The four day event, which will be showcasing the abilities of some of the world’s top golfers, is being held between the 15th and 18th October at the Oceânico Victoria Golf Course in Vilamoura, Algarve.
Portugal is hosting the tournament for the third year running as part of the European Tour, helping to solidify the country’s position as a top golfing destination. Visitors from far and wide are once again being welcomed through the doors of local Algarve hotels for their chance to witness the event and perhaps even play on the tournament’s championship golf course, which was designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer.
The Algarve has long been known as an excellent choice for golf enthusiasts. Golfers of all abilities have been flocking to the region’s world class facilities for many years, with now over 30 courses to choose from.
Vilamoura itself is home to a number of courses, including the oldest and most famous in Portugal, the aptly named Old Course, designed by noted amateur champion and international golf course architect Frank Pennink. Alternatively, the Penina championship course is another popular choice, designed and played on by renowned British golfer Sir Henry Cotton.
The Algarve’s glittering shores currently have an additional attraction alongside the favourable climate, breathtaking scenery and of course top quality golfing facilities as great deals entice budget conscious holiday-makers. For those thinking about a last minute booking in the run up to this year’s Portugal Masters, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy excellent deals on Algarve hotels in and around the Vilamoura area. Or if you feel you need some time to brush up on your game, a spring golf break could be the answer with the excellent selection of cheap hotels on offer ensuring your stay is both comfortable and affordable.
