One of the things I’ve learned about Portugal as I research my
trip is what a golf mecca it is. I am not a golfer myself, but I follow some of the major players and tournaments from
time to time. It just never occured to me that Portugal’s southern coastline would be such a golfer’s paradise. But just look at the view off the course
pictured here! Makes me want to take up the sport, pronto. Seriously, I’m sure golfing won’t be in my budget while I’m
visiting next month, but some of you serious players might want to consider the shores of the Algarve for your next
golf vacation. The Prague Tribune article is just one of many
I’ve come across about the popularity of Portugal among golf enthusiasts. There are a slew of resources out there with
course listings and resort information to help you plan a trip. Here are two to get you started, one for the southern
Algarve region, and one for Estoril, just south of Lisbon.
