Western Algarve

Organising a golf society trip is a thankless job — until you hand it to someone who does it for a living. The Algarve is the perfect society destination: a dozen championship courses within 40 minutes of Faro, group-friendly resorts, and prices that keep every member happy. Here is how a society trip comes together, and where to play.

Why the Algarve works for societies

Short flights, reliable weather, courses that suit every handicap, and resorts used to handling larger groups — from the tee-time logistics to the long dinners afterwards. One specialist organises the lot, so the society captain can actually enjoy the trip.

The courses your society will want

Vale do Lobo (Royal & Ocean), the three Vilamoura layouts, and Sir Henry Cotton’s championship course at Penina give a society a varied, memorable week without anyone feeling out of their depth.
