Portugal has all of the essential components needed for a golf break; friendly English-speaking staff, an excellent sunny climate most of the year, and of course, amazing championship standard golf courses worthy of European Tour Events. 

Portugal is widely considered to be a key golf destination in Europe and has options for every type of traveler, regardless of their needs. Whether you are looking for a budget 3-star hotel or two weeks in a 5-star resort, Golf Holidays Direct has something to offer you. The selection of fantastic golf hotels in Portugal combines perfectly with the amazing golf courses the company has to offer to offer the perfect golf break.

The Algarve is the main golf destination in Portugal for an inclusive golf break package due to the wide range of golf courses and hotels and of course the fantastic weather. The Amendoeira is a favourite amongst golfers with two amazing golf courses on-site which are the Faldo and o Connor Courses, as well as the Dona Filipa, and chain of all-inclusive NAU Hotels such as Palm Village and Sao Rafeal Suite.

Whilst there is a frequent perception that with great golf breaks in Portugal come to a hefty price tag, this is not overly true as most hotels have teamed up with golf courses offering complete affordable golf break packages. 

With the development of new regions, such as Western Algarve, comes a breakthrough of up-and-coming superb golf courses, including Salgados, Boavista, and Morgado. Some flagship golf clubs include the Dom Pedros ( Old, Victoria & Millennium ) and Quinta do Lagos ( North & South ), and Vale Do Lobo. Not only will visitors here be spoilt for choice in the range of golf courses and resorts they can enjoy the vast array of restaurants and fishing villages.
