So far, summer 2018 has been hot, sunny and full of great golf moments. There are a couple of summer days left and we want to review the top moments of our summer special. We’ll start with the fantastic golf clubs on the Portuguese side of the Iberian Peninsula.
Bem-vindos a Portugal!
Portugal is a country of superlatives. It is the westernmost nation on Europe’s mainland and its borders have barely changed since it was founded in 1139. This makes it the country with the oldest borders on the European continent. Portugal has the oldest bookstore in the world and the longest bridge in Europe, too.
Aside from geographical and cultural records, there are more extraordinary facts when it comes to golf: Portugal has been named “World’s Best Golf Destination” four times in a row. The award was presented at the World Golf Awards in 2017 and chances are high for the country to be awarded again in 2018. Our Portuguese partner golf clubs are just as excellent as the country’s reputation as golf nation.
The golf courses in the Lisbon metropolitan area are among the best courses throughout Portugal. One of them is Penha Longa Golf Club. Its Atlantic Championship Course has hosted the Portuguese Open several times. Bring your golf partner to the club and get a 2for1 discount at Penha Longa Golf Club with Golf Fee Card® International.
Oitavos Dunes is just as popular and has also hosted several big tournaments. It is among the Top 100 golf courses worldwide. Its hotel, The Oitavos, stands out with its modern architecture which is characterized by glass components and soft shades of blue.
CampoReal Lisboa is located between idyllic valleys, hills, and vineyards in the former hunting area of portuguese kings. It is also one of the 100 best golf courses and has recently been named best golf resort in Portugal by Brand Magazine.
The Algarve is known as hot spot for golf in Portugal. Penina Hotel & Golf Resort was designed by Sir Henry Cotton and is the oldest club in the country’s southern region. As a special offer, they grant a 30% discount on green fees to customers of Golf Fee Card® International. In addition, the hotel offers many activities for sports enthusiasts, families and kids.
