This tour combines iconic courses with authentic local experiences, ensuring you’ll enjoy far more than just golf.
I’m travelling alone. Will I fit in?
Absolutely, and you wouldn’t be alone in doing so.
Many of our guests travel solo. Our women’s tours are designed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive, making it easy to meet new people and feel immediately at home. We welcome women from all over the world onto our tours, and the shared love of golf and travel is all you need in common.
From the welcome drinks function on the first evening through to the farewell dinner, you’ll be part of a supportive group of women who share your passions. Many of our guests return year after year, and the friendships formed on tour often last a lifetime.
Do I need to be a low-handicap golfer?
Not at all.
Our tours attract women of all golfing abilities, from single-figure handicappers to those who simply love playing in great places. The focus is on enjoying world-class golf in incredible destinations, not competitive play.
Whether you’re a seasoned tournament golfer or play purely for the joy of it, you’ll feel completely welcome. Our hosts ensure the group dynamic is enjoyable for everyone on the course.
Why is Golf & Tours a specialist in women’s golf travel?
Golf & Tours has spent over a decade creating premium escorted golf holidays designed specifically around the way women like to travel.
We understand that great golf travel is about more than tee times. That’s why our tours balance championship golf with cultural experiences, relaxation, exceptional dining and the opportunity to connect with other women from around the world.
Every detail, from hotel selection and sightseeing experiences to dining recommendations and local insights, is chosen with our guests’ comfort and enjoyment in mind. It’s the kind of care and attention that keeps our guests coming back, and brings new guests to us from every corner of the globe.
What makes Golf & Tours a destination expert for Portugal and Spain?
Our team has extensive experience travelling, inspecting and designing golf tours throughout Portugal and Spain. We work closely with local golf clubs, hotels, guides and suppliers to create itineraries that go well beyond simply booking courses.
Rather than assembling a standard package, we curate complete travel experiences that include:
- Portugal and Spain’s top-ranked golf courses, including exclusive private access
- Authentic cultural experiences unique to each destination
- Boutique local dining and Michelin-starred restaurants
- Luxury accommodation in prime locations
- Private guided sightseeing with expert local guides
- Insider recommendations you won’t find in any guidebook
Our guests benefit from years of on-the-ground knowledge and trusted partnerships across the Iberian Peninsula.
Is this tour only about golf?
Not at all.
While the golf is exceptional, the tour is equally about experiencing the very best of Portugal and Spain. Guests enjoy experiences including:
- A private tram tour through Lisbon with a local guide
- A half-day boat cruise through the beautiful Ria Formosa Natural Park
- A Michelin-starred beachside lunch at 2 Passos Restaurant
- Free time to discover Seville’s magnificent history and architecture
- Leisure days in glamorous Marbella, with 27km of coastline to explore
- Optional flamenco dinner and show
- Exceptional local cuisine and regional specialties throughout
Many guests tell us these cultural experiences become some of their favourite memories from the entire tour.
What is it like travelling with a Golf & Tours Host?
One of the greatest advantages of travelling with Golf & Tours is having a dedicated, experienced host with you every step of the way.
Your host manages the logistics, coordinates transfers and tee times, assists with any local arrangements, and is always available whenever you need support. They know the destinations, know the people, and know how to make a group of women from different backgrounds feel immediately at ease together.
This means you can fully relax and focus on enjoying your holiday, knowing every detail has been taken care of by someone who genuinely cares about your experience.
What accommodation can I expect?
We carefully select premium hotels that offer excellent locations, comfort and service befitting a luxury group golf tour.
On this journey, guests stay at the PortoBay Liberdade in Lisbon (5-star), the Ria Park Hotel & Spa in the Algarve (5-star), and Hotel Amàre Marbella on the Costa del Sol (4-star beachfront), each chosen to provide a relaxing, well-located base from which to explore the golf courses and experiences around them.
Why book with Golf & Tours rather than organising the trip myself?
While it’s possible to arrange golf and travel independently, coordinating tee times, accommodation, transfers, sightseeing, restaurants and group logistics across two countries is complex, time-consuming, and rarely delivers the same quality of experience.
Golf & Tours takes care of everything, including:
- Tee times at world-ranked courses, including exclusive private access
- Luxury hotel accommodation throughout
All ground transportation and transfers - Private guided sightseeing
- Special group functions and dining experiences
- Local recommendations and a tailor-made destination guide
- Full tour hosting and on-the-ground support
All you need to do is pack your clubs and enjoy the experience.

- Breakfast
- Half Day Lisbon Tour in a Private Tram
- Evening at Leisure
Among Lisbon’s most treasured symbols are the iconic yellow trams that meander through the city’s narrow, cobbled streets. Our group will have the exclusive use of one of these timeless trams all to ourselves, cruising through Lisbon’s picturesque neighbourhoods in unrivalled style and comfort. This tour of Lisbon will be escorted by a local, English-speaking guide, who will take us through some of Lisbon’s most charming districts. Traverse the ancient streets of Alfama, where Fado music echoes from traditional taverns and the scent of grilled sardines fills the air. We’ll glide through the bustling Baixa district, with its grand plazas and bustling shopping streets, before making our way up to the historic Bairro Alto, known for its bohemian atmosphere and vibrant nightlife.
Evening at Leisure
After your walking tour today, you may have seen some cute little Lisboa Tascas or mercearias that you’d like to try for dinner this evening.

