Praia D'El Rey Golf & Beach Resort
|
|
|
Praia D'El Rey is arguably the most stunning golf course in Europe. It’s set among extensive pine forests and undulating dunes, with spectacular views over the Atlantic and the Berlenga Islands beyond. The Resort is located close to the medieval town of Óbidos on Portugal's unspoilt west coast and within less than one hours drive from Lisbon International Airport.

Belas Clube de Campo
|
|
|
Belas is a Championship Golf Course. The layout is extraordinary, with several fairways and greens set in deep valleys, and it affords unforgettable panoramic scenery to golfers and visitors. With its excellent variety of holes, the course is a pleasure to play, whatever one’s handicap level. It demands both skill and tactical play, and is acknowledged both locally and internationally as one of Portugal’s best constructed layouts.

Quinta do Lago
|
|
|
The course above is the south course at Quinta do Lago used eight times for the "Portuguese Open". This course favours the long hitter, but requires the player to pick a particular route to score well. Although both anti-clockwise loops, the first nine favours a draw, while the second favours a fade from the tee.
