Portugal

Portugal’s allure lies not only in its golden beaches and relaxed pace of life but in its evolution into one of Europe’s most captivating golf destinations. From the sun-soaked Algarve to the rugged Atlantic cliffs near Lisbon, the country presents a seamless blend of world-class golf, stunning scenery, and rich culture.

In the Algarve, courses like Monte Rei, designed by Jack Nicklaus, set the standard for luxury and precision. San Lorenzo, with its sweeping coastal views and pristine fairways, remains an enduring classic, while Quinta do Lago South and the Old Course Vilamoura showcase the region’s timeless golfing heritage. Nearby, The Els Club Vilamoura and Ombria Resort bring modern design and sustainability to the forefront, reflecting Portugal’s innovative golfing spirit.

Traveling north toward the Lisbon coast, the landscape transforms into dramatic dunes and ocean panoramas. Palmares and Dunas (at Terras da Comporta) offer links-style challenges framed by natural beauty, while Torre represents the next generation of Portuguese golf excellence. Closer to the capital, Oitavos Dunes—ranked among the world’s finest—melds coastal winds and minimalist design to perfection. Nearby, West Cliffs and Praia D’El Rey deliver unforgettable rounds overlooking the Atlantic, where rolling dunes meet ancient pine forests.

Together, these courses form a country-wide journey through Portugal’s golfing soul—a tapestry of tradition, innovation, and natural splendor. Beyond the fairways lie centuries-old towns, vibrant cuisine, and a warmth of hospitality that make every moment between rounds just as memorable.
