9 Nights / 4 Rounds / Cooking Class
Party of 4 with Driver
It would be hard to imagine a more enjoyable –
or eventful – nine days and nights in these two highly entertaining
and beautiful countries. The experience begins in Lisbon where
your driver will gather you at the airport and where you will
relax like royalty at the magnificent, five star  Hotel
Palacio Estoril. Walk this charming European capital, spend an
afternoon in the mountain enclave of Sintra, and play highly regarded
Penha Longa. En route to The Algarve and the
Vila Sol Spa & Golf Resort for your next three nights, you
will travel through the Alentejo wine region and visit Sir Cliff
Richard’s (Britain’s answer to Elvis Presley) famous
wine cellar. First in the Algarve, you’ll play the Royal
Course at Vale Do Lobo, then, go to school with one of
the area’s leading chefs. He will join you at the Olhao
fish market where you’ll learn how to choose the fish he
will teach you to prepare at his restaurant where it will be served
for your dinner. Spain’s exuberant Costa del Sol is next
with Hotel Puente Romano in Marbella as your home for the final
three nights. Play includes the Marbella Club
along with Continental Europe’s #1 layout and 1997 Ryder
Cup venue, Valderrama.
