The southerly and westerly views from the rear terrace overlook 4 different fairways of this challenging golf course, which also offers some of the most reasonable green fees in the Algarve. We have a 2-seater private golf buggy which is available at a small additional charge, recommended when playing this course in this lovely climate. Relax by your private pool, and then enjoy the additional facilities of the beach club of Castro Marim Golf and Country Club situated on the soft golden sands of Cabeco beach, just one of the many unspoilt beaches in this area, just a short 10 minute drive from the villa.

This part of the Algarve enjoys 27 km of sandy beaches.
Monte Gordo, 10 minutes by car, has a 12.5 mile (20 km) stretch of shimmering sand, backed by pine forests and citrus orchards.
For water sports enthusiasts, the off-shore lagoons are perfect for sailing, water skiing and windsurfing, while the sea-water temperatures here are the highest in Portugal.
GolfThe villa overlooks the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fairway and greens of the 'Atlantic' course at Castro Marim.
An additional 9 holes have recently been opened (May 2008) to complement the existing 18 holes, making a wonderful addition to the course. The new nine holes are longer than both of the existing nine holes and have some great open views, especially from the 4th tee where you can see the entire new course, as well as the par-5 in front of you which features an enormous lake.
You can now choose which combination of the three nine holes to play - the existing 'Atlantic' and 'Guadiana' courses or the new 'Grouse' course, and Castro Marim offers some of the best value green fees (special rates on Wed. & Sat) in the whole of the Algarve.
The book describes the course as 'one of the most Easterly courses on the Algarve with good views towards nearby Spain'.
We have our own electric 2 seater buggy which can be hired at very reasonable cost, priced according to your stay, with a minimum of £20.00 for one day.
Plenty of interesting challenges, and hiring our private two seater golf buggy will make the golf even more enjoyable on the Castro Marim Golf course.
