The setting of the course can be considered as unique in comparison with most other courses in Portugal. Located in the parklands of what was originally a very wealthy 14th Century Monastery that has been very carefully restored. No expense appears to have been spared in creating this course and its surroundings that includes a residential development.|The topographical layout of the 18 holes is over gently wooded hills which adds to its overall beauty. The course offers interesting water hazards, some elevated greens and added to this is the challenge of the strong winds that some times occur. This course has to be played with respect for its architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. who has created a golf course that demands skill from the most experienced golfers. The course has hosted the Portuguese Open in 1994, 1995 and 2010 and several important international events.

Challenging, majestic and beautiful layout in the mountains. Brilliant design but in need of some TLC. The greens were mottled and not a patch on Aroeira or Quita do Peru. They rely on robots to cut the fairways - which were in excellent Condition but the bunkers looked like they hadn’t been raked for days and their edges unstrimmed for weeks. Not a greenkeeper in sight all day and it shows. Friendly reception. I’d like to go back when there wasn’t a 60kph wind blowing!

Informed when we got there that greens had contracted a disease and they were right, they were in poor condition, no reduction or credit was offered.

Very well designed golf course with some great holes. Condition of the course wasn’t at the standard you might expect from a quality course. Fairways, tee boxes and rough were average at best.

Course condition after rain very poor, we booked a buggy in advance, but they don't tell us that we have to stay on the path way all the time. So we should better walk an use a electric trolley. But nobody talked to us.

Greens were superb, but fairways muddy and a bit dissapointing. Beautiful layout.

The condition of the golfcourse was very poor. Added to the excessive prices of the catering there, this was a disappointing experience for us.
Noise from the adjacent circuit all day long doesn’t really help either.

Great course in the hills around Sintra with fantastic views. Tee boxes and fairways were ok, but the greens weren't in a good shape because of a lot of bald spots. The quality of the bunkers was very volatile but we had the impression they were in reconstructing phase. Vere friendly staff and afterwards a great diner at the LAB-restaurant by Sergio Arola.

The course has a fabulous layout , the greens were still poor for putting on 10 days after treatment and that impacted everyone more than initially thought

Maintenance was being carried out on the greens which we only found out about on arrival so a bit disappointing to play a good course in this condition.
