Top Golf Courses in Portugal…
Portugal now has a total of 75 golf courses. Among the wide array of layouts, there are certain favourites shown in our client feedback.
West Cliffs Golf Links
With its stunning views of the Atlantic, West Cliffs will be sure to fulfil any golfer’s desires. Various tee positions mean players of all abilities can experience West Cliffs Golf Links but be warned, this course will demand straight, accurate golf shots if you have any chance of scoring well. Located on the Silver Coast, on the same site as the well-known Praia D’El Rey Resort, West Cliffs has become one of the top-ranked courses in Lisbon.
Monte Rei
Designed by the renowned Jack Nicklaus and featuring a grand hilltop clubhouse, Monte Rei is rated number 1 in Portugal and one of the best courses in Europe. Going above and beyond for customers is a Monte Rei speciality – with top-quality staff, exceptional facilities, and a personal club cleaning service, this resort will not disappoint. We highly recommend that you allow time to enjoy the clubhouse before you head out on the course. With lovely views from the terrace and fantastic service, you will be in a relaxed state and well-prepared to play this spectacular golf course. If you want the best care and customer experience, this is without a doubt the spot for you.
Quinta Do Lago
Providing golfers with immaculately manicured fairways and an amazing new €7 million upgrade, Quinta Do Lago unveils its new and improved South course. Known for having 8 appearances on the European tour, this is undeniably an unforgettable experience. The greens are quick and true, and the South course plays the longest of the three Quinta do Lago courses, so you will need to be hitting long irons into many of the greens.

FAQs
Discover answers to common questions about golfing holidays in Portugal
Best value: Boavista Golf & Spa Resort, Algarve
Best course for low handicappers: Oitavos Dunes
Best overall golf experience: Monte Rei
Best resort golf: Praia D’El Rey & West Cliffs Golf Links
The most popular region of Portugal for golf has always been the Algarve, home to the Dom Pedro Old Course, Quinta do Lago, and Monte Rei to name but a few. However, Lisbon is also becoming more recognised as a serious contender with new courses emerging, including the Dunas Course at Terras da Comporta & West Cliffs Golf Links. Both areas offer a different but equally great golf holiday experience.
Portugal is home to around 75 golf courses, around half of which are located along the Algarve.
April-June and September-October are the most popular months of the year when it comes to golf, however, the weather remains mild even during their winter season, especially in the south where golf trips can be enjoyed all year round.
Our entry-level 3-night, 2-round packages start from £195 and can range up to our luxury 5* resort experiences.
For a traditional Portuguese experience, we recommend Tavira in the eastern Algarve. Home to cobbled streets, authentic local cuisine and access to six golf courses including some of the finest in Portugal.
If you are after a budget-friendly experience, Pestana Vila Sol Golf & Resort Hotel in Vilamoura or Dolce Campo Real Resort & Spa in Lisbon are both fantastic choices.
If luxury is what you are after, then the Tivoli Vilamoura Marina is a great option. It is located in the heart of Vilamoura Marina in the Algarve. The marina is a vibrant area with plenty of bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the hotel.
