Playing golf in Portugal is one of the major past times of holiday makers to one of the best golf destinations in Europe.

Portugal is rightly known as a golfers paradise as not only does it have over seventy golf courses, it has the climate to go with them, so you can play golf all year, non stop.

Many of the Portuguese golf courses are located near the sea and Portugal has plenty of it, right from the north west border with Spain there is a huge stretch of spectacular Atlantic ocean right down to Lisbon, then in the south there is the Mediterranean coast and the Algarve.

Over the years Portugal has attracted the great golf course architects, great names such as Arnold Palmer, Rocky Roquemore and Henry Cotton. They have put in the design and difficulty which have made Portugal's golf courses great and of course the major golf tournaments have moved in as a result.
