One of Seve Ballesteros's final designs, finished after his death in 2011, Royal Óbidos has gone on to host the Open de Portugal above the lagoon at Óbidos. Water comes into play on the majority of holes, headlined by the par-3 3rd island green, and this is widely reckoned the toughest test on the Silver Coast. ...
Donald Steel's second Aroeira design, freshly renovated through 2025 to mark its 25th anniversary, with large greens, Scottish-style pot bunkers and five lakes shaping a genuinely different test to its sister course next door. Facilities are still temporary while a new hotel is built, but the golf itself is already excellent, and the two courses together make for the complete PGA Aroeira Lisboa trip. ...
The Wentworth of Lisbon, a design through protected pine forest that's twice hosted the Portuguese Open and is now coming back stronger after rebuilt fairways and bunkers. Book it now to catch the course as it returns to its best form, and pair it with its sister course next door for a complete Lisbon golf trip. ...
Sergio García's first full solo design, a Valderrama-inspired test of precision through 365 hectares of pine forest near Comporta. The clubhouse and driving range are still being finished, but the course itself is already playing in genuinely strong condition, making now the moment to book it before word gets out. ...
A Donald Steel design on the edge of the Óbidos Lagoon, splitting into a level front nine and a genuinely dramatic back nine that peaks at the par-5 17th. It's matured well in recent seasons and comes in below its pricier Óbidos neighbours, a smart-value round to add to a Silver Coast golf trip. ...
A Donald Steel design carved through royal hunting grounds near Turcifal, tested twice by the Ladies European Tour and priced well below its Lisbon-region neighbours. This is the one to book if you want a proper test of golf without the premium price tag. ...
A Rocky Roquemore design set against the Serra da Arrábida, the first course built in Azeitão, with fast, consistently well-rated greens and a water-guarded par-three 16th as its signature test. Book this one paired with nearby PGA Aroeira for one of the strongest golf days south of the Tagus. ...
Portugal's top-rated course, an Arthur Hills design carved through pine forest and wind-sculpted dunes within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, with Atlantic views on every hole and a genuine links character rare in mainland Europe. Twice a host of the Portuguese Open and consistently excellent underfoot whatever the weather, this is the one to book if you want the best round in the country, buggy costs and all. ...
A Robert Trent Jones Jr design set in the wooded hills above Lisbon, built beside a 14th-century monastery and tested three times by the Portuguese Open. This is the one to book if you want championship golf with genuine history behind it, away from the coastal courses everyone else plays. ...
David McLay Kidd's first mainland European design, opened in 2023 and already named World's Best Golf Course and ranked inside Continental Europe's Top 10. This is the one to book if you want the standout round of your Portugal trip, ideally paired with sister course Torre for the full Terras da Comporta experience. ...
A Rocky Roquemore design threading through the Carregueira hills, with small strategic bunkers, a lake-guarded closing hole, and views back over the Sintra mountains. Book this one if you want a proper championship test close to Lisbon airport, easily paired with Lisbon Sports Club or Penha Longa for a fuller break. ...
One of Portugal's oldest clubs, redesigned by Philip Mackenzie Ross in 1936 and a two-decade host of the Portuguese Open, with narrow, tree-lined fairways that reward accuracy over power. The par-3 16th alone is worth the trip, and with Estoril's casino, beach and restaurants a short walk from the clubhouse, this is the round to anchor a full day on the coast. ...
