A few tips before you go: check if the course you’re eyeing requires a handicap certificate (some top-tier ones do), and pack proper golf attire—yes, even on holiday, there’s a dress code.

Bottom line? Whether you’re chasing birdies or just the sunshine, a golf holiday in the Algarve is always a win. And with Tee Times handling the details, all you have to do is show up and swing.

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

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.
