Albufeira in Portugal's Algarve is a popular vacation destination. You can get a taste of the best of Portuguese golf on offer at Salgados, where you get to pit your skills against a good number of water hazards, as well as a recurrent on-shore breeze. At Balaia you have a 9 hole course that tests your short game and direction skills. Another golf course worth visiting is Pine Cliffs, or “Devil’s Parlour,” as you may join the locals in calling it depending on your experiences there.
