Golf courses in Albufeira

Albufeira has one decisive argument as a golf base: it sits almost exactly in the centre of the Algarve's golf offering, giving access in both directions along the coast. To the east, the prestigious courses of Quinta do Lago, San Lorenzo and Vale do Lobo's Royal and Ocean courses are all within thirty minutes. To the west, the more diverse offering around Lagoa, Silves and Carvoeiro opens up. Vilamoura with its five courses is twenty minutes away. The town itself is the most commercially developed resort on the Algarve coast — enormous in summer and lively year-round, with a wide range of hotels, apartments and restaurants at every price point. The Old Town quarter, with its whitewashed houses and clifftop church, provides a more atmospheric alternative to the busy marina and beach areas. Faro Airport is thirty minutes east, with direct flights from the Netherlands and across northern Europe. For golfers who want maximum accessibility to the widest range of Algarve courses, with well-developed tourist infrastructure and competitive accommodation prices, Albufeira is a very practical and popular choice. Tee times at most Algarve courses are easy to book online via Leading Courses.
