Golf Estoril
Golf Estoril, above the Atlantic, this is one of Portugal's oldest and most storied golf clubs. The original nine holes date to 1929, redesigned and expanded by the Scottish architect Philip Mackenzie Ross in 1936. For around twenty years it hosted the Portuguese Open, and for more than sixty it staged the Portuguese International Amateur Championship, drawing some of the game's biggest names to its fairways over the decades.
This is a course built for accuracy, not distance. Fairways run tight between eucalyptus, pine and mimosa, and the small, well-defended greens punish anything loose. The par-3 13th, Patiño's hole, doglegs sharply right to a raised green, while the par-3 16th, at 186 metres, is widely reckoned one of the best holes in Portugal. Book this if you want history and shot-making over sheer length.
Some development work is currently under way near the clubhouse, so expect a little construction alongside your round for now, but it hasn't dented what regulars keep coming back for: greens and fairways are consistently well kept, and the traditional clubhouse remains one of the most characterful in Portuguese golf. With Estoril's casino, beach and restaurants all a short walk away, this is the round to build a Lisbon coast day around. For golfers who want to walk fairways that have shaped a century of Portuguese golf, book Estoril.

Golf Estoril is a fabulous parkland course, quite tight in places requiring accurate driving and the greens were super quick this year offering quite a challenge. Parts of the course have a real feel of Augusta. We have been playing this course every year for 8 years and will be back again next year. Felipe and the whole team are very friendly and always make it a good day out.

I really enjoyed my round at Estoril Golf Club. The course has a great variety of holes, which keeps the round interesting from start to finish. There are some excellent risk-and-reward opportunities, and each hole seems to have its own character rather than feeling repetitive. The layout is enjoyable to play, the course was in good condition, and the setting adds to the experience. A thoroughly enjoyable round and one I would happily play again when visiting the area.
