The Top 5 Resorts And Locations For Golf Holidays In Portugal

Published by Rod Dunne under Golf

Within Europe, Portugal has long been regarded as the ideal location for golf holidays due to its year round fine weather and range of championship courses. This does make compiling a top five list quite tricky.

This top five list brings together several on-line surveys along with the personal experience of playing some of these courses while on golf holidays in Portugal.

On a hot summer’s day the 6000 yard Estoril course is an enjoyable treat. The course requires skill around the 18 holes to navigate the well placed bunkers and difficult rough.

San Lorenzo is one of the gems of the Algarve region. It regularly features on European top 10 lists of courses and boasts finely manicured greens and fairways with a course design that offers a range of holes.

For fans of links golf for whom budget is not an issue, then the pricey Vale do Lobo Royal and Ocean golf club offers a championship golfing experience. The scenery of the neighboring 5 kilometer beach complements the well kept fairways and greens throughout the courses 18 holes.

The Oitavos Golf Club is a well architected course that makes the most of the surrounding countryside. It has played host to the Open and as a result the front nine and back nine holes require long tee shots and accurate second shots in order to avoid the bunkers that are dotted around most greens.

No golfing holiday to Portugal could be complete without experiencing the Vilamoura Old Course. The steep fairways and strategic bunker placement can quickly punish what would initially appear to be accurate drives. The course architecture is sympathetically surrounded with pine trees especially on dog-legs which add to the courses difficulty.

It is fair to say that this list cannot be considered as fully comprehensive and no doubt misses out some other charming courses. Hopefully though, it provides a guide to the sheer variety of championship courses of offer in Portugal.

Looking for European golfing breaks? For the perfect golf holiday, the Algarve, Estoril and the other Portuguese regions have it all. Visit the Golf Holidays Portugal website to learn more.

Discover Ireland – Ballybunion Hotels And Amenities Guide

Published by Michael J. Murphy under Golf

Ballybunion is a charming seaside resort town in the south west of Ireland which has been drawing in tourists to its sandy beaches and to its golf clubs for many decades.

A key factor in the village’s popularity is that it is one of the few towns in the area not to have been over-commercialized with coffee shops and trendy bars. Instead it has retained a small traditional Irish town feel to it that foreign and Irish visitors still wish to experience.

The brunt of tourism to the area is drawn to the family-friendly beach and secondly to the local golf courses.

In the high season, many families take day trips to Ballybunion to enjoy its family friendly sandy beach. For older children, and the adventurous, there is a flourishing surfing scene centered on the beach. It’s a good choice for beginners or improvers to try out their surf skills since waves are not particularly high.

When the beach is crowded in summer, many visitors partake of the enjoyable cliff walk to take in the sea views and also visit some of the other beaches in the area. The ‘Nuns’ beach, with its overlooking nunnery, is a particularly nice spot for whiling away a relaxing summers day.

For holidaying golfers, a round or two at Ballybunion golf club should not be missed. The 2 courses are world famous with the Old Course regularly appearing in the top 50 lists of courses in the world. Certainly, it is in the top 3 of links style courses world-wide. The second ‘Cashen’ course is less famous, but equally enjoyable to play. The one big tip though is to book a tee-time well in advance.

A place of honor has been set aside for one of Ballybunion’s most famous golfing visitors. Former president Bill Clinton visited the golf club in 1998 to play a round of golf and to commemorate the visit the town elders installed a full size statue of Mr. Clinton in the town centre (the first such statue for the former president anywhere in the world).

The only downside to the village’s old style charm is that there are not many Ballybunion hotels and those that are would largely be considered as guesthouses. Therefore, most visitors choose to base themselves in hotels in the surrounding countryside and make day trips in to Ballybunion. Given that this area of County Kerry has some of the most beautiful countryside in Ireland it won’t be such a bad thing to be based outside the village.

Visitors to Ballybunion should drop by the small tourist office on the main street for information regarding any of the summer festivals & fares, local amenities and bus timetables.

Visit the Ballybunion Hotels website for independent advice about hotels, amenities, day trips and Ballybunion Golf Course

An Introduction To Portuguese Golfing Regions

Published by Arthur A. Sellers under Golf

A golf holiday to Portugal may be something that a great many foreign visitors won’t initially consider. In terms of European golf, the country is competing against the golfing super-powers of the British Isles, with its golfing heritage, and neighboring Spain, with its range of courses.

The array of top quality golf courses combined with the Mediterranean climate has been a huge draw for golfing breaks. The Portuguese government and the tourism board have also seen the tourism potential of holiday golfers so a great many golf resorts have begun to spring up in several regions.

The main golfing holiday regions are centered on the Lisbon region in the south west, the Algarve region in the south, the island of Madeira and the Oeste region.

