Where to Play
Estela
It ’ s a simple fact that Irish golfers love a quality links course . At Estela Golf Course , you won ’ t be disappointed . Excluding the use of Bermuda grass , this is a course that ranks as high as the best links courses in Ireland . Built in 1988 , this par-72 Championship course is located at only 20 minutes from Porto ’ s international airport and located in the lively summer resort of Povoa de Varzim . Owing to its exposed sandy terrain across 3 kilometres , punishing rough , influencing trade winds and quick greens , players that manage to hit their handicap at Estela should feel very pleased .

Oporto
Porto ’ s links course portfolio is boosted by a genuine links course with deeply rooted values and traditions . Inaugurated in 1890 , this par-71 course plays to a professional length of 5640 metres . This would be slightly shorter than modern day courses , but what ’ s lost in length on this old style course , is made up on narrow and undulating fairways , with strong northerly winds . The course is located 17 kilometres south of Porto , close to the wonderful beaches of Espinho . As part of the “ Espinho Golf Week ”, Oporto Golf Club has been hosting a competition called the “ Skeffington Cup ” since 1891 without any intermission .
