Golf in Portugal
The Algarve is Europe's premier winter-sun golf coast — a warm, reliable escape headlined by Monte Rei, a Jack Nicklaus Signature course long rated the best in the country.
Mild year-round; spring & autumn ideal; one of Europe's best winter-sun golf escapes
Portugal's Algarve is the reliable winter-sun answer for European golfers: a long southern coast of mild, sunny days when the rest of the Continent is frozen, dense with resort courses and easy to reach through Faro. It is one of the best-value warm-weather golf trips within a short flight of the UK and northern Europe.
Its standard-bearer sits in the quieter eastern Algarve: Monte Rei, a Jack Nicklaus Signature course that reigned as Portugal's No. 1 for around fifteen years and remains one of the country's two or three finest. We pair it with Quinta do Lago, the flagship three-course resort in the central Algarve's 'Golden Triangle'.
