Solo Golf Holidays in Western Algarve

The Western Algarve is built for the solo golfer. Resort courses here run busy, sociable tee sheets, and we’ll arrange for you to join group tee times so you’re paired into a fourball of like-minded golfers rather than walking eighteen holes by yourself. Many of our customers arrive as strangers on the Monday and leave with a WhatsApp group and a standing arrangement to come back next year.

If you’d rather have the whole thing organised around company, our hosted and escorted group tours are ideal for solos. You join a ready-made group of fellow golfers, with someone on the ground looking after the schedule, the tee times and the table bookings — all you do is play your golf and enjoy the evenings. It’s the gentlest possible way to travel single without ever feeling like you’re on your own.

We base solo trips at hotels that are welcoming, well-located and easy to settle into on your own:

• Tivoli Carvoeiro, Carvoeiro — perched above the cliffs of one of the Algarve’s prettiest coastal towns, with walkable restaurants and bars a short stroll away — perfect for a relaxed solo evening.
• Vila Gale Ampalius, Vilamoura — in the heart of the Algarve’s golf and marina hub, with plenty going on the moment you step outside.
• Penina Hotel & Golf Resort, Portimao — a grand, classic golf resort with its own course on the doorstep, so you can play without going anywhere.

Tell us your style — lively and central or quiet and scenic — and we’ll match the hotel to you.

The Western Algarve packs world-class variety into a short drive, and we’ll build your golf around the courses that suit your game:

• Pestana Vale da Pinta and Pestana Alto in Portimao — mature, characterful layouts with the kind of olive-grove framing the region is famous for.
• The O’Connor Jnr and Faldo courses at Amendoeira — two contrasting championship designs on one estate, a genuine treat to play back to back.
• Salgados, Albufeira — a links-style course laced with water and lagoons, right by the coast.

Mix and match across the week — we’ll handle the bookings, the order of play and the transfers between them so your only decision is which club to pull.

Every Golf Planet Holidays trip is ATOL Protected, and your money is held in trust with the PTS scheme until you have travelled — so your hard-earned holiday is safeguarded from the moment you book. We price and bill in GBP, with no surprises.

Travelling from the US? It’s an easy add — the Algarve is well connected to North America, and we can arrange flights as an ATOL-protected option on top of your ground arrangements, so you get the same fully-organised trip with one specialist looking after every detail. Whether you fly in from London or from the States, you’ll be met, transferred and teed up.
