About a 30 minute transfer from Lagos brings you to Silves Golf Course
Silves is a serene spot at the foot of the Monchique mountain, but it is anything other than ‘a walk in the park’ – a drive at the opening hole has to flirt with water hazards on both flanks.
This course is for players – low handicaps will find it a serious challenge to come in under par. But high handicaps (with concentration) will be able to enjoy their round.
Most holes offer spectacular mountain views overlooking palm trees and olive groves, the surrounding cork and citrus farms generate a true feeling of authentic Portuguese golf.
Pestana own 4 golf courses in the area in addition to Vila Sol in Vilamoura. The best rates are secured by staying at one of the Pestana hotels in Alvor – about a 20 minute transfer to Silves.
