The history of golf in Portugal dates back to the ancient origins of such games as kolven introduced by the Dutch and the undeveloped sport called paganica once played by the Romans.
The first course on the Algarve was very small and basic with greens which were “browns†because they consisted mainly of sand.
The Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost province is rightly famous for its spectacular scenery along a fabulous coastline and has been attracting many golfers for almost three decades now. The main golf season is from late autumn to late spring. Winters are mild and golfers from north European countries enjoy the particularly warm and sunny days here and keep their swings smooth.
It was the legendary Henry Cotton who put the Algarve on the golf globe. In the mid-sixties, at Penina, he designed the first proper grass course.
The mainly dry Algarve countryside, familiar to summer visitors, gives way to luxuriant oasis at each of the golf complexes Holes made tricky by water hazards are, therefore, not an infrequent feature on the Algarve courses.
