We know that everyone’s needs are different so we can tailor make itineraries to provide the best solutions for your corporate golf weekend.
Penina
A golfers paradise in every sense of the word – a championship course combined with 5 star accommodation close to Alvor, a small fishing village in the Western Algarve and only 55 minutes from the airport.
The elegant hotel as three bars, five restaurants, outdoor pool, health club, snooker room and six tennis courts.
The course is one of the oldest in the Algarve and has hosted several Portuguese Opens. Tree lines fairways, tricky greens and well placed water hazards make it a true challenge for golfers of all catergories.
Sheraton Algarve Hotel and Pine Cliffs Course
This 5 star hotel which is only 35 minutes from the airport, stands on a clifftop surrounded by pine trees and overlooking miles of unspoilt beaches.
It has a bar, three restaurants, two outdoor swimming pools, large indoor pool with massage facilities, sauna, whirlpool and two floodlit tennis courts.
The course, as it’s name suggests, is played through a pine forest on the sand stone cliffs at Acoteias. It is a great 9 hole course, always in very good condition and gets brilliant reviews from all who play it.
The nineth hole is particularly breath-taking – a par 3 over a cliff to a green on the other side!
Vila Sol Algarve Spa and Golf Resort
Situated only 30 minutes from the airport, the 5 star accommodation is only a few steps from the clubhouse.
The facilities are exceptional with piano bar, two restaurants, beach club, outdoor pool, fitness club, sauna, steam bath, running track, tennis courts and full spa facilities including an indoor pool.
Vila Sol is now a 27 hole complex boasting one of the best courses on the Algarve. Holes 1-18 are the original championship course and arguably the finest golf challenge in the area. Holes 1 and 2 provide a tough start giving an insight into why this course was chosen for many pro events.
Andalucia Plaza near Puerto Banus
An ideal solution for those who want to combine great golf with the lively atmosphere of the famous Puerto Banus Marina.
Only 55 minutes from the airport, this 4 star hotel is built in typical Andalucian style with bar, restaurants, outdoor and indoor pools, spa and on site casino. The great nightlife of Puerto Banus is only 10 minutes away.
There are 4 courses close to the hotel so plenty to choose from depending on your requirements. The team can advise on the best courses for your group.

Block book tee-times – this is done as a matter of course so you know long before you go that everything has been reserved for your group.
Improve your Game – organize for a pro to travel with you to advise your group with tips on technique. Or arrange for some lessons in the resort with a local pro.
Golf Competitions – if you don’t want the hassle of organizing the golf arrangements yourself, then we can take care of everything – you just need to let us know who is playing and their handicap.
