PORTUGAL
Portugal is a golfer’s paradise. Not only because it
boasts more than 60 courses, but because the mild
climate makes it possible to play all year round.
Close to the sea and with excellent weather,
Portugal
attracts some of the most discerning golfers in the
world, who come to enjoy courses that vary in both
design and difficulty. That’s why Portugal regularly
hosts major tournaments on the international
circuit,
such as the World Cup Championship in 2005. Many of
the courses are designed by famous architects such
as
Henry Cotton, Rocky Roquemore and Arnold Palmer. And
all of them combine great natural beauty with
challenging course designs. Where else would you
find so many courses of such exceptional quality,
alongside an array of additional tourist attractions
such as the Algarve or the Lisbon Coast? And as if
that wasn’t enough, golf-lovers can also to take
advantage of the hospitality, the fine cuisine and
the
culture, to make their stay even more enjoyable.
"We’d been to Portugal in the 70’s on a family
vacation and always talked about going back with our
clubs.
Well, we did this past year and it was great. The
courses were tough, but fair, but the people we met
made
the trip truly special. We were also glad to know
about the golf handicap cards ahead of time too –
thanks
Merit for that information, it made things very
easy…"
