Courses across the Algarve, Lisbon Coast, and even up north around Porto are still in great condition, but they\u2019re far quieter than in peak summer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Algarve is the obvious choice, with championship courses like Monte Rei, Vale do Lobo, and Quinta do Lago offering world-class greens and proper autumn sun. If you\u2019re based around Lisbon, try Oitavos Dunes or West Cliffs. Both courses are coastal and easier to book at short notice this time of year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s more on the best courses and where to stay in our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/golf-holidays-portugal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">golf holidays in Portugal guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a92a42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2a92a42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/golf-portugal.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-314\" alt=\"golf-portugal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/golf-portugal.jpg 1255w, https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/golf-portugal-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06c9edb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"06c9edb\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a740ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a740ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">North vs South: Regional Differences\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54bc627 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54bc627\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up north (Porto, Braga, Douro Valley), it\u2019s cooler and wetter.