- Optional Dinner with Host
This morning we will check out of our hotel and transfer to the beautiful Algarve, stopping on the way to play golf. We will reach the club via a lovely short ferry crossing from Setubal to the Peninsula of Troia.
The Dunas Course at Terras da Comporta, designed by David McLay Kidd, opened in 2023, and has already established itself in the top tier of continental golf. The fescue feast of Dunas plays like a links course and sits 1km from the Atlantic Ocean. The holes are routed along wide fairways lined by corridors of mature trees, where playability off the tee is paramount – with sandy waste areas populated with some native vegetation – you need strategy on every tee shot. There is always a better side of the fairway to approach the green from and sometimes dramatic reward for a bold line.
Located in the Algarve, within the Ria Formosa Natural Park, the 5 Star Ria Park Hotel & Spa is surrounded by a verdant valley from where you can see the beach and the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This resort offers modern comforts and amenities with vast open spaces and breathtaking views. Relax at the full-service spa, where you can enjoy massages, body treatments, and facials.
- Breakfast
- Return group transfers to golf and lunch
- Old Course Vilamoura – 18 Holes with Shared Motorised Cart

- Evening at Leisure
Nestled in the heart of the Algarve, the Old Course Vilamoura has been a premier destination for golf enthusiasts since its opening in 1969. Designed by renowned architect Frank Pennink, this iconic course is celebrated for its classic parkland layout, which harmonizes natural beauty with strategic challenges. Its gently rolling fairways, lined with towering pine trees, and meticulously placed bunkers provide a golfing experience that is both picturesque and rewarding.
Recognised internationally, the Old Course has been included in prestigious rankings such as the Golf World Top 100 by Today’s Golfer, Best Golf Courses in Portugal by Golf Digest, and Best Golf Courses in Europe by National Club Golfer. Today, it stands not just as a golf course, but as a living piece of history—one that has evolved while staying true to the timeless vision Frank Pennink set out over half a century ago.
Late Lunch at 2 Passos Restaurant (Set menu & drinks included)
Founded more than 30 years ago, this Michelin star restaurant is located in on Praia da Ancão beach, in the heart of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.

- Evening at Leisure
The Ria Formosa is a wetland, covering an area of about 18,400 acres along 60 kilometres from the Ancão River to Manta Rota beach. It is considered one of the most beautiful parks in Portugal, due to its great wealth of unique flora, fauna and wildlife. Once on board you will be guided by the professional and experienced skipper around this coastal land on the fringes of the Algarve.
Much of this area is made up of sandy beaches that are largely empty even at peak times of year. The rest of the park is a blend of scrub and grass, wildlife, wetlands, and humble, white-washed houses clustered together in a handful of villages.
Evening at Leisure
- Breakfast
- Return group transfers to golf
- The Els Club – 18 Holes with shared carts
- Evening at leisure
The Els Club Vilamoura is far more than just another Algarve golf venue; it is a statement of world-class design and thoughtful craftsmanship set against a striking natural backdrop. Drawing on decades of elite playing experience, Ernie Els has translated his deep understanding of the game into a layout that feels both purposeful and timeless.
Formerly the Victoria Course, the extensively reimagined Els Club Vilamoura reflects a clear commitment to excellence. Gently sculpted fairways invite confident shot-making, while strategically positioned bunkers demand precision and intelligent course management. The greens are pristine and true, rewarding a deft touch and careful reading. Throughout the round, each hole offers its own strategic personality, framed by sweeping views that showcase the Algarve’s inherent beauty. The result is a course that challenges accomplished players while remaining engaging and enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.

Your host manages the logistics, coordinates transfers and tee times, assists with any local arrangements, and is always available whenever you need support. They know the destinations, know the people, and know how to make a group of women from different backgrounds feel immediately at ease together.
This means you can fully relax and focus on enjoying your holiday, knowing every detail has been taken care of by someone who genuinely cares about your experience.
What accommodation can I expect?
We carefully select premium hotels that offer excellent locations, comfort and service befitting a luxury group golf tour.
On this journey, guests stay at the PortoBay Liberdade in Lisbon (5-star), the Ria Park Hotel & Spa in the Algarve (5-star), and Hotel Amàre Marbella on the Costa del Sol (4-star beachfront), each chosen to provide a relaxing, well-located base from which to explore the golf courses and experiences around them.
Why book with Golf & Tours rather than organising the trip myself?
While it’s possible to arrange golf and travel independently, coordinating tee times, accommodation, transfers, sightseeing, restaurants and group logistics across two countries is complex, time-consuming, and rarely delivers the same quality of experience.
Golf & Tours takes care of everything, including:
- Tee times at world-ranked courses, including exclusive private access
- Luxury hotel accommodation throughout
All ground transportation and transfers - Private guided sightseeing
- Special group functions and dining experiences
- Local recommendations and a tailor-made destination guide
- Full tour hosting and on-the-ground support
All you need to do is pack your clubs and enjoy the experience.

The Dunas Course at Terras da Comporta, designed by David McLay Kidd, opened in 2023, and has already established itself in the top tier of continental golf. The fescue feast of Dunas plays like a links course and sits 1km from the Atlantic Ocean. The holes are routed along wide fairways lined by corridors of mature trees, where playability off the tee is paramount – with sandy waste areas populated with some native vegetation – you need strategy on every tee shot. There is always a better side of the fairway to approach the green from and sometimes dramatic reward for a bold line.
Located in the Algarve, within the Ria Formosa Natural Park, the 5 Star Ria Park Hotel & Spa is surrounded by a verdant valley from where you can see the beach and the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This resort offers modern comforts and amenities with vast open spaces and breathtaking views. Relax at the full-service spa, where you can enjoy massages, body treatments, and facials.
