Benamor Golf - The Eastern Algarve's Hidden Gem

If you are planning a golf break to Portugal, then for most, the first thought will likely be to visit the popular destinations of either Vilamoura, central Algarve or Lisbon. But Portugal offers more.

In the heart of Portugal’s Eastern Algarve, Benamor Golf in Tavira offers something that will appeal to many travelling golfers - green fairways, ocean breezes, authentic culture, and the unforgettable Algarvian food. 

Located just 45 minutes from Faro Airport, Benamor Golf is wonderfully accessible yet feels worlds away from the hustle of everyday life. Located close to the historic town of Tavira and the unspoiled beaches of the Eastern Algarve, it’s the ideal base for a golfing holiday that combines culture, relaxation, and outdoor adventure.

Golf Framed by Nature

Benamor Golf holds a special place in Algarve golfing history as the first course to open in the Eastern Algarve. Designed by the legendary Sir Henry Cotton, the course was carefully integrated into its surroundings, with Cotton choosing the old church at the heart of the estate to become the characterful clubhouse - a focal point that now sits proudly in the middle of the complex.

The 18-hole, par-71 layout stretches to just over 6,000 yards. While not particularly long, it has a natural rhythm that keeps golfers engaged from the first tee to the last green. Both sets of nine begin and end within sight of the clubhouse, making for a wonderfully balanced design that gradually increases in challenge as you progress.

What truly sets Benamor apart is its setting. To the north, the rolling Barrocal mountains form a dramatic backdrop, while to the south, the shimmering Atlantic Ocean provides a constant reminder of the region’s coastal beauty. The fairways are lined with olive, carob, fig, and cork trees, creating not just a golfing experience but a serene walk through the authentic landscapes of the Algarve. 

This is golf at its most tranquil, a chance to enjoy the sport in harmony with nature.
