Golf holidays in Portugal are perfect if you want year-round sunshine, plenty of charm and first class golf courses. A mere 2-3 hour flight from most European capitals, Portugal has been a magnet to many discerning golfers for almost three decades.

In the Algarve, golden sandy beaches and pretty fishing villages mix with glitzy marinas and a buzzing nightlife, while in Lisbon you'll explore its cobble stoned pavements and narrow streets full of cafés, bars and restaurants.

The most popular golfing area is the Algarve, however the beautiful region of Lisbon is now extremely popular with the travelling golfer, due to its fantastic championship standard courses, all competatively priced.

Portugal's main golf season is from late autumn to late spring. Winters are mild and golfers from northern European countries can enjoy warm, sunny days and keep their swings smooth at a time when their home courses are unplayable.
