Golf season: On game with style!

The Algarve is widely known for its paradisiacal beaches and breathtaking landscapes, delighting lovers of sun, beach and sea during the summer. However, the Algarve offers much more than just a beach destination. With 300 days of sunshine a year, it is one of the best golfing destinations in Europe, not only because of the mild climate that favours this sport all year round, but also because it offers more than 30 world-class golf courses, all with stunning landscapes as a backdrop. This is undoubtedly a paradise for golfers who appreciate nature.
If you're planning your golfing holiday in the Algarve, Designer Outlet Algarve is a must. In addition to its convenient location, the centre offers a perfect combination of style, comfort and practicality, providing a complete experience for those who wish to combine fashion and sport during their stay.

Golf: A year-round sport!

In the Algarve, golf is an activity that can be practised all year round. However, autumn and spring are the most recommended times, thanks to the mild temperatures, which average around 23 degrees, and the low probability of rain. October is the beginning of the high golf season, which lasts until May.

Due to the popularity of the sport, especially on the most renowned courses, it is advisable to book in advance. If it's your first visit to the Algarve, take the opportunity to combine golf with leisure time, exploring the rich gastronomy, local culture and picturesque Algarve villages. In our tourism blog, you'll find suggestions and tips for exploring this enchanting region.
