Packing for an Algarve golf holiday is exciting — but getting the small things right makes a massive difference between good rounds and unforgettable ones. Here’s our no-nonsense guide to the must-have golf accessories.
1. Sun Protection (Non-Negotiable in the Algarve)
- High-SPF sunscreen & lip balm
- Wide-brim hat or visor
- Lightweight, breathable long-sleeve polo for UV protection
The Algarve sun is strong even in colder seasons. Protect yourself so you can enjoy all 18 holes.
2. Grips & Gloves
Fresh grips are game-changers in the heat — sweat + old grips = slips. We offer professional regripping services so your clubs feel secure all week, and all rental sets have grips regularly cleaned, inspected & replaced.
A quality glove (or two) that handles humidity is essential.
3. Balls & Tees
Bring plenty of quality balls suited to your game. For tees, pack wooden or plastic ones that stand up to the often firm ground.
4. Course Management Tools
- Rangefinder or GPS watch/app (available to add onto rentals with Up'N'Down Golf)
- Divot repair tool & ball markers
- Small towel or club brush (provided with your rental with Up'N'Down Golf)
5. Comfort & Recovery
- Comfortable golf shoes (spikeless or spiked, both work great here)
- Spare socks (take a pair to the course if you can)
- Blister plasters & foot powder
- Snacks & hydration pack
