Elite Portugal Golf Trip - 9 Nights Lisbon to Faro

Nine nights gives you the chance to experience Portugal properly. Rather than settling into one resort for the entire trip, this itinerary takes you from Lisbon to Faro, combining two of the country’s great golf regions with enough time to enjoy what lies beyond the fairways.

The journey begins around Lisbon, where championship golf sits alongside Atlantic coastline, historic towns and one of Europe’s most enjoyable capitals. Courses in this part of Portugal tend to feel a little different from their Algarve counterparts, with rolling terrain, pine forests and coastal landscapes creating plenty of variety. Lisbon itself adds another dimension, with excellent restaurants, nightlife and centuries of history to explore between rounds.

From there, you’ll make your way south towards the Algarve. This is Portugal’s best-known golf region for good reason. Championship courses, luxury resorts and long stretches of coastline have made it a favorite with visiting golfers for decades. With nine nights to work with, the itinerary has a more relaxed feel and gives you greater opportunity to experience both regions rather than rushing from one stop to the next.

That contrast is what makes the trip. One day you might be playing beside the Atlantic outside Lisbon, and later in the week you could be teeing off beneath the Algarve sunshine before settling in for dinner on the southern coast.

For American golfers making the trip across the Atlantic, this is a chance to see more of Portugal in one vacation, with great golf providing the thread that ties everything together.
