Our Recommended Courses
Faldo Course
The Amendoeira Golf Resort is situated in the central Algarve district of Silves, half an hour’s drive from Faro airport and the two new courses here – Faldo and O’Connor Jnr – are the first to be constructed within a rural area that once held dominion over the south coast of Portugal.
Once part of the burgeoning Oceânico golfing empire, Amendoiera’s pair of 18-hole championship layouts are complemented by a 9-hole par three track which is floodlit for evening use, along with a number of practice chipping and putting areas. In all honesty, it’s a modern golf facility to match any of the others along this famous golfing coastline.
Faldo’s course calls for golfers to play strategically, avoiding the desert scrub bunkers, rocky outcrops, wandering water hazards and olive trees that lurk in wait for errant shots. Careful positioning of the golf ball will afford the opportunity to score well so “keeping it in play” are the main watchwords here, especially on the hillier back nine.
O'Connor Course
The future is bright for Christy O'Connor Junior's course at Amendoeira Golf Resort, which opened in October 2008, in fact, the architect “wanted one hole where it was just oranges”… Christy O'Connor Junior explained: “I wanted one hole where it was just oranges. The whole of this part of the Algarve is blessed with thousands of acres of orange groves and I wanted to bring some inside the course as well. I have managed to create such a hole, the fifth, which has orange groves left and right and should be a real beauty to play. There is also a huge orange grove off to the left on the fourth hole.” Part of the Amendoeira Golf Resort, which is located in the central Algarve district of Silves, the O’Connor course is a perfect complement to its highly rated sibling, the Faldo course, and this pair of 18-hole championship layouts are supplemented by a floodlit 9-hole par three track and a couple of practice chipping and putting areas – all that you might expect at a high-end modern golf complex.

What our customers say
Dominican Republic 5*
Gerard was very helpful. Package is exactly as we wanted and the value was very competitive. We can't wait for the holiday! Thanks very much for all your help.
Garden Route
I've dealt with Breanne and, for our latest trip, Gareth. Both proved to be very knowledgeable, helpful and efficient in suggesting options, making the bookings and dealing with follow-up queries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Dubai & Mauritius Golf Trip
Our trip to Dubai (to watch DP World Tour staying at Address Montgomerie) for 4 nights followed by Mauritius (Constance Belle Mare Plage) for 9 nights was a magnificent golf trip, suggested and planned meticulously by Breanne. We were treated to the best possible service, golf and accommodation. It's very difficult to find any faults with it. (there aren't any!)
Extra Mile
Booked a few trips with this Company, Breanne, Phil & Ian and Brilliant in fulfilling your requirements. Nothing is too much trouble they go the extra mile throughout.
Thanks Again
Fantastic package
From the moment I called to enquire about our recent group golf trip to Mauritius the service I received and Breanne in particular was fantastic. The attention to detail was very good and answering questions along the way was always prompt.
Former Caddie
I have been very lucky as a former tour caddie to stay at great hotels and walk the best golf courses around the world and the package Breanne put together for us was right up there. I would highly recommend. We will be booking for 2026! Thank you once again.
Definitely using Chaka again
Wow, what a trip! Chaka Travel absolutely nailed our holiday. Everything was so well organised that we barely had to think about a thing. The resort was stunning and their local tips were spot on. We'll definitely be using them again for our next getaway.
Golf and Sunshine
As a golf fanatic I'm pretty fussy about my holiday destinations. Gerard at Chaka Travel found me the perfect spot. The golf facilities were incredible and the courses were challenging in all the right ways. They really know their stuff when it comes to golf trips.
Mauritius golf trip
Couldn't believe how good this golf trip was! Chaka Travel just get it. The courses were absolutely brilliant - challenging but not impossible. Managed to play some of the best golf of my life and the resort was pretty nice too. Definitely booking with them again.
Well planned trip to Mexico
I'm usually really fussy about golf breaks but they absolutely nailed it. Everything was so well organised - tee times booked, accommodation was good and not a single hitch. Played some incredible courses and didn't have to stress about a single detail. Exactly what I wanted.
Great trip to Greece
Wanted a break that was more than just golf but still serious about the game. Incredible courses that were challenging enough to keep me interested but the resort was luxurious too. Managed to relax and play some great golf.
Really good package
Not your typical golf holiday. Chaka Travel found us courses I'd never have discovered on my own with varying difficulty meant everyone in the group was happy. Felt like a proper golf adventure not just another package tour. Seriously impressed with their local knowledge and planning.
