The Algarve, Europe’s leading golf destination, is celebrating once again after being awarded the prestigious title of ‘Best Value Golf Destination’ in the 2015 Today’s Golfer Travel Awards.
The award, voted for by the readers of Today’s Golfer magazine, returns to the Algarve for the third time in four years, following previous wins in 2012 and 2013. The Algarve’s 41 courses provides more than a million rounds to overseas golf visitors each year and the region beat off competition from across Europe to win its latest accolade.
A spokesperson for Algarve Travel Association expressed great pride at this latest award. “We are absolutely delighted to have been recognised once again as Europe’s best value golf destination, particularly as the Today’s Golfer awards are voted for exclusively by golfers. To win the ‘Best Value’ prize also really demonstrates how highly UK golfers rate the Algarve – not only for the quality of our destination but for the great value they get whenever they visit. To win three times out of the last four years is particularly pleasing and we’ll be striving to ensure that we retain the trophy next year.”
Kevin Brown, travel editor at Today’s Golfer, said: “The annual TG Travel Awards – the ‘Oscars of the golf travel industry’ – have proved a huge hit since being introduced in 2011. They are awards which provide a totally objective view of the best hotels, courses and regions, because it is the paying public, our readers, who decide where the titles go. The Algarve is a deserving winner of the ‘Best Value Golf Destination’ as reflected by the overwhelming number of people who voted for the region. Winning three years out of four is a great record, and one the Algarve should be justly proud of.”
The people who work so hard to make the Algarve such a magnet for golfers the world over richly deserve this latest honour and have the warm congratulations of everyone at Clubhouse Algarve.
