Royal Óbidos
Golden Eagle
Located in the historic town of Óbidos, just a short 45km drive
North of Lisbon, is the brand new golf resort of Royal Óbidos
Spa & Golf Resort. The opening of this new resort was much
anticipated, with 336 acres of stunning natural landscape available
overlooking the lagoon (Lagoa de Óbidos).
Designed by American course designer Rocky Roquemore, this is
a beautifully laid out golf championship course covers a vast area
of land, with rolling hills and pine trees as its features. The clever
use of over eighty bunkers and water features adds difficulty to
this course, while adding a beauty and charm at the same time.
Designed by the legendary Seve Ballesteros, Royal Óbidos Spa
& Golf Resort covers 7100 yards of Championship standard golf,
which is sure to present a good challenge for all levels of golfer.
The feature hole of the front nine is the 5th, an exciting 520m par
5, with a final approach into a large undulating green surrounded
on three sides by water.
After your game you will find a welcoming clubhouse and
restaurant that serves traditional meals with excellent wines,
most of which are produced on the property. In the late summer
evenings groups of golden eagles regularly soar high in the sky,
reminding golfers that this course truly is at one with nature.

Located on the Silver Coast, this new Donald Steel course opened
for play in September 2008. It is a very good test of golf, at 6,228
metres in length. This 18-hole championship golf course stretches
along the length of the resort binding, the Hotel & SPA and the
other leisure facilities. The par-72 golf course has undulating
fairway on the back nine. The greens can be a little undulating
too in parts, but the condition is always maintained so players do
have a fair chance of a good score. The bunkers have a rugged and
intimidating look, forcing golfers to keep away from them. The
course benefits from natural beauty and has panoramic views to
keep you company for the round.
