Très beau parcours. Avec des fairways et rough très bien entretenus.
Le prix du buggy est sur fait.

Very nice course. Perfect. Only a pity that restaurant/bar was closed due to private party. They did not tell upfront. And the 19th hole was our final destination for the long weekend with our own ceremony awards etc. We had to move this to our accomodation. So course a 8.

Course is very nice.
Staff not as pleasant and helpful as others we experienced for years in Portugal.

A must play. Extraordinary course outlay with plenty of challenges. Fairways and greens are in excellent condition and the ball runs true on the putting surface. Plenty of fluffy sand traps (dunes) strategically situated.
Will play it again

This received the most applause in part because the winds all week were very strong and we did not think were would be able to play! However the course this time was sheltered so we had a great last game. Greens were medium fast and true. Fairways like walking on a mattress, very easy on the knees. Club house looked and felt very empty - literally only a couple of staff manning the club so not very inviting to stay after the round. So we didn't! Second time I have played and enjoyed the experience but still struggle to understand some of the planning permissions given for properties on the course which do not seem in keeping!

Nice links course and excellent training areas. Poor service. Cart price inadequately high.

Golf Buggys are too expensive. Course is affected by high winds

Nice course. Plenty of room on some holes for "wide drives". Wind can make the game interesting. Quality of greens varied a bit, maybe due to the early season. Definitely will go again. Beautiful views.

Lovely course, condition of fairways greens and tees excellent, you can putt from the fairways, like carpets. Lovely views

We played 5 courses in the Cascais region and this was planned to be our signature course.
It was more than double the price of others we played but unfortunately it was a massive let down.
Whoever rated this course as being one of the top courses in Portugal was way off the mark.
The condition was moderate at best, the cart paths were very poor and the layout was terrible - several holes together in a big open field.
Save your money and play Belas, Estoril or Penha Longa Championship course - it will cost you half the money and you will have a much more pleasuresble pleasurable experience.

In my opinion a very average course ,and certainly far from the best in Portugal. Unbelievably the bar and restaurant was closed when we finished our round at 5.30! Certainly not value for money.

I just finished my round in Oitavos Dunes and it was quite an enjoyable experience. Nice design and friendly staff. However, there was a lot of GUR/areas that were out of play due to maintenance. There were more than 6 tee boxes where there were no tees laid out. Usually when there is this level of work on a course, the staff will inform you in advance and there will be a reduced green fee. This was not the case today which was a surprising and disappointing.

Greens slow, maintenance average, driving range poor, why charge for driving range? Should be prepared and inclusive at these rates

Golf course is nice and well laid out. Some of the holes are very interesting as well as challenging. The course is also reasonably in good repair. But very poor signage around the golf course. At places we were struggling to find the next tee.

Not good, the golf course Oitavos was under maintenance, greens in bad conditions and no body informed about that. I would have gone to another golf course if I knew that!!
Thierry Courbois

Nice golf course with good maintenance
Small disappointment as no water is provided at the start nor on the course tees
For a quite hot country it should be better

Fantastique parcours avec des points de vue magnifiques sur l’océan.
En revanche il faudrait indiquer lors de la réservation que les Greens sont carottés !!!!
Cela enlève beaucoup de plaisir et rends le Green Fee très cher
Thomas Schmidt

Unfortunately quite some course maintenance works going on at the moment which does not justify a greenfee of Euro 95 - this on top of sanded greens - all in all course layout challenging and still a gem / why are there cigarette stubs all over the place - I have no problems with people smoking but please discard your stubs in the trash container.

80% of the greens coverd in sand. Not ok for full green fee. The Course is great. Shame with the sand on so many greens
Sylvia M. Schena
2019-07-13
Due to maintenance the course was in very bad condition. Several greens completely sandy, blocked by greenkeepers and their carts/lorries. They didn't move or stopped working at all. We had to play over the carts and around the greenkeepers. One green didn't even have a flag at all. The signs are miserable or not existing at all, the toilets couldn't be found either (3 toilets?? But problably blocked by the maintenance cars). No water to clean the balls. No reduction for the green fee, but 58euros for a buggy, no bottle of water included. We definitely will not come back!!

One issue on a lovely golf course - the cost of a buggy at €58 is excessive and a rip off

Cas mpo en excelentes condiciones. Pero no justifica el precio excesivo por el mismo. Como la casa Club que es un bar con baños.. no está a la altura del precio que piden por jugar

I spent a great afternoon at this course. The personnel is very polite. I finished early and they let me wait at the bar even though the office was closed already. I even got a coke zero for free. The faciltity is great as are the people!

The club was very quiet, facilities are very basic for the price. We had to purchase a course guide in addition. For the cost there was too much sand on the greens

Nice course! The greens are great to. Nice views over the ocean. With a little seawind this becomes a difficult golfcourse.

Beautiful course. Loved playing it. Service was good. But when I arrived, I was told there were many golfers and no buggies were available. The gentleman I was playing with and I are both in our 60's, and had to walk the course. When we were done, there were golf carts sitting unused. Very frustrating. I would not have played the course if I knew I had to walk.

Golf realisé le 12/07/18 : bon accueil - fairways brulé par le soleil - greens carottés peu de jours avant, du coup très déçu (le site pourrait l’annoncer) - GF, jeton de practice, chariot et buggy très cher pour ce type de parcours - très belle vue sur l’atlantique

Très beau parcours de type links situé dans une station balnéaire (Cascais).
Le tracé est intéressant, très difficile quand le vent se lève. J'ai trouvé le retour plus facile que l'aller.
Sur certains trous, on aperçoit l'océan avec des départs très surélevés. Le parcours se situe principalement autour de complexes immobiliers (ex: villas, hôtels de luxe).
La particularité du parcours est qu'il n'y a peu ou très peu de roughs, il faut obligatoirement être sur le fairway car votre balle peut être mal placée dans les zones dites plus "sauvages".
Concernant l'entretien, je trouve que les fairways sont parfois secs à certains endroits du parcours. Les greens venaient d'être sablés donc très lents.
Je m'attendais à mieux sachant que le parcours est classé dans les meilleurs golfs du monde d'après un journal de golf britannique !

Terrific golf course, helpful staff who moved our tee forward to earlier that morning so that we could play as a 2 ball and not be held up several groups of 3 and 4 balls due to play before us.

Mark Richard Thomson
2016-05-25
Very welcoming club, and again a great golf course with fantastic facilities. I felt they went a little further to make you welcome by providing a complimentary golf shoe bag. These little things make a difference, and again the course was in great condition, and in a great location on the coast.

golf course was outstanding and very difficult. Kitchen service very slow and wait staff were not alert to slow kitchen and were slow delivering drinks but staff was polite. Eventually, entire meal and drinks were provided at no charge due to these issues.

*Undulated - Quick greens and surprising slopes
*Mix - Some parts of the course have the links feeling
