Nestled in the natural beauty of the Algarve’s Barrocal region, Morgado Golf Course is one of the premier golfing destinations offered by Tee Times Golf Agency for the best Portugal golf holidays. This 18-hole, par 73 course, meticulously designed by European Golf Design and inaugurated in 2003, provides a unique golfing challenge that appeals to players of all levels. Managed by Director Jorge Papa and Professional John Seymour, the course is renowned for its wide fairways and flat bunkers, inspired by Scotland’s famous links courses.

Morgado Golf Course charm

As you play your first round at Morgado, you’ll be surrounded by the aromatic citrus and olive groves that add to the course’s charm. The front nine holes offer a relatively flatter terrain, while the back nine present a more undulating landscape with impressive views of the Monchique mountains, creating a dynamic and engaging golfing experience.

Morgado Golf Course is not just about the game; it’s about the complete golfing experience. The club has two practice tees, two chipping greens, and two putting greens, making it perfect for golfers looking to refine their skills. The on-site golf academy, recognised as one of the best in Portugal, boasts top-tier instructors who have coached players to compete at international levels. The academy also features a school for young golfers, fostering the next generation of talent.

The course was also the home of the Portuguese Open Championship, part of the European Tour. Designed to test your stamina, buggies are available for added comfort, especially during warmer weather. The strategically developed fairways encourage golfers to build a good result on the front nine and prepare for a more challenging back nine, mainly due to the valley’s funnel-like wind conditions.

The 18th is a superb finishing hole, offering an elevated tee with a stunning view of the wavy fairway, bunkers, and the Clubhouse in the distance. This true signature hole promises a thrilling end to your round. Whether by par or birdie, Morgado Golf Course guarantees you’ll want to return for another round, appreciating the natural beauty and the exceptional golfing challenge it presents.

On-site, the NAU Morgado Golf & Country Club enhances the experience further with its luxurious amenities.

Álamos Golf Course. Morgado and Álamos collect donations to charity

Álamos and Morgado are making an effort to help the community

Through June 30th, the Portimão golf courses Morgado and Álamos will be collecting food and clothes for those in need as part of a series of solidarity initiatives designed to benefit the local community.

“The Morgado and Álamos golf courses are carrying out a campaign to collect food in solidarity with the Social Canteen of the Paróquia da Nossa Senhora do Amparo de Portimão”, the NAU Hotels & Resort Group said in a statement.

From Monday to Friday, the community center’s dining hall serves roughly 80 meals to those in need, with a second dinner served each night. The organisation also gives out weekend baskets filled with necessities.

Food is being collected for the food reinforcement given daily and for the baskets, an initiative led by the Morgado and Alamos golf courses.

You may help by donating food items like milk, sausages, biscuits, bread, and more. At the same time, used clothing in good condition is being collected for the benefit of Cáritas Paroquial da Nossa Senhora do Amparo.

This institution provides support to several families in the area and is faced with a shortage of clothing, especially for men.

Donations are collected at the reception of golf courses, delivered weekly to beneficiary institutions, and distributed by these to needy families in the region.

On December 9th, the Portimão Firemen’s Charity Tournament, already in its fourth year, will be conducted as part of this programme. Typically, 100 people, both members and local players from the Algarve, take part in this tournament.

All funds raised from registrations and the prize auction will revert to the Firefighters. As in previous tournaments, the amount achieved will be used to enhance the fire brigade’s areas of intervention.
