Amendoeira Golf Resort sits slightly inland in Portugal’s Algarve, about 40 minutes from Faro Airport. It’s known for its two 18-hole championship courses, the Faldo Course and the O’Connor Jnr Course, both very different in style, which keeps a multi-round stay interesting.

The Faldo Course is the tougher of the two. It’s strategic, with plenty of bunkering, water hazards, and a layout that rewards careful course management rather than brute force. The O’Connor Jnr Course is more forgiving and open, with wider fairways and a smoother rhythm, making it a good balance if you’re mixing competitive rounds with relaxed golf.

Accommodation is modern and spacious, mainly apartments and villas set within the resort, so it suits groups and longer stays. Everything is self-contained, with a central clubhouse, practice facilities, and a short transfer between courses and rooms. Dining is simple and convenient rather than flashy, clubhouse meals, casual drinks, and easy access to nearby Algarve towns if you want more choice. It’s a calm, organised resort that focuses on golf first, with plenty of space, good conditioning, and a no-rush atmosphere that works well for UK golfers on a short break or longer golf holiday.
