The stay at the Hotel Dona Filipa was wonderful!

The stay at the Hotel Dona Filipa was wonderful! They have made our room ready, when we arrived. So we can use it after the breakfast.

The staff was very kindly, housekeeping and service very good! And to eat at the restaurant in the evening, wonderful!

The clubhouse at San Lorenzo golf course they built it new. So all staff was provisionally. But they give us a lunchbox every day. To play this course was the pleasure.

The transfer from and to the Faro airport … perfect! Also the rental clubs!

One of the best golf holidays we have had!

Thank you for your kind letter and all support regarding our recent travel to Portugal!

Without any exaggeration I can confirm that it was one of the best golf holidays we have had so far. We have already travel to Portugal before, but it was the first time for golfing. I can confirm it was not the last!

The Pestana Alvor Beach Villas, although a bit worn out, are very spacious, exceptionally clean and well managed. The location is sensational, so close to the beach and the hotel with all facilities for a pleasant stay. My wife and I like to make our breakfast by ourselves so I cannot comment on the meals in the hotel, but I am convinced they are on the same high level. Needless to say, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful.

As for the golf courses, thank you for the excellent choice. All five courses that we played (Gramacho, Vila Sol, Alto, Silves and Pinta) are so diverse, well managed and in a beautiful environment. Although the weather report for the second half of the week was bad and rainy, we were able to play all rounds and really enjoyed them very much.

Es hat alles bestens geklappt

we had a pleasant stay in Cascais!

Thanks for asking we all went well and we had a pleasant stay in Cascais in Quinta da Marinha Golf Villas. Also the weather was a bit better than expected.
Our villa was cosy and clean, just perfect for our stay. Enough place also for golf equipment.
Breakfast in the hotel was great and we enjoyed the offering quite a lot.
From Quinta da Marinha golf course maybe a bit divided experience. Fairways and greens were in very good shape and well taken care of. Maybe some extra care should be pointed to enhance the paths before something happens to people moving around the course. Also benches would be nice, so that one could rest feets while waiting own turn to play.

The biggest thanks goes to all the personnel at the area - they were professional and helpful in all situations.

And special thanks to you for arranging this all for us. We´ll be back for sure.

I really enjoy my Golf in the Algarve

2026 Spring Amateur Golf Tournament

The Dona Filipa Hotel, from the very start at reception when checking in to checkout I have to say that the staff, room, food, bar area and all facilities were first class. The staff in all departments were extremely helpful and very accommodating at all times. The staff at San Lorenzo Golf were also excellent.

The San Lorenzo golf course…it is my favourite course in the Algarve ever since I played there some 18/20 years ago.
I realise that due to the fire the facilities are not up to standard that we expect in the Algarve. Hopefully we will see all building completed for next years tournament. I believe from talking to staff members the course is to receive attention particularly the buggy paths and general maintenance.

I really enjoy my Golf in the Algarve, but I would like to say that I would really like to see at least other course in Vale de Lobo or Quinta de Lago be added to the tournament rota. Playing same course 4/5 times in a week does not have the challenge that I enjoy most. It would be nice to play one of the other courses in the area.

Yes it was a great week, and I look forward to next years tournament!

We all really enjoyed the experience!

The Hotel Pestana Sintra was great. The rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast had plenty of options and was thankfully open until quite late compared to other hotels. The highlight was definitely the staff working at the hotel, they were fantastic, so friendly and welcoming.

The Quinta da Beloura golf course was in great condition. The layout was a bit strange (but in a good way) walking through housing estates and public streets.The staff at the course were brilliant, they allowed us to change our tee times and also came to collect the golf trolleys when it was getting late, allowing us to finish the course carrying our bags. We had food in the clubhouse after the 9th hole on both days, the barman in there was lovely and the food was good. Also, a massive thanks to Lisbon rental club company who agreed to collect the golf clubs at a later time when our tee time changed.

