Great Value, Great Golf — Your Way

Whether you're after a quick golf escape or a longer, laid-back stay in the Algarve, the villas at Castro Marim offer unbeatable value in a peaceful setting. The golf course is just 800 meters away, an easy drive or a short uphill walk if you're feeling active — and some of the region’s best sights are within a short drive. It's an ideal base for couples, friends, or groups who want to mix golf with exploration, all at a relaxed, flexible pace.

With its 27-hole layout, Castro Marim Golf is a relaxed and rewarding place to play, ideal for golfers of all levels. The course offers variety across its three 9-hole loops, and during summer, players can enjoy drinks and downtime at a seasonal second clubhouse with a poolside setting. Just minutes from the Spanish border, the location also makes it easy to explore some of the Algarve’s best nearby courses, including Monte Rei (Jack Nicklaus), Quinta do Vale (Seve Ballesteros), and Quinta da Ria and Cima (Rocky Roquemore). And wherever you play, you’ll find the local hospitality truly stands out, with friendly, welcoming service noted by guests time and again.

Good To Know

Getting There:

Castro Marim Golf & Country Club is around 50 minutes from Faro Airport by car. A hire car is highly recommended for exploring the region and reaching other golf courses with ease.

Check-In & Stay Info:

Villas are self-catering and offer a relaxed, home-from-home feel. Standard check-in is from 4 PM, with checkout by 12 Midday.

Dining Options:

While villas are fully equipped for self-catering, guests can also enjoy meals at the main clubhouse restaurant. In summer, the seasonal clubhouse by the pool is open for light bites and drinks.

Getting Around:

The resort is slightly elevated, so walking to the clubhouse (approx. 800m uphill) may not suit everyone.

Towns & Villages:

The Portuguese town of Castro Marim is just a few minutes away, known for its medieval castle and August medieval festival. Across the river, the Spanish town of Ayamonte is easily reached by a low-cost ferry — perfect for a lunch trip or a cultural detour.
