Best Trips For True Golf Lovers
The climate of the Algarve and its lovely beaches meant that as soon as air travel in search of the sun became the aim of everyone at least once a year, numbers began to arrive. As the popularity of golf increased golf tourism became big business and once again the Algarve had something to offer. The first course were built half a century ago in lovely setting of forests, hills and sea. The fact that the region’s airport, Faro has frequent flights to many regional airports is a huge bonus. The flight time is such that golfers can play on the same day as they fly, inward and on their return day.
With plenty of flights and golf courses happy to take tee time bookings in advance, the only missing ingredient is accommodation. There is something on the Algarve to suit every budget.
The Algarve’s tourist infrastructure developed as numbers increased. There is something for every price range:
The first decision anyone needs to make is where specifically they wish to play. Given that flights are available the next task is to plan the itinerary. There are several towns that are good bases for golfers with a number of courses close by. Vilamoura and Portimao are popular choices while complexes like Penina and Four Seasons Fairway Resort link excellent accommodation to golf with discounts available for guests.
There is nothing wrong with looking at websites where accommodation is regularly reviewed. Those people who have made all the golf arrangements online and perhaps booked a hire car to give them complete freedom can pretty much suit themselves on where to stay. It is nice to stay in a lively town with nice restaurants so booking an apartment or villa and dining out each evening is popular.
Alternatively others like service and convenience. Hotels that are happy to organise airport and course transfers are the choice of those not wanting to drive during the holiday; that way no one needs to be concerned with alcohol and driving. The season in Algarve is long with golfers even coming in the winter when the poor North European winter makes golf less attractive. There are places that are happy to accept guests at any time and plenty of information online about what is available.
