Ribagolf II
Aldeia dos Capuchos
Montado
Idyllically situated close to Lisbon downtown, yet situated in
a quiet and beautiful region, Aldeia dos Capuchos offers you
the best of both worlds. Declared by the Portuguese State as a
project of national interest, this Resort received the Architecture
Council Award for its excellence. With ten hectares of green
areas, Aldeia dos Capuchos is the magical place to enhance your
senses. With 1402m of total length, the golf course of Aldeia dos
Capuchos is an excellent course for a quick game. With the sea
as background, the golf course allows you to play wonderfully
trough 9 holes (7 par-3’s and 2 par 4’s) of beautiful design. Small
undulations, a big lake and several bunkers will certainly sharpen
up your game.
Host to many professional tournament from the European
Challenge Tour, Montado has received praise from the best
players in Europe. Set in flat terrain, the Montado has been built
to the south of Setúbal in a landscape planted with old corkoaks, young olive-trees, chestnuts and pines, whilst all around
it wind a series of creeks and natural lakes. A feature hole at
Montado is the scenic thirteenth, a par 4 that affords a fine view
of Palmela castle and provides an excellent opportunity for a
birdie. Surrounded by the famous muscatel vineyards that were
first planted here more than a century ago, the Montado course
has already hosted international tournaments, such as the Axa
Challenge Tour and the Grand Final of the European Challenge
Tour (1997). This course is also located close the many famous
beaches that spread along the Tróia peninsula.
Ribagolfe II
Santo Estêvão
A shorter test than its sibling but still measuring more than 6,800
yards, Ribagolfe II is a great compliment to Ribagolfe I. Blessed
with the same indigenous cork oak canvass, the course designers
have crafted a more forgiving but equally appealing golf course
with wider fairways and landing areas. The huge, moderately
contoured greens, however, provide a stiff test if you’re to score
well.
