A Golf Holiday in Albufeira: Why You Should Go

Variety of Golf Courses

I've planned several golf breaks here, and I can assure you that every course offers something special. The Salgados Golf Course is a great illustration of how the Algarve blends challenges with natural beauty. Wide fairways and large greens are interspersed with strategically placed water hazards around the course.

Pine Cliffs Golf Course, on the other hand, boasts some of the most breathtaking seaside views you'll find anywhere on a golf course in Portugal, and its famous 'Devil's Parlour' Par-3 is a hole you'll be talking about long after your holiday is over.
Balaia Golf Village offers a more manageable challenge for someone trying to improve their short game. Instead of testing your strength, the course designers have strategically positioned bunkers and smaller greens to test your accuracy.
Special recognition should be given to the Amendoeira resort. The courses here were crafted by two legends of the game, and I've found the villa packages with included golf rounds offer excellent value. Many of my clients opt to base themselves here for their entire golf holiday.

When you stay near the Salgados properties, you'll have three quality courses at your doorstep, typically included in our golf packages. Plus, you're perfectly positioned to venture over to Vilamoura's top golf courses, which we can easily incorporate into your golf break itinerary.

Perfect Climate for Year-Round Golf

The Algarve's climate is one of its strongest selling points for golf holidays. With over 300 days of sunshine annually and mild winters, you can comfortably play right through the year. I particularly recommend spring and autumn for golf breaks, when temperatures are ideal for 36 holes a day if you're feeling ambitious.

Practical Local Tips:

• Book twilight tee times in summer for better rates
• The Strip area comes alive post-golf - perfect for group celebrations
• Local restaurants in the Old Town excel at catering to golf groups
• Most resorts offer excellent practice facilities - arrive early to warm up
• Airport transfers with golf club transport are readily available
• Quality Accommodation Options

For luxury golf breaks, the Pine Cliffs Golf Resort sets a high standard, offering premium accommodation with privileged access to their spectacular course. If you're arranging a golf holiday for beginners or families, the Balaia Golf Village Resort provides an excellent 9-hole course in an intimate setting. For all-inclusive golf packages, I often recommend the NAU collection properties - either Salgados Palm Village or Sao Rafael Suites.

Best Value Golf Packages

Many resort courses offer seasonal rates and twilight deals, making Albufeira golf breaks surprisingly affordable. When booking golf packages at resort courses, you'll often find complimentary rounds or reduced green fees included. Book well ahead for the best deals, especially if you're planning a group golf holiday.
Beyond the Golf Course After your round, Albufeira really comes into its own. From relaxed beachside cafés to lively pubs, the town offers a lot of entertainment. From stunning beaches to waterparks like Zoomarine, there is plenty to keep non-golfers entertained.
You get an authentic taste of Portuguese culture in the old town, with cobbled streets and traditional fishermen's cottages. You have to try the renowned piri-piri chicken and fresh seafood, washed down with a cold beer or Sangria for an excellent for post-round dinner.
