Popular TV show Golf\u2019s Greatest Holes is premiered its second season on Tuesday 11th April on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, featuring 26 different courses as well as numerous cultural hotspots throughout Portugal.<\/p>\n

Filming of the seven-part series was conducted at a collection of the finest golf courses in the country, with hosts Paul McGinley and Chris Hollins playing iconic holes at Quinta do Lago amongst many of the country’s other famous golfing destinations.<\/p>\n

The former Ryder Cup captain and TV presenter travelled from the Algarve to Cascais and Porto, to play exceptional courses such as Monte Rei, San Lorenzo, Vale do Lobo and Oitavos Dunes. The pair were reunited following the critical success of Season One in which they visited Paul\u2019s native Ireland and neighbouring Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the success of Season One, we couldn\u2019t wait to get back out on the road together,\u201d said Paul. \u201cPortugal is a country close to my heart, so to be able to show off the fantastic array of courses here is a real privilege. This country has been somewhat a second home for me over the years, so being able to follow up Ireland with another destination I hold dear is really very special. We were greeted with clear blue skies and bright sunshine for the duration of our trip, which made filming that much more enjoyable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The headline sponsor of the second series is One Green Way Residences, a luxury golf residential development that sets the bar for outdoor living at Quinta do Lago, and Asset Manager SPX Capital which has partnered with property developer Green Jacket Partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Green Way Residences is delighted to be involved with the series and we can\u2019t wait to see Paul and Chris play Quinta do Lago when the show is broadcast,\u201d said Daniel Schneider, founder of SPX Capital. \u201cIt is a great opportunity for golfers to see what a spectacular location and experience it is, and we look forward to welcoming visitors from around the world who want to enjoy everything that the Algarve has to offer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

With additional sponsors, TaylorMade and AVIS on board as well as returning sponsors, Motocaddy and Fairway & Greene, Paul and Chris were fitted out with state-of-the-art clubs, electric trolleys, bags, and apparel, for their Portuguese adventure.<\/p>\n

Boasting the greatest density of quality championship courses in Continental Europe, Portugal was an obvious choice for Season Two thanks to its diverse offering of first-class golf courses, from the sun-soaked coastal playground of the Algarve to the more rugged mountainous regions of Porto and the North.<\/p>\n
