The Algarve’s golf resorts are some of the best in the world, it has been claimed.
Professional Golfers Association website Golf International said the Portuguese region “has an enviable selection of some of the world’s premiere golf resorts that have raised the bar and are setting new standards”.
The portal listed the Quinta do Lago development as the main trend-setter in the region, with other sites such as Vila Sol, Vale do Lobo, Penina and Vilamoura being described as “each a first-rate resort”.
Such quality may help those investing in property in the region enjoy good rental income as people come to play the sport on its many courses.
Last month, developer Unique Living said the Portugal is the best place in the world to own golf property, describing the Algarve as a “natural home” for the golfing fraternity.
It noted that Portugal is among six countries bidding to host the 2018 Ryder Cup.
