Golf: Carvoeiro and surrounding area has a wide range of Golf Courses including Gramacho which hosted the Portugese Ladies Open and is recognized as a championship course enjoyable and playable even by those with a higher handicap. Vale da Pinta the 8 times consecutive host of the European Seniors Tour Qualifying final, Vale de Pinta is rightly respected not just for its playability and challenging layout but for outstanding levels of beauty and enjoyment.

Silves is a serene spot at the foot of the Monchique mountain, but it is anything other than 'a walk in the park' - a drive at the opening hole has to flirt with water hazards on both flanks. Alto Golf Course located on the edge of the picturesque fishing village of Alvor, the rolling fairways and elevated greens test all and reward anyone who enjoys thinking about their game.

For those wanting to improve their technique and game Pestana offers tuition at the Golf Academy.
