Portugal Masters – Algarve

Okay, so Tiger Woods has clinched the Presidents Cup for the American team, but here’s another chance to have a go at a golf championship title! 

Swing along to Vilamoura in the Algarve where the Portugal Masters will be on from October 15-18th.  Oceânico Victoria Golf Course, a course designed by Arnold Palmer, is the venue and the total prize-money will be worth a whopping 3 million Euros.

This is the third time that the Masters is being staged in Portugal, which is now one of Europe’s best golfing destinations.

If you’re not quite at Masters’ standard yet, don’t worry there are over 35 golf courses in the Algarve region where you can quietly improve your handicap.  All the major resorts have their own courses and special golfing packages and golfing holidays.  We stayed at the Vila Sol Algarve which also has a golf academy.

Here is the list of Algarve Golf Courses.
