Portugal

Dana Garmany, chairman and CEO of Troon Golf, which manages more than 200 golf courses in 32 countries, cites Portugal as a worldwide hotspot. "The southern Algarve region is within two hours of northern Europe and has a number of top-notch projects on the planning boards. It has the best weather in Europe in the winter and offers a combination of traditional golf properties and a big wave of new expansion." Jack Nicklaus' Monte Rei, outside the charming medieval town of Tavira, sets a new high standard for the area.
