Portugal was distinguished as the “Best Golf Destination in the World”, and reaffirmed, for the second consecutive year, the award for “Best Golf Destination in Europe”.
In addition to these two important awards, there are also awards for the best new golf course in Europe and Portugal – Terras da Comporta – Dunas Golf Course, for the best golf course in Europe and Portugal – Quinta do Lago – South Course, for the best golf venue in Europe – Quinta do Lago (Portugal), that came to our country.
However, the distinctions did not end there, as the Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa was awarded the award for best golf hotel in Portugal, while the best inbound golf tour operator in Portugal is InGolf, and the best outbound golf tour operator in Portugal is Tee Times.
“Portugal’s success as a golf destination can be attributed to the provision of an integrated tourist experience, good air and land accessibility, an exceptional welcome, high quality sports and hotel infrastructures that cater to different profiles of golfers (whether professionals or amateurs) , and a great quality/price ratio”, highlights Turismo de Portugal on its official page.
Portugal currently has 89 golf courses spread across the seven tourism regions, with a particular focus on the Algarve, Lisbon and Porto and North regions.
