Golf

Golf is huge in the Algarve, there are over 21 golf complexes and 31 separate courses.

Lessons are available from professionals on all courses and all are open to visitors.

Often a handicap certificate is required and there is an appropriate dress code on all courses. Soft spikes are obligatory.

Local courses to Luz are Boavista which is only a 5 minute drive from the villa and  Palmares to the east of Lagos. Many of the courses accept pre-booking from the U.K. and it is best to book tee off times at least 4 weeks in advance.
