The Course
Palmares golf course
Palmares sits above the Alvor estuary on the west Algarve, with several holes running along the water and genuine sea views from the higher ground. It’s a layout that rewards accuracy over length — tight in places, with the Atlantic wind a real factor most afternoons.
We pair Palmares with a west-Algarve base for groups who want a change of scenery from Vilamoura, or add it as a day-trip round mid-week for golfers who want variety in their week.
Highlights
- Estuary and Atlantic coastal views
- Rewards accuracy over power
- Wind is a real factor — best played early tee times
- Popular as a mid-week change-of-scenery round
Where You'll Stay
Palmares Beach House Hotel
