3 golf courses in Silves, Algarve
The inland area around historic Silves offers some of the Algarve's finest modern golf, led by the twin Amendoeira courses designed by Nick Faldo and Christy O'Connor Jr. Set in rolling countryside away from the coast, this area rewards those seeking top-quality golf in a quieter, more scenic setting.
Nick Faldo's 2008 design at Amendoeira Golf Resort is widely regarded as one of Portugal's finest modern courses. The par-72 layout combines strategic risk-and-reward holes with exceptional conditioning and open views across the Silves countryside.
Christy O'Connor Jr.'s 2008 par-72 design at Amendoeira offers a slightly more open and forgiving round alongside the Faldo Course. Both courses share the same immaculate facilities and rural Algarve setting inland from Carvoeiro.
An 18-hole par-72 course set inland near the historic Moorish town of Silves, offering a quieter alternative to the resort-heavy options on the coast. Rolling terrain, easy access, and a peaceful atmosphere make it a practical choice for golfers based in central Algarve.
