Morgado Golf

NAU Morgado Golf & Country Club is a golf resort and hotel in the countryside between Portimão and the Serra de Monchique. It sits among the rolling barrocal landscape of the western Algarve, with the Monchique hills forming a backdrop to the fairways. It is aimed at golfers as well as couples, groups of friends and families who want a quieter base surrounded by nature.

Golf

The resort has two 18-hole courses. The Morgado Golf Course is a par 73 with wide fairways and open views, laid out to suit players of all abilities. The Álamos Golf Course is a par 71 set against the Serra de Monchique, described as challenging but balanced and also suitable for a range of levels. Tee times can be booked through the resort.

The Morgado do Reguengo Golf Academy has a training area and lessons with experienced instructors, who tailor sessions for everyone from beginners to advanced players. A pro shop stocks clubs, balls, gloves, apparel and accessories, and rental equipment is available for those who prefer not to travel with their own clubs.