We all really enjoyed the experience and would like to return to Portugal for a golfing trip in future. Thanks to the Portugal Golf Experience team for helping.
Personally, it was my first time ever in Portugal and I was amazed how lovely the country is, how nice the people are, and how tasty the food is.

We all had a brilliant time as usual.

We all had a brilliant time as usual. Thanks very much for all your help in organising the accommodation at Pestana Dom João II and golf at Silves and Gramacho. It is a great hotel and the staff are brilliant. The courses were fabulous so thanks again

We truly had a wonderful time!

We truly had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our golf trip. Everything was very well organized and it was a pleasure to experience Portugal in such a relaxed way.

But what I would especially like to say is how much we appreciated your personal support. You were always incredibly kind, attentive and helpful.
Not only with the golf arrangements, but also with all the little things around our stay – like recommending restaurants and helping whenever a small question came up. That kind of care is very special and it made us feel very well looked after.

The Hotel Pestana Vila Sol is beautifully located and the atmosphere is very pleasant. The staff everywhere were friendly, polite and charming. Just one small remark about the dinner at the hotel: compared to the otherwise lovely standard of the hotel, we found the evening meals a bit modest. However, the restaurant staff were always extremely courteous and welcoming.

The golf courses (Vale do Lobo Royal, Vilamoura Millennium, Monte Rei, Vale do Lobo Ocean) were in very good condition and it was great fun playing them. We really enjoyed the experience.

All in all, it was a really lovely stay and we will remember the trip very fondly.

Es war phantastisch, ich war begeistert!

Mit Ihrer Unterstützung konnte ich einen traumhaften und unvergesslichen Urlaub genießen. Es war phantastisch, ich war begeistert!

Das Hotel Marriott Praia del Rey:
Zimmer wunderbar, Meerblick prima, Spa-Bereich ließ keine Wünsche offen! Der Service im Gastronomiebereich sucht seinesgleichen. Wunderbares, herzlich freundliches Personal, das jeden Wunsch von den Gedanken ablesen konnte. Absolut „Perfekt!“
Die Küchencrew einmalig. Jede Speise auf den Punkt gebracht – ob Omelett zum Frühstück und die herrlichen Fischgerichte am Abend. Housekeeping mit tadellosem Service, die Shuttlefahrer sehr umsichtig und zuvorkommend.
Ein besseres Gesamtpaket an exquisiter Lage, TOPP abgelieferte Leistungen und Personal mit unglaublicher Liebenswürdigkeit – besser geht es nicht!

West-Cliffs, Royal Óbidos und Praia dél Rey gespielt. In Anbetracht der monatelangen Regenfälle und Stürme in einem überwältigenden, hervorragendem 98% super Zustand. Schadhafte Stellen und noch teilweise stehendes Wasser waren kein Problem.
Die Plätze sind unglaublich schön, die Clubhäuser, Sanitäre Einrichtungen Servicepersonal – einfach toll!

Entscheidend war das von Ihrem Team zusammengestellte geniale Angebotspaket aus Hotel, Spielmöglichkeiten und Services. Danke, dass Sie immer Zeit für alle meine Fragen hatten und für mich ein sehr freudvoller, kompetenter und sehr sympathischer Ansprechpartner waren.

Overall the vacation was great.

Overall the vacation was great. We were very fortunate with the weather given how much rain and wind the Silver Coast received prior to our arrival.

The villa at Praia D'el Rey The Village we stayed in was nice. We didn’t use the pool because it was too cold. The only issue we had with the Villa was that the Wi-Fi didn’t work very well on the 2nd floor. Other than that, it was fine. The housekeeping was good.

The shuttles to and from the courses were timely and the drivers were very friendly.

West Cliffs and Praia del Rey were in amazing shape and were our favorite courses by far.
Royal Obidos was also good but it didn’t drain as well as West Cliffs or Praia. The customer service at Praia was amazing and they responded to all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner.

The restaurants at Praia, West Cliffs and Royal Obidos were also very good.
