Golf transfers in the western Algarve
Amendoeira, Penina and Palmares, between Silves, Alvor and Lagos. Longer drives than in Vilamoura, so the comfort of the vehicle and the timing to the tee matter more.

West of Albufeira the courses spread out: Amendoeira, with the Faldo and O'Connor courses near Silves; Penina, Henry Cotton's course between Portimão and Alvor; and Palmares above the bay of Lagos.
From Vilamoura that is 30 minutes to an hour on the A22, so for a morning tee time we plan the pickup with a margin for traffic. If you are staying in the west, the same courses are much closer, and we also collect in Lagos, Alvor and Portimão.
