With British golfers branching out and considering new destinations for their next golfing break, it’s worth noting that Portugal has plenty of unbelievable golf courses away from the Algarve. Lisbon has always been considered a fairly affluent destination with a focus on quality golf courses as opposed to a destination for boozy nights out.

Lisbon Golf Coast and Glencor Golf Holidays have once again partnered for another year to help promote Lisbon Golf Coast’s members as a possible destination for a golf holiday. Lisbon is a great destination for golf thanks to its rich quality of golf courses available. Just a quick two-hour flight from London, Lisbon is accessible to most UK golfers with year-round flight schedules from Airports around the country.

Glencor Golf Holidays is the tour operator of choice when it comes to booking your next golf holiday to the region. This is due to their extensive experience throughout the team when it comes to staying & playing at the destination.
