Reserva da Luz, an exquisite development of deluxe villas nestling on the Algarve in Portugal, is the perfect choice for golf lovers, offering you the chance to own a beautiful property ideally located for four top golf courses.

Within 15 minutes of your stunning Reserva da Luz villa, you can be on the greens of Parque da Floresta, Boavista, Palmares or Penina. Which is why Reserva da Luz offers golf enthusiasts exclusive villas in an unparalleled location, both for its situation on the magnificent Algarve coast, and for its proximity to an unrivalled golf experience.

The Algarve is without doubt the most popular destination in Europe for golfers, partly because of the abundance of courses in a small area – upwards of 20 full courses – and partly because they offer something for golfers of all abilities.

Of course, the climate has a part to play in the Algarve’s attraction – an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, more than California! If golf is your game, the Algarve is the place, for it truly is a year-round sport.

This stunning region in the far south-west of Portugal, where courses routinely offer magnificent views over the rugged Atlantic coast, sets out before the golfer an excellent diversity of courses, to intrigue and challenge.

Perhaps the most famous course is the Penina, the championship course designed by Sir Henry Cotton, the triple British Open champion who became a golf architect. Sir Henry is credited with recognising the great potential for golf in the Algarve. After the Penina opened in 1966, the golf boom of the sixties and seventies began, when courses appeared with extraordinary speed across the region.

And today, European golfers still rush to the Algarve, eager to test their skills on the wide greens of Penina, to challenge the Par 71 reputation of Palmares, designed by the prolific Frank Pennink, and to marvel at Spanish golf architect Pepe Gancedo’s Parque da Floresta, a course which was built to work in harmony with the existing terrain.

Golf is lively in the Algarve – during the year there are several local tournaments and residents join international visitors in relishing the challenges posed by the stunning range of courses. Golf “passports” offer reduced green fees at many venues.

Access to the unrivalled golf experience of the Algarve is fast. Faro airport is only a couple of hours from most European capitals, and the new Via do Infante motorway, which follows the coast from the Spanish border to Lagos, makes travelling easy.
