Sun, 1st Feb 2015 We can confirm that on some days this Spring leading central Algarve courses, particularly the Vilamoura area, are already heavily booked. Players in groups seeking the most agreeable tee times will find limited availability of tee-off times on several days on the main courses. Small groups of players are recommended to make their enquiries but the tee times may not be to their preference due to lack of availability. As from the month of May through to the end of September, the Pestana Group of courses which include the Alto, Gramacho, Pinta, Silves and the Vila Sol, have now introduced their '2 Players Buggy' Package at an discount rate which is obtainable through our Booking Department. |
