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.

Marco Penge wins Open de Portugal 2023. Open de Portugal 2023 is won by Marco Penge.

Open de Portugal ended with a victory for Marco Penge

The 25-year-old Marco Penge won the 61st Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos, Lisbon region, completing an eventful year that included his marriage, qualifying for the British Open, winning his first Challenge Tour title, and moving to 19th in the Race to Mallorca.

He won the Portuguese Open with 272 strokes, 16 strokes under par at Royal Óbidos, after rounds of 65, 68, 69, and 70, where he ranked second in the first 3 rounds. He was the 17th Englishman to win the tournament, but the first since Matt Wallace in 2017.

Over 250,000 euros was up for grabs as a prize, and Penge won 40,000 euros. The two runners-up each got 22,500 euros.

With 287 (-1), Ricardo Santos and Tomás Bessa were the best Portuguese players in the event. They were both ranked 47th. They each got a thousand euros. Bessa scored 63, 76, 76, and 72, while Santos scored 73, 69, 70, and 75.

“This was my second victory as a professional, but the first was in the third division, in England. Winning on the Challenge Tour is obviously my greatest achievement. It’s incredible. I don’t even know what to say, I haven’t even realized it yet”, said Marco Penge. “I have jumped from 84th to 19th in the rankings in the last five weeks. In golf, we are only one week away from turning an average year into a good year”.

Now, Penge is a rival to the Portuguese Ricardo Melo Gouveia, in the fight for the top 20 of the Race to Mallorca.

Open de Portugal 2023. Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos.

Open de Portugal will be decisive to the Road of Mallorca rankings

Open de Portugal will take place in Óbidos, Lisbon region, from September 14 to 17, and we bring you what you must know in order to be prepared for the drama at Royal Óbidos.

A Severiano Ballesteros’ masterpiece, the golf course at the beautiful Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort, is not to be missed. The Spanish designer made a difficult course that uses the natural settings and the hilly land to its advantage. On hole 3, players hit their ball into an island green with the Óbidos lagoon in the background. The 18th hole has a view of the back nine, the clubhouse, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Open de Portugal has been held at Royal Óbidos for four straight years, including this year’s edition of the tournament. In 2020, Garrick Higgo won the first Open de Portugal held at Royal Óbidos. He was followed by Marcel Schneider in 2021 and Pierre Pineau in 2022. Who will win this year?

There are only five tournaments left to see which player will move on to the DP World Tour. At the end of the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final at Club de Golf Alcanada, the best 20 players in the Road to Mallorca Rankings will secure the promotion.
