What you should do before purchasing a golf property in Portugal is hire a lawyer to look over all the paperwork involved in purchasing the specific properties you are looking into. While countries such as the UK or Ireland have legal systems similar to the United States, and thus similar rules to purchasing property, Portugal’s varies greatly and has a legal system you may not be comfortable with.

A pair of 9 hole courses at Consolacao and Porto Novo complements these. All of these golf courses are close to the sandy Atlantic beaches that line Portugal’s coast and are set next to incredible golf properties that investors and golfers alike live in throughout the year.
One example of the outstanding golf properties for sale in Portugal, specifically in the Silver Coast is the villas of Aldeia das Descobertas.
