Three kinds of golf in one country: the resort courses of the Algarve, the links and cliff-top courses of the Atlantic coast around Lisbon, and historic Atlantic golf around Porto.
Every trip is built around you: the courses you want to play, where you stay, and as much of Lisbon, Sintra, Porto or the Douro as you like around the golf. We quote it, our team on the ground runs it.
What’s on
Each has its own page with the full details. We build it around you and quote it for you.
Eight nights: Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais, then three nights by the sea at Vilamoura with sample rounds at the Old Course and Quinta do Lago, and private guided days out. Built for golfers and non-golfers together.
Nine nights from north to south in five-star hotels: Oporto Golf Club, Oitavos Dunes, Dunas at Comporta and Ombria, with Porto, the Douro, Sintra and Lisbon on the way.
Any dates, any length: start with our featured courses in the Algarve, the Lisbon coast, Comporta, the Silver Coast and Porto, or let us recommend others. We build it around you.
Our featured courses, region by region. We can arrange golf at almost any 18-hole course in Portugal: tell us where you would like to play, or let us recommend courses for you, your dates and your level.
Golf is played all year, above all in the Algarve, the driest and sunniest part of the country: Faro's average high is 16.3°C in January and 29.4°C in July, with almost no rain from June to August. Lisbon is a little cooler and wetter, and Porto wetter still, with most of its rain from October to May. Spring and autumn are warm without the heat of high summer. (Averages for 1991 to 2020, from IPMA, Portugal's weather service.)
The port lodges in Porto, then a day in the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley with a river cruise and tastings at a quinta.
Wine estates in the plains east of Lisbon, and the old town of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.
A food tour of Lisbon, seafood on the coast, pastéis de Belém and long lunches at the wine estates.
Lisbon, Sintra and Porto with a private guide, at your own pace, while the golfers play or on shared days.
