Portugal’s iconic resorts and top quality golf courses make for a truly memorable experience. Golfers flock to Portugal, year after year, to play the incredible courses due to the fact that the quality and sheer density of world-class golf courses are unparalleled in Europe. Located on the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal has a rich and unique culture which can be discovered in the country's vibrant cities as well as the beautiful countryside. The landscape is diverse, the scenery is outstanding and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The country enjoys year-round sunshine and warm weather so Portugal is the perfect location for a golfing getaway no matter the time of year.
Portugal is suitable for the whole family; it has everything from medieval castles and sandy beaches, to delicious food and fantastic nightlife. Whether you take a relaxing stroll along the beach or experience Portugal’s vibrant culture, you’re sure to find endless options to help you make the most of your Portugal golf break.
Unlike anywhere else in Europe, most of Portugal enjoys year-round sunshine making it an extremely popular location for golf professionals and amateurs alike. Because of this, the popularity of off-season tourism is growing in Portugal; visiting the Algarve, the country's southern region, in the Spring and Autumn is ideal for playing golf, with temperatures averaging between 14-25C. Course rates are likely to be lower, with more availability and during this time you can enjoy some of the best weather in Portugal while avoiding the busiest periods.
Portugal is always host to sunseekers and therefore if you are visiting to play golf, the summer months and holiday seasons should probably be avoided.
