Silves afpop Badminton

afpop’s Silves group advertises a regular social badminton evening at the pavilion of Escola EB 2,3 Dr. Garcia Domingues. Players bring their own rackets and contribute towards the session costs. Contact the organisers about joining rather than treating the school pavilion as an unrestricted court-hire venue.

What to expect

The activity uses a booked evening slot in the school sports pavilion in Silves. The organiser invites people to try badminton and describes it as a regular group, providing a more specific route into the sport than simply locating a hall with badminton markings. It can suit people staying in and around Silves who want to meet other players during a longer holiday.

Arrange your attendance with the group before going to the school. Bring your own racket as requested, and confirm the current session, contribution and any participation conditions. This is a community-organised booking within an education facility, so access depends on that session rather than the school grounds being generally open. Ask about the playing format and whether a beginner can join on your proposed evening, especially during school breaks or a change in the regular programme.

Amendoeira Academy Course

Alcantarilha, Silves · Amendoeira Golf Resort

The Amendoeira Academy Course is a nine-hole pitch-and-putt layout between the Faldo and O’Connor Jnr. courses. Floodlighting and different teeing options make it a distinct short-golf proposition. It offers beginners and established players a smaller playing format, with tuition and other practice facilities available through the resort golf academy.

Amendoeira Faldo Course

Alcantarilha, Silves · Amendoeira Golf Resort

The Faldo Course is one of Amendoeira’s two distinct 18-hole layouts, inland from Armação de Pêra at Alcantarilha. Its higher, rocky terrain calls for careful shot placement.
