Golf in Portugal

Portugal golf breaks offer a rich history dating back to the 1920s, when British expats introduced the sport to the country. Since then, Portugal has become one of the most famous golfing destinations in the world.

The first golf course in the Algarve was built between Portimão and Praia da Rocha beach, the green constructed of the natural landscape’s sand and oil. Some 40 years later, Sir Henry Cotton built the first traditional grass course, thus introducing the sport’s notoriety.

Portugal’s warm Mediterranean climate and scenic coastal regions make it a favourable spot for golf trips in Europe . Its location in southern Europe provides easy access from many other countries, while its hospitality culture and stunning courses cement its popularity for enthusiasts of all skill levels.

Favourite destinations for a golf getaway

The Algarve excels for its awe-inspiring coastal courses with challenging terrain, while Madeira’s mountainous landscapes and temperate climate are a popular choice.

Each destination has its own distinct features and wonderful hotels that place them among the best Portugal golf resorts.

Top golf courses

Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo in the Algarve are two of the best courses in Portugal, with challenging terrain and stunning coastal views.

Excellent service. Tom, Maria and the team never disappoint. Another faultlessly organised break, and we will be back.

5 Star service is the norm for 360. Tom and Maria will make your life as an organiser a dream, they are the masters of organisation, communication and dependability.

Excellent company to deal with. I have been using them for years. They come up with solutions for me every year and adapt to our changing needs.

Excellent trip from start to finish. I took a party of 5 fellow golfers to Portugal recently, played both courses at the Vale Do Lobo (Ocean & Royal) which included all golf fees, buggies & transfers from airport & hotel. The service I received from 360 Golf Holidays was excellent from booking the trip etc, Maria answered all questions which I raised promptly. I would certainly recommend & use 360 Golf Holidays for our next trip.

Superb customer service from the moment I contacted them. Great advice on country and resort with 2 great courses. Every aspect of our trip going like clockwork.

Popular destinations for Golf Resorts

When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.

Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.

Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!

Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

Golf in Madeira

Madeira has a total of 2 golf courses, with room still to grow. Among this selection, there are certain favourites shown in our client feedback.

Santo da Serra

Santo da Serra , designed by the famous Robert Trent Jones, is a must-play course on your next golf trip to Madeira. All 27 holes career over mountain slopes and ravines, this really is a spectacular course. The annual PGA Tour’s Madeira Open has been played at Santo da Serra for more than 10 years, and the comments of the pros bear testament to this wonderful course.

Palheiro is located just a 10-minute drive from Funchal and was designed by the leading golf architect Cabell Robinson, a must-play course on your next golf break to Madeira. Here golfers must utilise their skillset to negotiate strategically placed bunkers, raised greens, and natural undulations. This popular golf course offers an invigorating challenge to golfers, despite being relatively short in length.

As a keen golfer myself,  living and working in Portugal for the last 30 years, and representing Salgados Golf Club in the Algarve Interleague, it seemed a natural progression to build a golf holiday company working with courses I have played and enjoyed.  With my knowledge, I am able to offer expert advice on all of the courses and make your golf holiday one to remember.

With this in mind, I have successfully built up ”Portugal Golf Holidays” into one of the most popular and strongest operators in the Algarve region.  We are now currently working with every golf course and all major Hotel Chains and resorts across the Algarve.  My biggest attribute is being on the ground here in Portugal, this enables me to give a more personal touch to our clients, offering the best deals and help and support at all times.

We offer a meet and greet service if required and personally liaise with the resorts and courses, making sure everything goes according to plan.   All of the Hotels, courses and stay and play resorts have been personally visited.  Being on the ground here, we are able to organise any extra requirements, club hire, setting up competitions, nearest the pins, prizes etc.   We can also arrange large group bookings with restaurants and offer discounts.  We work with a reliable company called Gale Holiday Transfers for airport and golf transfers.

We look forward to organising your next Golf Holiday and wish all you golfers a great Golfing Experience here in Portugal.

Happy Golfing from all at Portugal Golf Holidays!
