Located 24 kms west to Lisbon and overlooking
Estoril, about 2 kms to the north, this course has a
superb panoramic view from the course towards the sea,
where villas nestle in woodlands, while towards the hills
of Sintra the view is unlimited. The Estoril Golf is one of the
most traditional and classic clubs in Portugal and has
been host to the Portuguese Open. The course nestles into
the foothills of Sintra and was designed by Mckenzie Ross
of Turnberry, and requires careful positioning of the
ball as the green undulating fairways are bordered by
pines, fragant mimosa and thick vegetation. The velvet
like greens are well protected by deep bunkers. There are
two courses, one 18 hole 69 par, and 5238 metres long,
which although being not easy is not too frustrating, and
the second 2350 metres long, with 9 holes and par 34.
These golf courses are really a delight to the eye and a
great test for golfers. Driving range, putting green,
lessons by Pros and availability of caddies all year
round are some of the facilities offered to the player.
