In Lagos golf is flourishing. With its fabulous all-year-round climate it makes an ideal place to spend time unwinding and playing on what are unquestionably some of the most beautiful courses in Europe. Many are set overlooking the Atlantic Ocean for the Lynx course effect and there are some very challenging courses amongst the Monchique hills. There are over 14 courses along the coastline but within a 15-minute drive from the apartment there are 3 magnificent courses for you to pit your talents against. These are Boavista, Parque Da Floresta and Palmares. There are booking facilities at the Vilabranca complex and discounted green fees are available although you can book on-line at the web sites below. For the more adventurous, other courses within easy driving access are Vale Do Lobo, Quinta Do Logo, Vilamoura, and Colina Verde. More courses are continuously being developed. Please check to see if current handicaps are required and dress code applies. |
