Golf
For golf nuts this is the place for you! The local course at Benamor (5500 metres par 71) is perfect for holiday golf. With much cheaper green fees than anywhere you'll find in the west and a beautiful restaurant too. It has views out to the sea and of the nearby hills. Quinta da Cima (6256 metres par 72) and Quinta da Ria (6110m par 72) (5 mins drive) are beautifully manicured championship courses with stunning scenery and top class practice facilities. A little further afield (20 mins) is Castro Marim (5466m par 72) with its castle for a clubhouse! New on the scene 15 mins away are the 2 spectacular Jack Nicklaus signature courses at Monte Rei - the courses and the service are an experience not to be missed. Opening Spring 2008 is another new course, designed by Seve Ballesteros, located near to the Spanish border by the river. The Algarve has 18 other courses.
