With a fine selection of golf courses in the area, for golfers attending the festival it could be an opportunity to play at least one game of golf during their holiday in Portugal.

Golf Tee Times Portugal - Palmares Golf Course

Golf Tee Times Portugal – Palmares Golf Course

Golf in Portugal: Palmares Golf Course is a spectacular golf course, redesigned by Robert Trent Jones Jr., with views to die for, over the bay of Meia Praia near Lagos, Algarve!

A player will find a mixture of Parkland and Links all designed to require greater skill to any class of player. The greens are large and very sloping and players have to face a few blind shots to them . Some people consider the course to be designed for buggies, not for golfers who like to walk the course and appreciate it.

This was another wonderful day of golf at this course, among friends and great camaraderie with Carlos Ferreira, David Bowles, Michael and Jack Hague.
