Regions of Excellence: Where Every Round is a Retreat
Portugal offers concentrated golfing excellence in its most popular tourist regions, making multi-region itineraries easy to customize:
The Algarve: Often dubbed the "Golfing Capital of Europe," the Algarve boasts over 40 courses. Highlights include the luxury resort complexes of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, offering multiple championship layouts. For a truly top-tier experience, Monte Rei Golf & Country Club, a Jack Nicklaus signature course, is consistently ranked among the best in Europe.
Lisbon Coast: The area surrounding Portugal's charming capital offers a diverse golfing landscape. Here you'll find dramatic links-style courses like Oitavos Dunes, with its stunning ocean views, alongside beautiful parkland layouts. It's perfect for combining city exploration with exceptional golf.
