Tee Times Present at IAGTO European Convention: Connecting, Growing, Evolving

Posted on by

The IAGTO European Convention (IEC) is back. From May 19 to 21, the spotlight will shine on Gran Canaria, and the golf travel community will come together again. With more than 30 years delivering top-tier golf experiences in Portugal, Spain, and other destinations, Tee Times Golf Holidays is proud to be part of this essential industry event as an IAGTO member.

This year’s IEC will be held at ExpoMeloneras — a world-class venue in the heart of Gran Canaria’s hospitality district.

For us, the IEC is much more than just a business convention. It’s a place to reconnect with long-time friends, strengthen trusted partnerships, and explore fresh opportunities. Carlos Ferreira, Founder & CEO, said: “IEC isn’t just a schedule full of meetings — it’s a chance to reconnect with partners who’ve been part of our journey for years. In this industry, relationships matter, and meeting face-to-face helps keep that trust strong.”

From Algarve to the World

Over three decades, Tee Times has grown from a local expert in the Algarve into a leading DMC serving golfers across Europe and other destinations. Our secret? A deep love for the game, personalised attention, and a constant drive to innovate, offering the best golf package for unforgettable golf holidays.

“Being at IEC is essential for us,” Ferreira adds. “It’s about reinforcing what we’ve built and staying open to new opportunities as a DMC — finding fresh connections with suppliers and buyers who share our passion for golf and quality service.”

Jorge Diogo, our Director of Sales & Marketing, agrees: “There’s nothing quite like a real conversation. Events like this let you connect with long-time partners and discover new opportunities.” And he continues: “We’re excited to be part of the IAGTO European Convention because it’s the perfect stage to show what we do at Tee Times. Meeting new buyers and suppliers helps us stay ahead and improve the experience we offer golf travellers.”

We look forward to another memorable edition of the IAGTO European Convention and continuing our mission of bringing golfers closer to the best courses, cultures, and connections across Portugal, Spain and some of the best world golf destinations.

A Fresh Chapter for a Portuguese Gem: Big Changes at PGA Aroeira No. 2

Posted on by

There’s something special happening just south of Lisbon—and if you love golf, it’s definitely worth your attention. PGA Aroeira No. 2, one of Portugal’s most memorable woodland courses and a proud host of the Ladies European Tour, is about to get a major upgrade. Designed by the legendary Donald Steel and opened in 2000, this championship layout is loved for its flowing fairways, tricky lakes, and greens that keep even the steadiest hands on edge. And now, it’s getting even better with Details – Sports, Hospitality, and Leisure management.

A thoughtful renovation

From June through mid-September, PGA Aroeira No. 2 will temporarily close for a thoughtful renovation that promises to raise the playing experience to a whole new level. Expect revamped tees and bunkers, top-dressed fairways and greens, smarter drainage, smoother buggy paths, improved lakes, and upgraded landscaping. Even the practice area and irrigation systems are getting attention. The best part? A new set of on-course restrooms for added comfort during your round—because great golf deserves great amenities.

But don’t worry—PGA Aroeira No. 1 and the stylish clubhouse will remain open throughout the works, so golfers won’t miss a beat.

With exclusive access to Aroeira courses and a deep understanding of Portugal’s top golf destinations, our team can help you build the perfect Lisbon golf escape for unforgettable golf holidays.

Renovations like these don’t just improve a course—they show long-term commitment to quality, sustainability, and the golfer’s experience. And that’s exactly the kind of story we love to share at Tee Times.
