    Hey All,

    For the first time since my early twenties I find myself available to go on a golf holiday - most likely on my own. I want to go somewhere sunny, with good food and would like to be able to squeeze in at least one round per day. Recommendations with an approximate cost of play/accommodation etc would be appreciated. Looking at October kind of time frame

    If your not too concerned bout the price.

    Look up Villamoura - means if you want to meet people at night you will - but golf more expensive. Golf is about 70 + euro a go.

    If your more adventurious and want a cheaper option.
    I'd say - go to a place that is not too touristy - rent a car a pick good course away from the big places like (Villamoura) - Spain is much cheaper for golf.


    I guess you need to decide if you want beach and people too ? Or an away from it all.

    When I was single I used to go to Villamoura on my own. I'd book my golf at a variety of courses and every day I'd be paired with other golfers to play. Golfers from Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Denmark, etc. Met a great variety of people and really enjoyed it. I remember people thinking I was mad going on my own, but any of my mates who golfed were married and couldn't go. I didn't get a car, free shuttle service to courses every day, or €10 for a taxi if I wanted.

    You could also look at the Lisbon area - some great courses around Cascais and you are very close to the city if you want to vary the experience beyond golf.
