Golf

West Cliffs

With the opening of the West Cliffs GC, the Praia D’El Rey Resort is putting itself on the map better than ever. The course, a design by Dye, takes you through a vast protected natural area that has been completely preserved. A special feature is that from every hole you will enjoy stunning sea views. Initial expectations are high. The clubhouse is a real eye-catcher. In fact, it is as if the course has always been there. That is how well it is integrated into the landscape.

Praia D’El Rey

Near the atmospheric fortified town of Obidos, the phenomenal links course Praia D’El Rey is set in a beautiful dune landscape. Wide, rolling fairways, fast greens, 13 holes with stunning ocean views and 5 holes through a beautiful pine forest surrounded by colorful shrubs, beautiful flowers and a breathtaking dune landscape. We will play this course twice. No excuse to break your Hcp!

Bom Sucesso

A technical and hilly design by Donald Steel with fast greens and many beautiful views. The 17th hole is an exciting par 5. Located at the highest point of the course, this hole winds downhill with the lagoon of Obidos in the background. The golf course is punchy because of the many doglegs, sloping fairways and undulating greens. Opening with a teebox from the roof is immediately spectacular.

Royal Obidos

Royal Obidos opened in 2012 and has rapidly proven to be a top course. It is a course designed by Seve Ballesteros and a true asset to the Silver Coast region. You have alternating views of the Atlantic Ocean and the lagoon of Obidos. You can best describe the course as a moorland course with wide fairways and rolling greens. The clubhouse is a trendy masterpiece with beautiful views.

Campo Real

This beautiful golf course is a challenging par 72 with 18 holes that traverses the beautiful landscape of the Serra do Socorro and Archeira protected area, in the Oeste region, nominated as one of the 100 most sustainable destinations in the world in 2015. The golf course is built on land formerly used by the Portuguese royal family as a hunting reserve. A pleasant course suitable for any player that meanders through the hills, valleys and vineyards that stretch to the horizon.

 

Attention: Please note that a minimum Hcp of 36 is required on all courses.
