Inland golf among olive groves
Silves sits inland, away from the coastal crowds, and its golf reflects that — rolling hills, ancient olive groves, and space to breathe. The Amendoeira Golf Resort anchors the area with two distinct courses, while a third option closer to town trades prestige for charm.
The Amendoeira Faldo Course is the sterner test — tight, strategic, and shaped to punish loose drives through exposed hillside terrain. The Amendoeira O'Connor Course plays wider and more forgiving, with sweeping elevation changes and broader fairways that reward length off the tee.
Silves Golf is a quieter proposition — a shorter, walkable course with views of the medieval castle from several holes. Green fees sit well below the resort courses, making it a solid option for a relaxed midweek round.
