Why We Love Golf in the Algarve?

The Algarve has so much to offer that you'll return for more. Every year, our team comes to ensure that our knowledge and advice for clients are up to date.

Excellent service, great price and quick reply. Recently travelled to Amendoeira golf resort in the Algarve with 360. We had a great trip at a very good price. They were very helpful in picking the venue, giving us several options to choose from and very prompt in replying to all our questions. Will definitely use 360 again for our Algarve golf spa break.

Great Trip to Salgados Palm village and NAU run golf courses.
The very helpful team at 360 Golf Holidays, Jeff was very helpful in selecting a suitable venue for our trip, as we were quite a large group there were changes to requirements through the booking process and Jeff managed these very well. Also thanks to Maria who managed the post-booking elements.
The hotel and courses were as described and very much meet our expectations, I would not have any concerns in recommending to friends. All pickups etc were on time and golf round times were not an issue as mentioned on some of the golf course reviews. One concern was that as we wanted to go into town one night and the hotel was about 15 minutes from Albufeira taxis would be expensive, this was not the case as the hotel organised a minibus for all 16 of us and the cost was only 35 Euros each way. In a nutshell, a great tour was had by all

Just a fantastic experience for my colleagues and I. 5 Stars indeed! From first contact 360 made everything simple, and I was left with no queries at all throughout the communication.
Laura M
Great value golfing break with a personal touch. This is the first time we have used 360 Golf Holidays, and it won’t be the last. We would highly recommend their services. From our first contact to our welcome home email, our representative, Maria was first class. Every query we had was promptly replied to and answered.
All five golf courses we played in Villamoura were excellent, and all our golf transfers and airport transfers were seamless. Due to some personal circumstances, we had forgotten to update Maria with our return flight change, but she managed to sort out the airport transfer for us at very short notice, which was impressive and much appreciated.
Our apartment was well situated, close to all the golf courses, and not far from the Marina, and we were lucky with the weather too. It has been a fabulous and much needed holiday. Thank you so much for your personal touches and attention to detail.
