Sports holidays are ever popular with people in the UK, no more so than golf, which is a very popular sport to play in other countries where the climate might be better and there may be decent golf courses. The quality of the golf courses will depend on where you are in the world and countries like Portugal are renowned for the quality of the golf courses. This is well known all over the world, and it can help you to get in some good rounds of golf whilst on holiday.

Many people travel to places like Portugal as amateur golfers but it can be good for the more experienced pro too, who doesn’t want to play professionally whilst away but who wants to enjoy a relaxing game or two. There are many reasons why golf is considered to be a fun and relaxing sport, not least because of the beautiful settings you can find yourself in, therefore making golf a more popular pastime for people of all ages and standards.

Portugal is a good destination for some sun this summer. Despite all of the troubles with taking holidays abroad, Portugal is one of the better bets and there are still holidays available that can be booked for the summer months.

Why is Portugal a good holiday destination? It has something for everyone, children and adults alike. The weather, for one, is a good selling point and it is mild, and really rather warm during the summer. There is generally a very pleasant breeze though, making it comfortable for walking and exploring, and taking part in activities like golf and other sports. Equally, if you want to sunbathe, it will be hot enough for this – having a pool nearby will make it the ultimate relaxing holiday experience!

Portugal has holiday options for all budgets and can provide lots of options for families. Accommodation can be found for reasonable prices and will often be part of a golf resort or other holiday destination, with beautiful views.

Ever fancied a trip to the Algarve? Well if you have, I would highly recommend a visit to Lagos. Lagos is a beautiful town in southern Portugal which boasts arguably the best beaches in the region. The town is surrounded by the ancient city walls and a walk around them gives you some of the best views of the picturesque harbour. After a wander through the cobbled streets, soaking up the history of the architecture, a coffee or beer stop is essential. You really are spoilt for choice as the quaint cafes and bars offer a wide range of refreshments. At night the town becomes a vibrant place to visit whether you prefer a quiet dinner with your partner or a night of dancing with some newly made friends. There are plenty of reasonably priced taxis available at the end of your evening to take you back to your holiday accommodation.

Golfing is one of the most highly acclaimed games, and there are many reasons for this. Among these reasons is the fact that it is a relaxing game and hence the best when you are on holiday. Golf holidays have provided many players with an opportunity to enjoy their favourite game away from the hustle and bustle of life back at home.

Ideal Golf Holiday Destination
Weather is an important factor for someone looking for a golf holiday destination and the Algarve gold holidays will offer you the perfect weather. The place boasts of an Atlantic –influenced weather with an average of 300 sunny days. If you want to go back home with a tan, you should choose this as the best destination. You will also have an easy time accessing the destination because the infrastructure allows for smooth transportation of tourists.

For some people, going away at Christmas is something that they have never considered but more and more people are choosing this time of year to pack their suitcases and set off on holiday. Christmas for many people is about family spending time together opening presents, enjoying good food and celebrating but if you fancy trying something new, then a festive break could be just what you need. You do not have to go somewhere hot for Christmas, many December holidays are taken in countries that are cold and even that have snow on the ground, often making the experience feel even more festive. To go away just before or after Christmas may save you some money, but holidays that fall over the Christmas period may be little pricey. Why not go for a break a few weeks after Christmas, allowing you to enjoy that time at home whilst giving you something else to look forward to.
