Benamor.
Your Next Golf Escape Starts Here.
Benamor enjoys a convenient location on the EN-125 main road midway between Faro Airport and the Spanish border.
This very popular track is just 10 minutes’ drive from the centre of Tavira and 5 minutes from the increasingly popular village of Cabanas.
If you love golf and you love nature, then this a course you will enjoy. Benamor has some great sea and mountain views, and the fairways are lined with various types of tree; fig, cork olive and carob trees are in abundance and add to the sense that you are in the countryside.
This was the first course in the Eastern Algarve when it opened in 2000, and has matured into a wonderful place to play golf. The only housing you’ll see are traditional farmhouses dotted around the beautiful surrounding landscape – truly golf and nature at its finest.
The course was actually designed by Sir Henry Cotton, British Open champion and long-time resident in The Algarve and is not a long course by modern standards. The clubhouse is a rustically converted old church and is one of the most interesting along the coast. There is invariably a good value “Menu of the Day” on offer and a friendly welcome. Both nines start and finish right by the clubhouse for players’ convenience.
The challenge here is from the well-designed par 3 holes and many choose a buggy to tackle the undulating terrain with. The course starts gently to enable you to get a few points under your belt but then bites you! The fairways are not tight but the rough, trees and sloping terrain can be punishing. Each hole has been designed to take advantage of the terrain and there is a great mix of easy and challenging holes. The greens can be very quick and tricky. There are a few water hazards dotted around but nothing that requires a significant carry.
Green fees at Benamor are lower than The Algarve average and can be incorporated into a great golf package with the growing number of golf courses in the Eastern Algarve and even over the Spanish border. This is a very popular course – with its friendly relaxed welcome, convenient location, good value green fee, stunning views, and enjoyable layout, it is easy to see why.
If you love golf and you love nature, then this a course you will enjoy. Benamor has some great sea and mountain views…

Just returned from a 5 day golf break to Tavira, Portugal on Nick's recommendation. It was absolutely lovely. Stayed at Maria Nova Lounge hotel which was a real gem. Close to the lovely cobbled centre of Tavira for some wonderful restaurants and Portuguese charm, and only 15 minutes transfer to the 2 golf courses we played, Benamor and Quinta da Ria. We played each twice, and they offered different challenges but both thoroughly enjoyable. The staff at the hotel and at the courses, and the locals in Tavira were are very welcoming and pleased to help. The local area offers more than just golf and we hope to explore it a bit more because we plan to go back.

Have been very impressed by you and your team.
Have been very impressed by you and your team. I plan to contact you about a golfing break later this year with my partner Sarah (a great golfer...unfortunately!). I also had a brilliant, hilarious conversation with your colleague Chris earlier this week. Give her my regards.

Golf Escapes will be our first point of contact now for future holidays!
Just returned from 7 nights staying in the wonderful Maria Nova Lounge Hotel, Tavira, Portugal and playing 4 rounds of golf over the week. Everything that was arranged by golf escapes ran like clockwork, hotel is lovely, the transfers from airport/hotel/golf etc were absolutely spot on, always on time. The 2 golf courses we played were also very accommodating and both were in very good condition ( Quinta do vale & Castro Marim ) with excellent service in the clubhouse. The staff at the hotel were great and a lovely touch was leaving a bottle of sparkling wine in the bedroom for one of our party on their birthday which we hadn’t mentioned to any of the staff. First time we have used golf escapes but they will be our first point of contact now for future holidays, well done.

Thank you.
As always this was brilliantly organised by your team. A good time was enjoyed by all of us with probably a little too much beer and wine. Golf and weather was great!

None come even close to Golf Escapes for first class service
This is, I think, my 6th or 7th year of organising a golf trip and I have tried a few other companies...but none come even close to Golf Escapes for first class service, great advice and great prices. If I have ever had an issue, either before or during the trip, they have sorted it without fuss or delay. I once called them from the plane at the stand at Gatwick to tell them French ATC had just gone on strike and our departure was going to be delayed and we would miss our tee off time. Within 15 mins they had changed the tee off times and called me back to tell me not to worry (not easy when you had 20 people relying on you!). 10 mins later the pilot came on the tanoy to say we had clearance to go so I called GE back and they changed the slots back, no fuss, no drama. Top people. I won't go anywhere else.

All arrangements by Golf Escapes worked very well!
9 of us went to Cascais, hotel and courses (Estoril, Penha Longa, Oitavos Dunes and Belas) all decent/very good. That coast can be windy though! All arrangements by Golf Escapes worked very well including hire cars, which can be troublesome. Competitive price vs other well known golf tour companies.
