It’s the height of the golfing season in the Algarve and, yes,we’ve had some rain this winter, but the gardens and the crops needed it so we’re not complaining. Visiting golfers may have dodged a shower or two, but it doesn’t happen that often on the whole (pardon the pun). Of course, if you’re here on a golfing break just now, the wet spell may have put a damper on your game. If you have your own home here, however, there’s always next week and the week after and, and, and.....
How to do it
Many golfers dream of owning a home on one of the Algarve’s stunning courses and some have made that dream come true. Here’s how it could work for you:
1. Buy a house, villa or apartment on an Algarve golf course.
2. Come and play throughout the winter months, enjoying the freedom to indulge in your sport as often as you want.
3. Rent out your golf course property, while you spend the summer in your homeland.
4. The rental income pays for your winters here and you’re Quids/Euros in at the end of the year!
Bonus: You get to start the summer with a healthy suntan!
More benefits
There are clubs that will give you a 6 month membership, so you don’t have to pay for the whole year and, because several clubs own more than one site, you can play any of their courses during your stay. There are also Associations for you to join where you get cheaper green fees, competitions and the freedom of many different courses throughout the Algarve.
With properties valued below bank valuations right now, it’s a very good time to buy the home of your dreams; you’re probably never going to get a better deal.
