Portugal is an independent kingdom since the 12th century, Portugal is one of Europe's oldest nations and their way of life is still gloriosly simple and relaxed with honest food and their world famous Port and Madeira.

Thanks to great weather, Portugal also is one of Europe's most popular golfing destinations and this is despite the fact that there are only 87 courses in the country with less han 15,000 registered Portuguese golfclub members.