Lisbon and the Estoril coast region offers the fullest range of accommodation price-wise, combined with the wonderful backdrop of the Sintra mountain range. Combine this with an array of dining options that you’d expect from a modern European capital.

The Algarve, in the south of Portugal offers the largest range of clubs to play, and for every type of budget. The southern Portuguese coast benefits from a balmy Mediterranean climate that ensures all year round golfing is possible.

Vilamoura, in the central Algarve, hosts an abundance of golf resorts and world class courses including the Quinta do Lago Laranjal and several clubs in the Oceanico resort. The eastern Algarve climate is a little cooler and green fees become a little pricier the more east you travel. Highlights of the area are the Seve Balasteros designed Quinta do Vale golf course and the Jack Nicklaus designed Monte Rei.

The island of Madeira (a small island 500 kilometers due west of the Algarve in the North Atlantic) is a different proposition. It prides itself as a paradise island location and it is truly that.

For the avid golfer, this island provides 3 exceptional courses to play. So, while it doesn’t have the breadth of course choices to offer, it can definitely provide for an idyllic golf location for those seeking something different.

The one region that is lagging behind the others is the Oeste region which doesn’t have the championship clubs and plush resorts found elsewhere. But if you are seeking some tranquility then the pleasant golf clubs, scenic drives and charming villages could make for a relaxing golfing break.

On the subject of green fees, the cost can vary widely across the country. Expect to pay a minimum of 50 Euro for a regular quality course in low season and around 80 to 90 Euro during the high season (July & August).

The majority of courses can be booked online and it is highly recommended to book in advance. Dress codes are usually informal but it is worth checking club websites online.

Who Claimed February Is A Miserable Time Of Year?

Published by Wendy Goldsmith under Winter Sports

Very few people look forward to February, a month that falls in the thick of winter and often leaves us feeling as if the cold weather will never end.

While you may not be looking forward to the second month of the year, you should also keep a few things in mind that give you something to look forward to. The month isn\’t as bad as people make it out to be.

Let\’s take a look at some of the highlights of this month, as you might even be inspired by some of them. They\’ll help to pass the time, and the month will fly by and be done with before you had a chance to think about it.

There are a few holidays during the course of the month, and holidays always help to make things interesting. While Groundhog\’s Day, the first one to hit during February, isn\’t too interesting, anyone who hates winter will appreciate it since it truly marks the impending arrival of spring.

Less than two weeks later, Valentine\’s Day hits us, and it comes on the weekend in 2010. This may give you the opportunity to go somewhere special with your loved one if you\’d like to enjoy yourself as the time passes.

A week after that, President\’s Day comes. Students love this for the fact that a day off or an extended break may come with it, but many employers offer the day off to their workforce too. Enjoy your free time if you don\’t have to work on this holiday.

Then, there are a few sports milestones to look forward to as well. For one, the Winter Olympics begin during February. In Vancouver this year, they\’re sure to bring a good amount of action to the television sets of millions around the world.

Racing fans will also be delighted to know that NASCAR once again resumes, as the year starts off with the Daytona 500 on the second Sunday of the month.

Benefits Of Dublin City Breaks

Published by Helen James under Outdoor Sporting

Everyone can use a break every now and then, and that is what makes city breaks so popular. In this article we will discuss Dublin city breaks. This will consist of some of the more popular attractions or sights to see in Dublin, Ireland.

You might not be aware of what a city break is. Basically, the best that I can describe it is similar to that of a mini vacation from your day to day life. A city break is typically packing up and heading off to a city that you have never seen or truly experienced to the fullest. Taking a weekend or a couple of available days and seeing what the city has to offer.

Dublin, Ireland is a great city to start a city break. There is a lot to do and so many places to see. One of the first things you might want to consider doing is taking a guided tour and hear some of the history of the city, which is the capital of Ireland. Apart from the tour, there are two must-sees that you have to check out while in town.

One of these is the Dublin Castle. This massive castle stands as a symbol of the perseverance of Ireland as a country. Through 700 years, Ireland fought to gain its independence and freedom from tyrannical England. This is a walk through the history that allowed Ireland to gain the freedom that it so desired. This is a great educational stop on the tour.

If you really want to experience Dublin, you have to check out the Guiness storehouse. This establishment is the place where the famous Guiness Irish Stout was created and where you can take a brief tour through 250 years that got the beer to where it is today. You will also find a free pint of the beer in your hands at the tour\’s end, if you are interested in getting a true taste of Dublin.

While you can start with Dublin city breaks, the beauty of these breaks is that they can take you and your family anywhere your heart desires. There is no agenda, no plans, just appreciation and relaxation.

Amazing dublin city breaks are perfect for all the family, book now over at http://www.travelsoon.com/dublin-city-breaks.html
