Portugal golf open in Estoril, Lisbon. Portugal villa holidaymakers enjoy world class golf facilities such as those available on the Penha Longa golf resort which hosts the Portuguese open this year.

The Portuguese open is an annual event which usually takes place in April, a time of year when the weather is often very good in Portugal and offers excellent golfing conditions.

The Portugal golf open for 2010 has been changed to June 10 to 13 this year following a re-scheduling of the Australian open. The golf open is Portugal’s most prestigious sporting event and has been running since 1953. It has usually been held in the Lisbon area on the Estoril coast, predominantly at the Club de Golf Estoril.

Tourisimo Estoril will once again be supporting the event, know as the Estoril Open de Portugal and it is expected to attract Europe’s finest professional golfers. Last year it was won by Northern Ireland’s Michael Hoey who scooped the 1.25 million Euro prize.

Portugal villa holidaymakers are spoilt for choice with numerous world class golf courses all along the coast.
