Why Portugal for a group golf trip
Portugal gives you two very different golf trips. Around Lisbon, you play by the Atlantic and spend the evenings in one of Europe's most charming capitals. In the Algarve, it's sunshine, cliffs and some of the best courses on the continent.
We design the tournament in one region, or combine both for groups with a week to spare. Either way, the welcome is warm, the seafood is excellent and the wine is very easy to like.
