Golf resort holidays, Portugal is a winner
Some of us middle aged men like a golf holiday with the lads, some with the family.
You’ll have heard of golf breaks in France and the US, and in Portugal, the Algarve (more on Quinta do Lago to come) but there are underrated resorts to look at in the Lisbon area. Herae are some we recommend, known for their excellent golf courses and value for money.

The resort provides luxurious accommodations, great dining options, and various other amenities like a spa and direct beach access. Golfers praise the challenging course and well-maintained greens.
