Praia Del Rey Golf Course
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.

Scenic golf course with stunning views playing alongside the Atlantic Ocean on the back 9 holes.
Greens putted fairly and in very good condition.

Another fantastic well organised golf holiday from start to finish. Airport transfers on time, great friendly drivers. Hotel is the best I've stayed in for golf holidays, friendly helpful staff, everything is so clean and tidy. Great breakfast selection. The three golf courses we played are so good and well organised, if these courses were on the Algarve I'm sure they'd be charging so much more to play. Praia del Rey is the best value for a golf holiday. Thank you Tee Times, the golfers I take cannot believe how well organised everything is.

It is always a pleasure playing Praia Del Rey. Some spectacular holes with wonderful views of the ocean. September is a busy time of year here for golf, but despite this by starting at the 10th we managed to get round in around 4 hours. My 2 guests, playing here for the first time agree with me that this was the best of the 4 courses we played in the area.

Course in great condition and friendly staff. However, too many golfers on the back nine so it was a four and half hour round for a 3 ball teeing off at 8.12am!
