Elite Portugal Golf Trip - 12 Nights Porto to Algarve

If you want to see just how varied golf in Portugal can be, this is the way to do it. Over 12 nights, the journey takes you from Porto in the north all the way to the Algarve, turning a golf trip into a proper tour of the country.

Starting around Porto immediately gives this itinerary a different feel. Northern Portugal is far removed from the traditional Algarve golf experience, with Atlantic landscapes, historic surroundings and some of the country’s oldest golfing roots. In fact, the Porto region is where golf in Portugal first took hold, with Oporto Golf Club among the oldest courses in continental Europe.

From the north, the trip works its way south towards Lisbon, where the choice of golf expands considerably. Coastal layouts, pine forests and championship courses surround the capital, while Lisbon itself provides plenty of reasons to stay out after the clubs have been put away.

The final stretch takes you to the Algarve, Portugal‘s most established golf region. Here the atmosphere shifts again, with luxury resorts, warmer southern weather and a huge concentration of courses along the coast.

With 12 nights to enjoy it all, this itinerary is about much more than collecting rounds. You’ll experience three distinct sides of Portugal, spend time in some of its most interesting cities and watch the landscape change as you travel south.

For American golfers looking to make one big Portugal trip count, this is the full experience.
