Praia D'El Rey opened on the Silver Coast in June 1997, designed by American architect Cabell B. Robinson on a site he himself said gave him, ready-made, the landscape architects usually have to invent. An hour northwest of Lisbon, near the medieval walls of Óbidos, the course sits within a resort built around pine forest and open dune land running down to the Atlantic.
The front nine winds inland through the pines before the back nine turns hard for the coast. Holes 10 and 11 build the anticipation, the tough uphill 11th offering no bail-out either side of the green, before the course delivers its reward: four consecutive holes, 12 through 15, played out among the dunes with the Atlantic and the Berlengas Islands in view throughout. Golf World called it ''wild and wonderful'', and eighty-seven bunkers make sure the wildness is felt as much as seen. Guest feedback over the past two years is unusually consistent on one point: the greens and fairways are kept in excellent shape.
Facilities include a driving range, golf academy, resident professionals and a clubhouse restaurant. Pair it with neighbouring West Cliffs for one of the strongest two-course stops on Portugal's Silver Coast, and book both through Tee Times for the best combined rate.

Great course in good shape. Only the speed of the greens was a bit varying from the firat four greens to the rest.

Praia Del Ray comes out top as it is suits our level of golf. Although always busy it is In excellent condition with around half the holes having outstanding views of the ocean. Played here a few times now and can't wait to return again.
