About Morgado Golf Course
Close to Portimao, Morgado Golf course is spread over an enormous 1000 hectare farming estate with fig trees, vineyards and cork. An open course with large undulating greens, it shares the features of a links course. Morgado is well liked by golfers on holiday on the Algarve.
Morgado Golf & Country Club features 98 very spacious rooms, 4 swimming pools, restaurant, bar and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.
Morgado spreads across a thousand hectare farm estate near Portimao, open and links-like with huge rolling greens and room to swing hard.
Serious golfersThe greens are the defence, enormous and full of movement, and the round tightens noticeably at the 10th and again at the 16th. Long approaches to the wrong tier mean three putts all day.
Higher handicapsOff the tee it is generous, with only a handful of water hazards to worry about. The ground rolls enough over the round that plenty of groups take a buggy in summer.
SocietiesWith 98 spacious rooms, four pools and the course on the doorstep, it is one of the simplest stay and play setups on the Algarve for a larger group.

Golf holidays in Portugal — answers to the questions our golfers ask most.
How much does a golf holiday in Portugal cost?
Golf holidays in Portugal start from £205 (≈ €235) (≈ $275) (≈ CA$385) (≈ AU$395) (≈ NZ$465) (≈ CHF 215) (≈ kr 2,665) (≈ kr 2,655) (≈ kr 1,795) pp with Golf Planet Holidays. That is a hand-built ground package, and the final price depends on your hotel, the courses you play and the season.
Which region of Portugal is best for golfers?
The Algarve is Portugal's most popular golf region and home to the highest concentration of top courses — Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura and Monte Rei are all within an hour of Faro Airport. The Lisbon Coast is growing rapidly in popularity with outstanding courses including Oitavos Dunes, Aroeira and Royal Obidos, plus easy access to Lisbon city. Madeira suits those wanting dramatic scenery and a quieter atmosphere. We'll help you choose based on your preferred courses, budget and travel dates.
Do I need a hire car in Portugal?
For most Algarve golf holidays, a hire car is optional rather than essential. Many resorts — particularly in Vilamoura and Vale do Lobo — have golf courses and facilities on-site or within walking distance. We include private transfers from Faro Airport to your hotel in all packages, and can arrange inter-course transfers as needed. That said, a hire car gives you the freedom to explore the Algarve's beaches, villages and restaurants at your own pace — we're happy to recommend the best approach for your group.
When is the best time to play golf in Portugal?
Spring and autumn, roughly March to May and September to November, are best, and the Algarve's mild winters make it a year-round escape.
How many golf courses are there in Portugal?
We feature 44 courses and 54 resorts across Portugal including Quinta do Vale and Ribagolfe. Your specialist matches the courses to your group's standard and budget.
Is there plenty for non-golfers to do in Portugal?
Portugal offers non-golfers a wonderful range of experiences. The Algarve has superb Atlantic beaches, historic Moorish towns like Tavira, excellent seafood restaurants and water sports. Lisbon — accessible from the Lisbon Coast courses — is one of Europe's most captivating cities, with world-class museums, vibrant food markets and stunning architecture. The Sintra palaces, Évora's Roman ruins and the Douro Valley wine region are all within reach. Portugal consistently ranks among Europe's favourite holiday destinations for very good reason.
