I stayed in Carvoeiro last June, hired a villa through owners direct and just booked my own flights.
if there's only three of you, an apartment would do.
i used this guy https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carvoeiro-golf-shop/138990799536919 for all of my golf, played the pestana courses Pinta, Gramacho and Silves. He was really helpful and gave us some cracking deals too. These courses are definitely work a look, cost us 95 euros per two ball with buggy included. Carvoeiro was lively enough too, plenty bars/restaurants.
My father in law used to have a villa on this complex. Spent a fair bit of time there.
Tons of courses about, so thats not an issue.
Nightlife, carvoeiro is not bad, think small town with some decent bars which all stay open late. There is an awesome kareoke bar (dont run away, trust me!) its a proper good crack in there run by a crazy german guy. There is also a gentlemans club shall we call it, there used to be two! My father in law ran one!!
For more of a proper lads night out with clubs etc, Albufeira is about 30 minutes away from the pestana complex by taxi and thats i suppose the portugese equivalent of magaluf, aya napa etc. Expect to get home about 7AM if you go there! LOL
Travel is easy, Pestana is under an hour from Faro, decent hire car options or a taxi is about 60euro IIRC.
