Herdade do Pinheirinho Golf tees off a new era in Portugal golf courses history

On Portugal’s exclusive Blue Coast, golf enthusiasts have a reason to rejoice with the grand, long-awaited official opening of Herdade do Pinheirinho Golf. This beautiful course, nestled in the heart of Portugal, promises a world-class golfing experience and a harmonious blend of luxury and nature.

Herdade do Pinheirinho boasts an 18-hole championship course designed by Jorge Santana da Silva to captivate golf players of every skill level. The sandy layout weaves seamlessly through the stunning Portuguese terrain, offering panoramic views of rolling hills and coastal beauty. Each hole is an invitation to challenge one’s skill while immersing oneself in the serene beauty of the surroundings.

Herdade do Pinheirinho: a unique design

Da Silva explained that the golf course design aimed to preserve as much natural vegetation as possible. Even in areas where they shaped each hole, they followed the original design from 12 years ago. The course is on a 90-hectare property near Dunas Terra da Comporta (designed by David McLay Kidd) and Costa Terra (by Fazio Design).

Our team of experts believes that Herdade do Pinheirinho is where the passion for golf will meet the elegance of Portuguese hospitality. Its 6,530-yard par 72 offers an excellent challenge for those looking for the best golf breaks in Lisbon. The seal of Vic Properties, which was on hold for several years, is present in this project. However, the time has come for the inauguration of the golf course designed by the famous architect Santana da Silva.

Located an hour and a half drive from Lisbon, you, your family and your friends could embark on an extraordinary golfing journey amidst the scenic beauty of Herdade do Pinheirinho. Every swing will tell a story against the backdrop of Portugal’s natural splendour. We invite you to celebrate the opening of a new chapter in Portuguese golfing sophistication.

Portugal Golf – International Pairs Golf Final returns to Portugal

International Pairs Golf Óbidos 2023. Portugal hosts another International Pairs Golf final.

International Pairs Golf Final returns to Portugal for the 4th time in 7 years

The International Pairs Golf World Final 2023 will be held at Royal Óbidos and Bom Sucesso, in the Lisbon region, from 6 to 10 November.

Armandt Scholtz, managing director of International Pairs Golf, says that Portugal “has always been a great place for the event, with its beautiful golf courses, friendly people, and lively culture”, and that “the International Pairs tournament has had the privilege of hosting previous finals in the Algarve from 2017-2019″.

For a number of reasons, Portugal stood out as an outstanding choice for the event’s final. To begin, Portugal has become a well-known golf destination that draws golf fans worldwide. The country has a huge number of excellent golf courses with a wide range of landscapes and difficult layouts that appeal to both amateur and professional players.

According to Armandt Scholtz: “There are many economic, cultural, and publicity benefits for Portugal that come from hosting the International Pairs World Final: the event brings a lot of people to the area, which creates jobs, brings in more tax money, and helps the business grow in general. It makes the country more well-known in the world of golf and has a good effect on tourism, local businesses, and community involvement”.

The managing director of the competition also says that the tournament brings business opportunities in the hospitality, food and beverage, retail, transport, tourism, sponsorship, advertising and event services sectors.

Scholtz affirms that golf is very important to tourism and could have a big effect on the industry. Over the holidays, golfers tend to stay longer so they have time to try out new courses while they move around the country.

Another interesting statistic is that golf generally attracts “high value” tourists who have a higher disposable income and are willing to spend a little more during their golf holiday. This plays an important role in the overall growth of the economy of a region.
