These courses are designed by some of the world’s top golf architects and are known for their challenging holes, well-manicured greens, and stunning views of the ocean and surrounding landscape.

Golfers will be able to take advantage of the hot, dry conditions between May and September at one of the area’s three enticing 18-hole courses.

The par-72 Gramacho was originally a 9-hole course before being extended and caters for those wishing to play tennis, lawn bowls, football, and basketball. Similarly, the par-71 Vale da Pinta course set amongst olive, fig and almond trees that provide an authentic Algarve taste offers a similar range of facilities.

Meanwhile, the slightly shorter par-70 Silves course provides golfers with the challenge of finding a balance between attacking play and hitting too far due to well-placed sand traps.
