A golf trip to Portugal is a fantastic choice for several reasons:
1. World-Class Golf Courses. Portugal is home to some of the best golf courses in Europe, particularly in the Algarve, Lisbon, and Porto regions. Many of these courses are designed by legendary golf architects like Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones Jr.
2. Ideal Weather. With a mild climate year-round, Portugal offers excellent golfing conditions, even in the winter. The Algarve, in particular, enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year.
3. Stunning Scenery. From cliffside ocean views to lush green fairways set against rolling hills, Portugal’s golf courses provide breathtaking landscapes. The Oitavos Dunes (Lisbon) and Monte Rei (Algarve) are prime examples.
