Portugal Masters in Vilamoura

The European Tour announced the postponement of the Portugal Masters in Vilamoura due to continued travel difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The golf tournament, which was scheduled to take place from April 29th to May 2nd at the Victoria Golf Course in Vilamoura, will be replaced by the Tenerife Open held at Costa Adeje Golf Course in Tenerife.

It is a disappointment that the current challenges with international travel have led to the postponement of the Portugal Masters at Victoria Golf Course. Everyone associated with the tournament, both in Portugal and on the European Tour, worked very hard to organize the event, which has been an important part of the schedule since 2007. Unfortunately, it was simply not possible to organize the event next month as well.
It will be rescheduled sometime later this year.

Tee Times Golf Agency is looking forward to new dates for the Portugal Masters in Vilamoura and will be delighted to offer all its services, since accommodation in the best hotels, such as Tivoli Marina Vilamoura*****, Crown Plaza*****, Vila Galé Ampalius****, Vila Galé Marina****, Dom Pedro Vilamoura & Marina****, among others equally welcoming, as well as the golf rounds at the other Vilamoura golf courses, such as Pinhal Golf Course, Millennium Golf Course and The Old Course, as well as transfers for all displacements, not forgetting the specialized suggestions for the best restaurants and nightlife in Vilamoura.

A few hundred golfers and golf courses members, in the centre and in the Algarve, will return to their golf courses with great enthusiasm.

In these 71 days of mandatory closure and although the golf courses are not open to the practice of golf, the daily maintenance works continues, with the essentially and with less staff.

Keeping the essential works between Monday to Friday at the level of cutting the grass, only with the loss of small details, such as the manicure around the fairways, which will be returned now taking into account that there is already a date of reopening.
Although until now, if necessary, the golf course was always ready for play, at the level of tees, fairways and greens.

The Castro Marim Golf Course, now flanked by the flowering hills of white and yellow (the native vegetation) is prepared for reopening and in excellent maintenance conditions.

In keeping with the reopening date, the Castro Marim Golf Course has already booked some tournaments for April and May.

Tee Times Golf Agency is more than happy to suggest Castro Marim golf course with its breathtaking mountain, river and sea views and where special offers, such as; 1 Free in 8 plus reduced rates for groups from 8 & 12, 18 holes round with or without a buggy and twilight special rate can make the difference.

For a true connection with the pure Algarvian nature, a stay at Villa Houses Castro Marim Golf & Country Club is mandatory, with golf packages available for 3 nights accommodation & 2 rounds, 7 nights accommodation & 4 rounds or a long stay of 28 nights accommodation & unlimited golf, or others as per each golfer or group desires.
