One of the most amazingly and unexpectedly rewarding activities you could ever think of is Lisbon golf, a perfect sport for the holiday you have been planning for this spring.

So, since spring is officially only… erm, about a month away, here is something we can do to make your trip here even better: take up a surprising hobby, an outdoors activity very suitable for the warmth and the sun that graces the capital city of Portugal almost year-long: golf.

Don’t get distracted by the seemingly “stuffy” air of golf: it is by no means an aristocratic, boring thing that entails a bunch of geriatrics moving their hips in funny ways while trying to shoot a small white ball into a hole in the ground. Golf is cool!

In recent years, golf has started attaining ever more popularity and becoming more and more available for the large public. Portugal is one of the most prominent European (and in fact world-wide) golfing destinations, providing excellent golf courses and resorts to practice your sport, but also great golf services.

Lisbon golf

The idea of “golf services” may seem bizarre, but since golf is a true sports industry in Lisbon and its surroundings, there are places that sell or rent golf clubs, hotels that provide lodgings and golf courses for golf fans and – a very important aspect, by the way – there are Lisbon golf transfers that are especially fashioned to take you to the golf course of your choice and then back home.

Back to golf, here are a few reasons why you should consider trying it – of course, in case you are not a golf player already:

It is an intelligent sport, one of precision, attention and strategy;
It encourages spending time outside, in the fresh air and the mild sun;
It is fun either you are playing alone or in a team;
It does not require incredible skills for beginners and it is open for everyone!
