Why Monte Gordo is Great for Golf Holidays
Monte Gordo has a really easy, welcoming feel to it — the kind of place where you instantly slow down. The huge sandy beach stretches for miles, the sea is warmer than anywhere else in the Algarve, and the long promenade is perfect for gentle walks, morning coffee stops, or just people-watching in the sun. It’s an ideal base if you want a laid-back holiday with great golf close by.
Golf-wise, you’re in a brilliant spot. Castro Marim Golf is only a few minutes away and offers three different nine-hole loops, plus the lovely Castro Marim Golf Resort for anyone who likes staying right on the course. Not far beyond that is Quinta do Vale, Seve Ballesteros’ impressive riverside design with wide fairways, big views, and those classic risk-reward holes he was famous for.
When you’re not playing, Monte Gordo can offer long beach walks, boat trips along the Guadiana River, strolls through the pine forests, or an explore of the nearby nature reserve. And if you fancy something a bit livelier in the evening, the local casino puts on nightly shows. All in all, it’s a lovely spot for couples, friends, and families who want sunshine, warm water, and genuinely good golf in a relaxed coastal setting.
