Morgado Golf Course: A Championship Gem in the Algarve Nestled at the foothills of the Algarve's Monchique Mountains, just a short drive from the vibrant seaside town of Portimão and the charming fishing village of Alvor, Morgado Golf Course is home to the prestigious Portuguese Open Championship. This par-73 course offers a stunning and varied layout that caters to golfers of all levels, providing a memorable experience from start to finish. Morgado presents two distinct sets of nine holes — the front nine features a flatter landscape, while the back nine introduces more undulating terrain with breathtaking views of the Monchique Mountains. The back nine also brings an extra challenge as the valley's mountain-sided topography creates a funnel for gusting winds. The golf course is walkable for those up to the challenge, but when the weather heats up, a buggy is highly recommended, especially given the well-designed access paths to the fairways.
