Portugal Golf Holiday

The International Association of Golf Tour Operators named the Lisbon Coast as the 2007 'Golf Destination of the Year', ahead of the Algarve, Andalucia and the other established Continental golfing treasures. The Lisbon Coast is studded with a cluster of golfing jewels and perfect for a Portugal Golf Holiday. Bathed in sunshine for almost 275 days of the year and between 2 and 3 hours from most European cities, the Silver Coast offers an attractive alternative to the enlightened golfer. The area may not be as well known as the Algarve but a growing number of golfers seeking a supreme sporting challenge that won't break the bank, are enjoying the Silver Coast and Praia Del Rey before it gets on the portugal golf holiday tourist map.

The Praia Del Rey 18 hole par 72 championship links course was designed by American architect Cabell B. Robinson, listed as Portugal's best course in the 2002/2003 Peugeot Golf Guide and rated 13th Best Continental Europe golf course by Golf World magazine. The course is set in extensive grounds of pine forest and undulating dunes with spectacular views over the Atlantic. With nine holes wending through the pine trees and nine hugging the Atlantic cliffs, Praia D’El Rey is a demanding test where the premium is on accuracy. With Golden Eagle, Penha Longa and Oitavos about an hour away Praia D'El Rey is a great base for a portugal golf holiday.
