The game of golf in Faro is no less than golf in any other part of Portugal. Some of the best golf courses of Algarve are situated just close by. San Lorenzo is located in the backdrop of Ria Formosa Natural Reserve, which makes it one the best layouts of Europe. You must remember the superb golf courses near Quinta do Lago along with the Royal Course with its 16th hole, which is iconic due to its position on the cliff. You can play golf at any of the course and you will return with an album full of beautiful memories.
For many tourists, Faro means just the place of airport, and they arrive here to start their holiday in Algarve. However, it is an injustice to the place since Faro is a nice base for a golf break in Portugal with the added benefit of lesser travelling time. You can place your foot at the beautiful Dona Filipa. Else, you can also the famous places at Formosa Park and the suites of Monte da Quinta. You can stay at any of these places to make your holiday worth remembering.
You must go through the following tips to make the most of your golf holiday in Faro.
It is not necessary to stay in the best hotels and blast your budget. If you are planning a golf break with modest budget, you must look for alternative options of accommodation such as shared apartments, vacation rentals, homestays, religious housing, academic housing, farmstays, home exchange, etc. These options prove a lot cheaper than you expect. Their cost would be just a fraction of what you plan to pay at a resort.
You must have planned to carry your golf clubs along with you. If not, please do it now. Renting the golf clubs at the golf clubs may prove very expensive for you. Also, do make it a point to carry extra tees and balls, more than you think you will need.
Some golf resorts in Faro make it necessary to arrive with a proper code of conduct along with strict rules for golf clothing. But, do not get overexcited for buying new clothes just for one vacation. You must have some golfer friends, who might love to lend you some clothes. It always happens with people that they buy clothes for one vacation and then dump it in some corner of their cupboards.
Wherever you stay, it is always better that you try the local restaurants outside your hotel. It will not only save you a lot of money, but also let you taste the ethnic food of the locality. And, you never know, you might also make some local friends who invite you come back and stay for free at their place next time!
