When it comes to exploring some of the best golf courses in the Algarve, Faro is a fantastic place to start. Fly into the Algarve's main airport at Faro and choose from several local resorts and golf courses. Aside from golf in the Algarve, you can explore Faro's historical walled city, which is home to cathedrals, winding cobblestone streets, and Faro Marina. We recommend that Faro is part of your holiday as a day trip. Several resorts further down the coast offer more to the golf traveller.
The town of Faro is well known as the major airport in southern Portugal and within easy reach of some of the best golf resorts in the Algarve all of which can be booked with 360 Golf Holidays.
The Vale do Lobo Ocean Course is made up of two of the original 9-hole golf courses in the Algarve designed by Sir Henry Cotton. Both feature undulating fairways running alongside the nature reserve, before crossing down towards the Ocean. Before leading gently down to the shores of the Atlantic.
The Vale do Lobo Royal Course is located at the centre of the community and is well maintained. The fairways, tee-boxes, and greens are kept in excellent shape all year. The fairways are gently undulating and bordered by pine trees, lakes, and wildflowers for a lovely backdrop.
