Golf courses
Belas Course
The Belas Golf is a 18 holes. The architect William Roquemore designed this golf course in the middle of a valley that protects it from the wind. A departure of great precision is required on the hole n°9, to set the ball on the fairway while avoiding the ravine and the lake. The holes n°10, 11 and 15 are as difficult in their own way. A really good shot is needed for the hole 10, when the hole 11, because of the green, demands a precise approach.
Golf do Estoril
In 1929, Fausto de Figueiredo, games dealer at the Casino Estoril, built the Estoril Golf Club, which originally included 9 holes. The first architect was Jean Gassiat and the next version of 18 holes was designed in 1945 by Mackenzie Ross, one of the best architects of golf courses worldwide. It is considered by many players as one of the best golf course in Portugal.
Penha Longa House
Penha Longa Atlantic Golf is a golf course that can be considered unique when compared to most other Portuguese courses. It is in the middle of green areas of what was originally a very rich monastery of the XIVth. This 18 holes course is located on the wooded hills, which only enhances its beauty. The course offers interesting water hazards and some elevated greens and to make things more challenging, sometimes suffers the presence of strong winds. It has hosted the Portuguese Open as well as some international events of great importance.
Pestana Golf Beloura
Pestana Golf course was designed by American architect Rocky Roquemore. It’s the new golf course of the Estoril coast, extending over 60 hectares halfway between Cascais and Sintra. Built in a residential complex, it’s an 18 holes, very flat, which provides a nice game and little tiring. It offers beautiful views of the mountains Sintra. 40 000 trees and flowers have been planted, enhancing the beauty of this course. Lakes were scattered across the surface, which increases the difficulty of the game.
