From April 14-16, the Wyndham Grand Algarve will organize the prestigious The Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament on the world-famous golf courses of Quinta do Lago.

This exclusive competition is a great way to allow young golf fans to get experience and exposure to the sport while also having a great time and meeting new friends.

A native from the Algarve and also a DP World Tour professional, the Portuguese golfer Ricardo Santos will be the event ambassador and will lead a golf clinic for all attendees.

“It’s great to be a part of this tournament and to help junior golf”, said Ricardo Santos.

Depending on the participant’s age, the Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament may use a variety of formats, such as stroke play for the U18 and U14 divisions or Stableford for the U10 division.

The rules of the game will dictate how the general and category awards are distributed, and both the gross and net score methods will be used.

According to reports, junior golf in Portugal has been on the rise in recent years, and several groups and initiatives have been established to foster its growth on a national and regional scale.

“Golf is a great sport for children for many reasons, it helps develop focus and resilience, it contributes to the development of social skills and it teaches you about integrity and honesty”, says Ricardo Santos.

Ricardo Santos aspires to encourage and support young golfers at The Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament and beyond through his ambassadorship and golf clinic.

Portugal Golf Holidays – The outstanding history of Hotel Palácio Estoril

Hotel Palácio Estoril. The incredible history of Palácio Estoril hotel

Palácio Estoril has a very rich past

The Hotel Palácio Estoril is a five-star hotel in the centre of Estoril, only 20 minutes from Lisbon‘s city centre, and features stunning gardens and breathtaking views of Estoril and Cascais Bay.

Since its opening in 1930, travellers from all over the globe have stayed at Hotel Palácio. It provides all the comforts of home in an atmosphere of timeless luxury, and its famous hospitality sets it apart.

The Hotel Palácio Estoril of today still has many features from the time it opened in the 1930s. The Hotel’s opulent classic décor has been updated over time without deviating from its original framework of timelessness, luxury, and sophistication, creating an exclusive ambience that is felt by all who enter.

During the Second World War and due to Portugal’s neutrality, some royal families fled to Estoril, known at the time as the “Kings Coast”. British and German spies met in the Hotel Palácio, where numerous members of the European royalty stayed.

In 1969, “On Her Majesty’s Service”, a classic James Bond film, was set at the Hotel.

Palácio Estoril was the second home of the Spanish, Italian, French, Bulgarian, and Romanian royal houses, and their descendants still visit the hotel. In February 2011, the Royal Gallery was created at the hotel, displaying photos of European nobles who have visited the place.

Today, Palácio Estoril continues to be a reference and has received many awards, like the Condé Nast Award 2023 for the best place for meetings and conferences, and the 2023 Merit Award from the Portuguese journal Expresso.

Enjoy your stay and let the hotel’s colourful and illustrious past inspire you.

Near the hotel, you’ll find excellent golf courses, like Oitavos Dunes, Quinta da Marinha and Golf Estoril.
