Portugal is perfect for group vacations given the fantastic hospitality at all of the resorts and the short transfers between courses.

Travel tips for a Portugal golf vacation:
Best time to visit: Visit in April to June or September to October. These months offer warm weather, plenty of sunshine, and more comfortable playing conditions than the peak summer heat.
How long to stay: Plan for 5 to 7 nights. That gives you enough time to settle in after the flight, play several rounds, enjoy the coast and add a day for Lisbon, Cascais, or Algarve sightseeing.
Extra tip: Base yourself in the Algarve for the easiest golf vacation. Many of the top resorts and courses are close together, so groups can enjoy short transfers between rounds, beach time, restaurants, and nightlife without too much travel.
A golfer's paradise in the sun
Spain is one of Europe’s most popular golf vacation destinations, with the Costa del Sol standing out as its premier region for US travelers. Often known as the “Costa del Golf”, this sun-soaked stretch of southern Spain offers an unbeatable mix of championship courses, luxury resorts, beach towns, and easy access through Malaga Airport.
From Marbella to Sotogrande, golfers can enjoy world-class layouts, warm Mediterranean weather, lively après-golf, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere that makes the Costa del Sol ideal for couples, groups, and unforgettable golf getaways.
