Golf Society Trips to the Algarve

Tailor-made society breaks start from around £239 per person, including hotel, green fees and transfers — with group discounts for larger parties. What group sizes do you […]
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.

Golf Planet Holidays is an excellent company for golfing holidays, they are friendly, very helpful and tremendously efficient. Just back from a very enjoyable time in Tavira, Portugal.
A big thank you again Simon for organising our latest trip, this time to Quinta Do Lago. Your recommendation to include Ombria was well worth it ,you might need a few spare balls but it is a great course in the making and worth a visit.…
Had an amazing week in Tavira at Maria Nova Hotel as suggested by Simon. Played 3 great courses and 1 absolutely amazing course – Monte Rei. Would highly recommend Golf Planet to arrange your trip. Transfers were good too.
