Great deals on two cracking courses at Amendoeira

Published: Last updated:

With winter starting to take a grip of the UK, playing golf with the sun in the sky and a short-sleeved polo shirt on your back feels very far away.

If your mind is wandering to a winter getaway to play some proper golf on stunning courses that are in great nick then you need look no further than Portugal. The Algarve is bursting with great tracks, but top of your wishlist should be the Faldo and O’Connor Jnr courses at the Amendoeira Resort.

TG was lucky enough to sample their delights in 30 degree weather conditions in mid-October and with the unusually warm autumn and winter weather set to continue on the Iberian Peninsula, there’s never been a better time to visit.

The two courses opened in 2008 and have matured fantastically over the last three years. Both courses have multiple tees so they can be comfortably played by golfers of all standards.

The fairways are wide, but there is plenty of trouble to be found if you miss them, and the quick greens provide a real test, especially when adjusting from slow winter greens at home in the UK.

The back nine of the Faldo Course, in particular, offers stunning views of the whole resort and the surrounding Portuguese countryside. Plus, you can be sure you’ll be treated like a celebrity for your entire visit.

Here is a selection of the great deals currently available at the Amendoeira Resort:

All packages include accommodation in an apartment, complimentary buggy and club hire and 50% discount off golf shoe rental and free use of the sports facilities (tennis, 5-a-side football, beach volleyball and gymnasium).

Five nights for the price of four, plus four rounds of golf: from £380.
