Why golf in the west
The western Algarve has the region's best value: the Pestana courses around Portimão and Carvoeiro, Penina (the Algarve's first course), and the sea-view layouts of Palmares and Boavista near Lagos. Lagos and Alvor make lively bases with restaurants and bars, which suits groups.
Our suggested three rounds
Palmares for the views, Penina for the history, and Morgado or Espiche for value.
