, sunny climate, and impeccably kept golf courses in beautiful settings.

All these are good reasons for booking your place at one of our Golf Academies certified by the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA), where the improvement of your golfing skills is placed in the hands of professionals.

In Lisbon / Estoril, you have the advantage of being able to divide your time between discovering the charms of the Portuguese capital and paying a visit to the elegant seaside resort of Estoril, where you will still find many memories of the exiled European royalty who once lived here, as well as having the chance to enjoy the romantic cultural landscape of Sintra, the favourite retreat of the kings and queens of Portugal.

Bennett’s Golf Learning Centre is one of the many golf academies in the region and, on the Estoril Sol nine-hole course, you can check the progress you’ve made with your swing.

David Leadbetter chose Vale da Pinta, close to the picturesque beach of Carvoeiro, to establish his famous academy. It’s one of the many to choose from in what is now Europe’s top golfing destination, the Algarve. It is here that you’ll find the best beaches and warm sunshine throughout all four seasons of the year, except, of course, in the evening when other lights are turned on to add colour to the night.
