Montado opened in 1992, designed by Portuguese architect Duarte Sottomayor, then fully redesigned in 2005 by Jorge Santana da Silva before reopening the following year. It sits among muscatel vineyards more than a century old, part of the historic Palmela and Setúbal wine country, about an hour south of Lisbon.
The course is flat and easy to walk, laid out beneath cork oak, olive, chestnut and pine, with creeks and small lakes threading through play. The par-4 13th is the course's quiet showpiece, offering a clear view of Palmela Castle and a genuine chance at a birdie. The round closes with its best-known hole, a par-3 18th played to a green set on its own island. Recent visitors report the course in the best condition they can remember.
Facilities include a driving range, resident golf professionals, and a clubhouse restaurant and snack bar. Montado offers a quieter, better-value alternative to the busier Algarve courses. Book it through Tee Times for an unhurried round without the queues.

We have been going for many years, best it’s ever been, the fairways and greens are great. It’s quite not busy like the Algarve, reasonably price, value for money.

Montado had a lot of torks, thats fun to see. The course is friendly, wide fairways and in good conditions. Not spectaculair but fun. The last hole (par 3 island green) is a stunner. Apart from the course, the rest of the surroundings (hotel/clubhouse?/etc) are unused an deteriorated, almost look like a call of duty map or abandoned Jurassic Park. We got told there's an investor to get it nice again but that can take a couple years.
