“If there is one portion of Europe which was made by the sea more than another, Portugal is that slice. Portugal was made by the Atlantic.”
Hilaire Belloc
8 Nights, 5 Rounds of Bucket List Golf, Unlimited Lifetime Memories!
It’s not challenging to enjoy Portugal when most days you’ll wake up to sunshine and little bites of heaven in the form of custard treats called, Pasteis de nata. Along the sun-drenched coastline, you’ll find genuinely hospitable people, proud and eager to show off their country and culture. Combined with over 90 golf courses, Portugal’s reputation as a one of the world’s leading golfing destinations continues to soar. And that’s not all ~ in 2022, Condé Nast announced Portugal won the title of ‘Best Country in the World 2022’ in the coveted Readers’ Choice Awards.
The Updated Itinerary now includes time in the capital, Lisbon, introducing the luxurious Dona Filipa Hotel and reconfiguring the original itinerary to include Comporta Dunas, recently crowned ‘World’s Best New Golf Course’ and ‘Europe’s Best New Golf Course’ at the World Golf Awards 2023.

Important Experience Information
What airports should I plan to fly in and out of?
Updated 7/2024: You’ll want to schedule your flight to arrive into Lisbon Airport (LIS) and depart from Faro Airport (FAO).
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your driver and journey about 15 mins to your hotel.
Please contact the Concierge Team if we can be of assistance with arranging alternative airport transportation or assist with booking flights.
What will the weather be like during our stay?
In the Fall, the weather in the region is generally mild, with temperatures in the low to mid- 70’s and expect cooler evenings with temperatures in the low 60’s with a chance of very short tropical showers overnight.
What currencies are used in Portugal?
The currency utilized in both Portugal is the Euro (EUR). The Euro is currently trading below the value of our dollar at 1.09 USD to 1.00 EUR.
Will I be able to get cash and use credit cards while in Portugal?
You will find that most major credit cards and debits cards are nearly universally accepted. The same is true of Travelers checks, which should be in Euro to avoid extra exchange rate charges. ATMs are available throughout the countries. It should be noted that American Express is not as widely accepted as Visa and MasterCard.
How much cash should I bring?
We recommend bringing minimal US dollars, i.e. $75-100, with you and then accessing the local ATM’s upon arriving in Lisbon. The ATM’s will dispense the local currency and your bank will automatically calculate the exchange rate. Your own bank will typically provide the most favorable exchange rate available to you.
How many meals are included?
A full breakfast will be served every morning. We have also included a Welcome to Lisbon Dinner at the resort on arrival day and a Farewell to Portugal Dinner on the day prior to departure.
The GG Concierge Team can assist with making any reservations and recommendations for the group for additional meals not included in the Experience.
What is the cancellation policy for this Experience?
All deposits and final payments are non-refundable. However, we highly recommend purchasing a travel insurance program through Travel Guard and we will be happy to provide a quote or you can browse below
What if I want to play additional and optional golf?
There are plenty of noteworthy courses around Portugal. If any Guest wants to play additional golf, even at the spur of the moment, your GG Concierge or Driver Concierge can arrange optional golf for you. Optional golf can be arranged well in advance of your departure as well. Please consult the GG Concierge Team for golf options.
Can I play 36 holes a day if I want to?
Absolutely! Please let a member of our Concierge Team know and we will be happy to set up additional tee times for you.
Can I arrange to ship my golf clubs to Portugal?
Yes! We partner with Ship Sticks, the leaders in golf club shipping, and can arrange for your golf clubs to be shipped directly to your first hotel to await your arrival and home following your Experience. This is a great option to help ease the hassle of traveling and better yet, to prevent the terrible misfortune of missing or the delayed arrival of your golf clubs due to the airlines.
Please contact the Garmany Golf Concierge Team at Experience@garmanygolf.com if we can be of any assistance to you.
