No matter where in Portugal you go, a golf trip to the country is almost guaranteed to offer you sunny, warm weather.

And if you're after a holiday that allows you to get in some hours on a top-quality course, you may want to stay at villas in Algarve during your break.

By going on such villa holidays, you can not only benefit from the year-round pleasant temperatures in the Algarve region, but also practice your game at some stunning courses.

There are numerous top-quality golf courses in the Algarve, giving you plenty of chance to get on the green while in the region on a villa holiday. You can choose to play at the Oceanico Faldo Course, designed by golfing icon Nick Faldo, or test your skills at the 18-hole San Lorenzo course.

Wherever you choose to play, a spot of golf during your Algarve villa holiday is sure to be a memorable experience.

However, if you're looking to follow in the footsteps of legends like Jack Nicklaus and Colin Montgomery, you should be sure to visit one of the numerous golfing schools in the region. Here you can receive expert tuition on how to improve your game, whether you need help with putting, chipping or how to avoid landing in bunkers.

You can have a private one-to-one lesson or join a group session. No matter which you choose, you can be sure that you can get help on lowering your handicap in next to no time.

If you want to concentrate on your teeing off technique, heading to a driving range from your Algarve villa for a spot of practice before going to a full-length course may be advisable.

After spending a day on the fairways, you can go back to your villa in Algarve to relax and consider how you can improve your game for when you next head out on to the golf course.

But with so many things to see and do in the region, you should spend at least some of your villa holidays away from your accommodation and the golfing green. Algarve is home to some fantastic beaches, so why not take a walk along the seafront before going for a dip?
