Portugal and Spain: the Best Choice to Play Golf during the Cooler Months

Posted on by

Tee Times offers exceptional packages tailored for golf during the cooler months, including access to top courses, accommodations, and personalised service. Playing golf during the cooler months in Portugal and Spain is a delightful experience. With milder temperatures than the rest of Europe, these destinations allow golfers to enjoy the game year-round. However, autumn and winter bring unique challenges, making it essential to dress appropriately and pack smartly for your trip.

Layering is the key to staying comfortable on the golf course golf during the cooler months. Start with a lightweight, moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat away from your body. Add a thermal mid-layer for warmth, such as a fleece or merino wool pullover. Finally, pack a windproof and waterproof jacket to protect against occasional rain or coastal breezes.

Prioritise Comfort and Flexibility
Golf requires unrestricted movement, so choose clothing made from stretchable fabrics. Opt for trousers or leggings paired with a comfortable polo or long-sleeve shirt. Many brands now offer insulated golf apparel that combines warmth with ease of movement.

Don’t Forget Accessories
Accessories can make a big difference. A beanie or thermal hat will keep you warm on chilly mornings, while gloves with a good grip protect your hands from the cold. Additionally, pack a scarf or neck gaiter for added protection against wind.

Footwear Matters
Wet grass and occasional rain mean that waterproof golf shoes are a must. Bring extra socks to ensure your feet stay dry and comfortable throughout the day.

Packing Tips
When preparing your suitcase, focus on versatile items that can be mixed and matched. Roll your clothes to save space, and include a small bag for dirty or wet items. Don’t forget sunscreen—autumn and winter sun in Portugal and Spain can still be strong.
