Golf in Porto & North
The Porto & North areas of Portugal cover an expanse of land extending to 19.000 square miles with a population of aound 6 million people. Stretching from Costa Verde on the shores of the AtlanticOcean to the border castles that once protected the mountainous inland boundary with Spain, it's a largely unspoiled region that's well worth exploring.
Sixteen courses are located at fourteen different venues.
West Cliffs
Ranked as No.2 in Portugal
Located an hour's drive north of Lisbon on Portugal's spectacular Silver Coast, West Cliffs is
a Cynthia Dye design that first opened in the summer of 2017. Offering sweeping wiews of the Atlantic, Berlengas Islands and Óbidos Lagoon,
this dramatic seaside layout has been laid out within a massive 200-hectare property consisting of rolling sand dunes and coastal vegetation. "With the Atlantic visible from every hole, West Cliffs is the most natural golf course site imaginable"
Troia Golf
Ranked as No.3 in Portugal
Troia is located to the south of Lisbon a little farther down the coast, and you can reach the club via a lovely short ferry crossing from Setubal to the Peninsula of Troia.
Robert Trent Jones Senior designed the course and it opened for play in 1980 to a rightful fanfare of trumpets because Troia is magnificent, engaging and also highly underrated. Naturally Jones has utilised his trademark bold bunkering,raised greens and some doglegs, which sweep between pine trees.
Oitavos Dunes
Ranked as No.4 in Portugal
The golf course at Oitavos Dunes is a lovely mix of woodland and links-type holes that have been expertly laid to make the most of existing landscape.
Travelling west along the northern banks of the Tagus River from Lisbon and passing through the pleasant and lively seaside towns of Estoril and Cascais will soon bring us to the resort of Quinta da Marinha.
Praia D'El Rey
Ranked as No.8 in Portugal
Praia D'El Rey is a mix of holes-some in the mighty dunes, other among fragant pines- that are an assault to the senses. Wild and wonderful.
Penha Longa
Ranked as No.11 in Portugal
The Atlântico, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr, opened in 1992 and recieved such acclaim that it played host to the Pourtuguese Open in 1994
A couple of hours drive north from the golfing Mecca of the Algarve is the Lisboa e Vale de Tejo region of Portugal. Bordered in the east by the capitol city Lisbon, in the south by Tagus estuary and in est and north by the Atlantic
