When to go

Golf is played all year in Portugal, above all in the Algarve. Spring and autumn are warm without the heat of high summer; the north is wettest from October to May.

Getting there

Fly into Faro for the Algarve, Lisbon for the Lisbon coast, Comporta and the Silver Coast, or Porto for the north. Mainland Portugal keeps the same time as the UK.

Entry

No visa for British passport holders staying up to 90 days in any 180. Your passport must be less than 10 years old on the day you arrive and valid for 3 months after you leave. Your fingerprints and photo may be taken at the border under the EU Entry/Exit System.

Handicaps

Many clubs ask for a handicap certificate and some set a maximum. Bring yours.

Groups and societies

From two golfers to a whole society. Tell us your numbers and we plan the trip around them. Non-golfing partners are welcome and we plan their days too: wine and food experiences, Lisbon or Porto touring, Sintra, the Douro, the Alentejo, spa and wellness, arranged while the golfers play or on shared days.
