Golf in Lagos

LAGOS, The historic and attractive town of Lagos has always been a very popular destination for tourists to the Algarve. It was from Lagos harbour that Vasco da Gama sailed in 1499 on his historic and epic voyage of discovery. As a visitor drives into the town the Boat Marina harbour presents a lovely picture. Further in the strong battlements present a picture of the importance it has played in history. Amongst the ancient buildings is Europe's oldest standing slave market.

At night the crowds spill over into the many narrow streets creating a lively and happy atmosphere with a plentiful choice of bars and restaurants.

In the vicinity of Lagos are three excellent golf courses. The 27-hole Palmares Golf Course lies to the east overlooking the Bay of Lagos. The 18-hole Boavista Golf Course lies on the west and is within minutes drive from the town. Further to the north is the 18-hole Espiche Golf Course which is the newest addition to the golfing scene in the Algarve.

SAGRES, The small town of Sagres is located next to the most south-western point of Europe named Cape St. Vincent. The high vertical cliffs in Sagres are dramatic to view as they are pounded by the Atlantic Ocean. It was here in the 15th century that the famous Prince Henry the Navigator built his school devoted to navigation and exploration. The local restaurants are renowned for serving a variety of fresh fish and shellfish.

VILA DO BISPO, Since 1898 the town of Vila do Bispo was granted as the admistration town of the area. However, its existance is first recorded as a village in the 14th century but humans were occupiing the area back in the mist of time.

Approximately halfway on the road between the town of Lagos and Sagres is the small village of Budens. It is here that golfers will find the 18-hole Santo Antonio Golf Course.

Recent Lagos Course Reviews

Santo Antonio by Sue from United Kingdom
Fabulous Course
Fabulous course - challenging without driving you to the edge of sanity. Staff are friendly and it is a reasonable price - worth getting a buggy. Look forward to playing it again on our next visit.

Loved this course.
I have played many courses in the south of Spain and The Algarve and this one ranks as having the most beautiful setting amongst the Portuguese hills .
There are no developments surrounding the course nor busy roads so it is beautifully peaceful, enabling one to enjoy one’s golf, pure and simple.
The course is quite challenging and requires accuracy in both teeing off and approach shots.
The staff seem friendly and welcoming unlike some others.
The Clubhouse offers super views of the actual course and landscapes surrounding the course.
Price is fair and reasonable.
A real ‘gem’ of a course.
Santo Antonio by Tanya K. Kozicki De Mello from Brazil
Tough course
Extremely challenging course with lots of blind holes. Be prepared to walk a lot uphill and downhill even when on a buggy.
Palmares by Michael from Germany
Stunning views and one of our favorites!
Palmares by Cindy Ferguson from Portugal
Palmires golf course Lagos
We played Palmires on September 29. The course was in terrible condition. The tees and greens look like they had some kind of disease. The fairways were brown and hard to find a spot of grass to but your ball on. I would pass on this course
