The setting of the course can be considered as unique in comparison with most other courses in Portugal. Located in the parklands of what was originally a very wealthy 14th Century Monastery that has been very carefully restored. No expense appears to have been spared in creating this course and its surroundings that includes a residential development.|The topographical layout of the 18 holes is over gently wooded hills which adds to its overall beauty. The course offers interesting water hazards, some elevated greens and added to this is the challenge of the strong winds that some times occur. This course has to be played with respect for its architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. who has created a golf course that demands skill from the most experienced golfers. The course has hosted the Portuguese Open in 1994, 1995 and 2010 and several important international events. (...)
Oitavos Dunes Golf Course, par 71, designed by the renowned Arthur Hills, opened in 2001. It is located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, creating stunning mountain and ocean views. Arthur Hills maintained the natural characteristics of the land in this clever design and the golf course name reflects its natural sand dunes. Oitavos Dunes is truely a great golf course. There are a few trees, dunes and bunkers to avoid. Oitavos Dunes was the first golf course in Europe to receive the Audobon Gold Certificate, the top environmental certification. Oitavos Golf course is a mixture of parkland and links in some parts with rolling fairways. The greens are large and some have an unusual roll to them due to the grain line. Oitavos Dunes has an excellent practice area with two putting greens, short game facility and driving range. The golf course is certainly one of the best in mainland Europe and set to be one of the best in the world. (...)
Quinta da Marinha was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr and opened in 1984, laid out across 110 hectares of pine estate on the Estoril coast near Cascais, about 25 kilometres from Lisbon. The course predates the resort hotel that later grew up around it by a decade and a half, and it still carries the hallmarks of a genuine Trent Jones design.
Elevated tees and greens, generous bunkering, and narrow driving corridors reward accuracy over power throughout. The par-four 3rd, sloping down to the sea, was for years the picture used to promote golf in Portugal abroad. The 4th plays over a ravine to a demanding green, the 13th crosses a lake to a well-bunkered target, and the round closes at the 18th with two lakes guarding the way home. The course has hosted the Ladies Masters, the PGA Seniors Tour Championship, and a Challenge Tour event.
Facilities include a driving range, golf academy, resident professionals, and a clubhouse restaurant and snack bar. Book Quinta da Marinha through Tee Times, and pair it with neighbouring Oitavos Dunes for two very different rounds on the same stretch of coast. (...)
