Pestana Silves Golf Course

Pestana Silves Golf Course lies inland from the main Algarve coastal strip, close to the historic Moorish city of Silves with its impressive red sandstone castle. The course plays through orange and citrus groves as well as stands of pine, giving it a distinctly rural, agricultural character that sets it apart from the busier resort courses near the coast. The layout is generally forgiving enough to suit a range of handicaps, but elevated tees and some tighter fairways keep more experienced players engaged. After a round, Silves itself offers one of the more culturally rewarding visits in the region, making this a logical choice for golfers who want to mix heritage sightseeing with their game.
