Algarve Golf News May 2014

The weather for the last three weeks has only enhanced the great reputation of the Algarve as a perfect destination for golfers. In fact, some brief drops of rain may be something that most Algarvian Green keepers would now possibly welcome! As we move into the time of year when the light does not fade until around 20.00 hours, the less expensive 'Twilight' rates could be attractive to some golfers. - on some courses the rate for the hire of a buggy may also be reduced.
