Golfing in the Azores: A Hidden Paradise to Discover

Posted on by

Ever dreamed of playing golf in a setting where lush landscapes, ocean views, and volcanic wonders surround you? Welcome to the Azores, an archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic that offers an unforgettable golf experience combined with breathtaking nature. Whether you’re teeing off under the mild winter sun or enjoying a summer round with a cool ocean breeze, golfing in the Azores is always in season!

 

BATALHA GOLF COURSE

The Azores boast three remarkable golf courses, each with unique charm. The most famous is Batalha Golf Course, located on São Miguel Island. Designed by Cameron Powell, this 27-hole course stretches over 120 hectares of rolling terrain, offering spectacular views of the ocean to the north and majestic mountains to the south. The fairways are generous, the greens flow beautifully, and the strategic bunkers make every round challenging and enjoyable. And when you’re done playing, the stunning clubhouse is the perfect place to relax with a drink while soaking in the scenery.

 

FURNAS GOLF COURSE 

Also on São Miguel is the historic Furnas Golf Course, the oldest in the Azores. Nestled in Vale das Furnas, a region famous for its geothermal activity, the course is surrounded by towering Japanese cedars and offers a truly immersive natural experience. Designed with a classic Scottish feel, its undulating fairways and tricky greens demand precision and strategy. After your game, don’t miss a visit to the nearby hot springs or the stunning Lagoa das Furnas for a complete island experience.

 

ILHA TERCEIRA GOLF COURSE

On Terceira Island, Ilha Terceira Golf Course stands out with its beautifully crafted fairways lined with cryptomeria trees. This par-72 course features one of the most demanding holes in Portugal—the 18th, a challenging par 3 with a lagoon-protected green. It’s a true test for any golfer looking to finish their round with a memorable shot.

Alamos Golf Course: Our Experience Playing at this Hidden Gem in the Algarve

Posted on by

Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of NAU Morgado Golf & Country Club, Alamos Golf Course offers a perfect blend of challenge and serenity. With stunning views of the Monchique mountains, tranquil lakes, and lush farmland, this par-71, 18-hole course demands precision and skill. The relatively short layout is tricky, as its undulating greens and clever design make every hole a strategic test. The course’s technical demands and picturesque setting will captivate golfers of all levels.

This week, Carlos Ferreira, CEO and founder of Tee Times Golf Agency, played at Alamos Golf Course and shared his thoughts on the experience.

“I played at Alamos and was genuinely impressed by the care and dedication the management has shown in maintaining the course. Their attention to detail has elevated the golfing experience to a level comparable to some of the top courses in the Algarve, creating a truly remarkable and memorable round of golf. Despite being relatively short from the amateur tees, Alamos is anything but easy. It features some of the trickiest greens in Portugal, where finding a straight line is a rare luxury. And if the greens are rolling at 10 on the Stimpmeter, you better be ready for some three-putts! The challenge certainly keeps you engaged throughout the round.”
