Villas to Go recommended golf courses...

Ocean – A course aptly named because of its stunning views of the sea as the holes wander through pine trees and the homes lining the fairways. One of the Algarve’s older courses, and responsible for putting Algarve on the golfing map.

Royal – Some new holes were added to the original Vale do Lobo course to create this skilful layout filled with challenges. The famous ‘seventh’ hole of the old course is the sixteenth on the new one.

Quinta do Lago South – A neighbouring championship level golf course in Quinta do Lago which has been used several times in the Portuguese Open. The course favours the long hitter, but presents a challenge for all levels of player.

Take time to go…

Make the most of the great outdoors and take a walk in the Rio Formosa National park and see some of the regional birds which nest there.

Visit your local market and choose from fresh local produce or explore the pottery shops along the N125, and take home some hand painted ceramics.

Explore historic Faro, and visit the Bishops Palace or Renaissance-style cathedral. Take in Carmo Church where chapel walls are decorated with bones, or discover the Roman ruins of Estoi at the Archaeological museum. Finish the day in a restaurant hiding in a tree-lined street and enjoy the ambience of this tranquil old town.
