Algarve Golf Holiday Anyone?
I’m happy to report that, even as I write, the snow that blanketed us on Saturday night is slowly melting away, the world is returning to normal and the airports are again open for business (amazing they were closed really, the snow was forecast and expected!).
Pondering the melting snow my attention was drawn by a European weather report which advised that, whilst we are freezing, snowed in and wrapping up to stop hypothermia, the Algarve is a sunny 15c (that’s 57 Fahrenheit in old money!).
In my humble opinion the opportunity to experience 15c of sunshine while playing a manicured golf course on the Algarve out of season when everything is cheaper is an opportunity not to be missed. Following a quick check of flight options it transpires that British Airways will whisk me off to the Algarve and back first week of March for the very reasonable cost of £181 whilst Easyjet appear to offer the same for £140 but then want to charge me £25 EACH WAY for my clubs! So, easy choice, British Airways it is then.
Unfortunately the golf holiday accommodation is a little trickier (in a nice way) because I’m simply spoilt for choice with Algarve Golf Accommodation at PackYourClubs.com. Is it to be an Algarve Golf Villa or Algarve Golf Apartment? Is it to be on one of the fantastic resorts so that the golf is right there for me or in the nearby village for the nightlife?
Having pondered the options on available golf holiday accommodation – Apartment on Vilamoura, Apartment on Vale do Lobo Golf, Apartment near Boavista Golf Resort, Frontline Villa on Quinta do Lago, Villa on Quinta do Gramacho, Villa near Amendoeira – I’ve got a headache. Too many options. But then I have a brainwave, the best thing to do is have a ring around and see who can join my little Spring time golf jaunt and then that will decide the appropriate golf accommodation for me!
PS. I’ve just had a quick check and I can even hire my clubs at Faro airport. Another decision to make!!!!!
