Tee Times Prestige Tournament: A Celebration of Golf

Posted on by

From November 21st to 23rd, the 7th Edition Tee Times Prestige Tournament took place in the golfing paradise of the Algarve, joining 60 players for three unforgettable days of fun, competition, and camaraderie. Organised by Tee Times Golf Agency, the event celebrated the very best of the game in Portugal, recently crowned (once again) the World’s Best Golf Destination at the 2024 World Golf Awards.

This year’s tournament took players to three of Portugal’s most iconic golf designs. The journey began at the stunning Laranjal Golf Course, where Hazel Brown secured the first-round win. Day two brought golfers to the breathtaking Monte Rei North Course, where Paul Longman emerged victorious. Finally, the event concluded at the prestigious Quinta do Lago North, with Pops Larkin taking top honours in the final round.

At the end of the three days (Stableford format), Stephen Sheppard claimed the title of overall champion, with Hazel Browne in second place and Paul Meehan in third. Special recognition went to Axel Bleymann for the best gross score (244 strokes), highlighting his remarkable consistency throughout the tournament.

Prestige Tournament: more than golf

But the Tee Times Prestige Tournament was about more than just great golf. It was a gathering of the joy and fellowship that the game brings. From the Welcome Reception to the Prize Giving Dinner at Chez Carlos Restaurant, the event was filled with moments to remember—whether sharing stories of triumphs on the greens or enjoying delicious tapas and drinks with fellow golfers.

Stephen Sheppard’s remarkable achievement was celebrated in style during the Prize Giving Dinner, where he received his awards from Jorge Diogo, Director of Sales & Marketing at Tee Times Golf Agency, Telma Santos, our Reservations Manager, and Ruben Martins, Director of 18Store Golf Rentals, one of the tournament’s sponsors. Their speeches emphasised the event’s importance and highlighted the collaborative spirit that made it a hit.

Tee Times Prestige Tournament Kicks Off at Laranjal: A Showcase of Algarve’s Finest Golf

Posted on by

The 7th Edition Tee Times Prestige Tournament is set to deliver an exceptional golfing experience in the Algarve from November 21st to 23rd. Bringing together 60 avid golfers, this fully booked event promises three days of thrilling competition, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments. The journey begins at the breathtaking Laranjal Course, setting the tone for an incredible tournament.

Nestled in Quinta do Lago’s serene Ludo Valley, Laranjal opened in 2009 and quickly garnered recognition, winning Best Golf Course at the 2011 Portuguese Travel Awards. Formerly an orange grove, the course seamlessly blends natural beauty with a challenging layout, offering a unique experience for players of all levels.

This par-72 championship course spans 6,480 meters of expertly designed terrain. It features rolling fairways, five serene lakes, and a lush mix of umbrella pines, cork oaks, and orange trees. Its layout, comprising five par-5s, eight par-4s, and five par-3s, ensures a diverse and engaging round.

Among Laranjal‘s standout holes is the picturesque 9th, a par-5 where water hazards demand precise shots. Equally impressive is the 7th hole, a formidable par-3 stretching 236 meters, one of the longest in Portugal. The course’s Bermuda fairways and Penn A4 greens provide impeccable playability, ensuring smooth rounds regardless of the season.

Laranjal’s design is inclusive, with thoughtfully positioned tees that cater to golfers of all abilities. Ladies, in particular, will appreciate the shorter distances, making the course fair and enjoyable. Beyond the competitive aspect, players can immerse themselves in the course’s natural splendour and even pick fresh oranges as they play—a delightful nod to its heritage.

Following the opening round at Laranjal, the tournament moves to Monte Rei North and Quinta do Lago North, completing an extraordinary three-course circuit. More information on the 7th Edition Tee Times Prestige Tournament can be found here.
