Royal Obidos Golf Course
Above the lagoon at Óbidos, on Portugal's Silver Coast, Royal Óbidos was one of the last courses Seve Ballesteros ever designed, completed in 2012 after his death the year before. It's since become one of the region's genuine championship tests, hosting the Open de Portugal, one of the oldest events on the European tour, since 2020.
Water is the defining feature here. It comes into play on the majority of holes, working through an interconnected system of lakes and streams rather than sitting as an afterthought. The par-3 3rd, with its island green, is the signature hole and among the most photographed in Portugal, while the 6th plays a short, deceptively tricky carry across the lagoon that swallows more balls than its length suggests it should. The back nine opens out toward the Atlantic, with genuine elevation change between the 1st green and 2nd tee, so bring a buggy if you want to enjoy the climb rather than survive it.
Conditioning here is generally excellent, though heavy winter rain can soften the fairways, so check ahead if you're visiting in the wetter months. The clubhouse, Golf Academy and Legend Restaurant round out a proper resort experience. If you only play one Seve Ballesteros course on the Silver Coast, book this one: it's the toughest test in the area, and it plays exactly the way he wanted it to.

Un campo de primer nivel. Difícil por longitud y rapidez de greenes. En un estado excepcional.

Der Platz von Royal Obidos ist anspruchsvoll aber sehr schön. Dar Platz ist in einem sehr guten Zustand, ich kann nichts Negatives berichten.

Royal Obidos was in excellent condition on our return here. Probably the toughest in the area with water in play at a number of holes. Suggest taking a buggy unless you are fit. Beautiful scenery and many interesting holes with the pick of the bunch the 2nd that sweeps down from high and the fairway follows the water round for what seems a mile!
