Have you ever considered a Golfing Holiday in the Algarve, Portugal or in The Costa Del Sol, Malaga? Both of which are a short two to three hour flight from most European capitals into Faro Airport for Portugal and Malaga Airport for the Costa Del Sol. This short hop means you can get away for a weekend Golf break and still be back in time for work on Monday morning!

The Algarve is a natural region with beautiful mountains, valleys and unspoilt beaches on Portugal’s most Southern coast and it boasts over 30 Golf courses stretching across 100 miles of beautiful coastline all offering an excellent standard and of course stunning views. The climate of pretty much endless sunshine and low rain fall makes it one of the most popular destinations for Golf in Europe. They really have thought of everything to entice the Golfer to this part of Europe and even offer Golf Clubs to hire at Faro airport, so you can travel light!

The Costa Del Sol often referred to as the Costa Del Golf with good reason, there are now over 60 Golf Courses in this region of Spain 4 of which are ranked in the top 10 in Europe, Valderrama which has hosted the Ryder cup and in 2007 the Volvo masters commemorated it’s 20th anniversary there. A warm sunny climate attracts Golfer’s all year round and it is especially popular in the winter months with people travelling from the cooler European countries.

The Costa Del Sol is the most popular destination in Europe for Golf tourists and it has been granted permission from the authorities to use recycled water to irrigate Golf Courses. It is investing millions of Euros in expanding it’s network of recycled water to be able to supply 100 per cent of the Golf courses in the region. Due to the climate in Andalucia and the low rain fall as opposed to other European countries who receive an abundance of water naturally through rainfall, it is deemed the best and most environmentally friendly way of keeping the coasts courses up to a high standard, and they really are a high standard here!
