Golf do Estoril
Golf do Estoril is a championship course with
bags of history and fame. One of the oldest
golf courses in Portugal, Golf do Estoril offers
its visitors spectacular views over the Atlantic
Ocean. The course has been used on numerous
occasions for the Portuguese Open, as well as for international
amateur championships. It is a short but challenging course,
designed by Philip Mackenzie Ross, who made excellent use of
the surrounding pine-trees and eucalyptuses – which, coupled
with the uneven terrain, make the course more a test of accuracy
than of the ability to hit the ball long distances. The course is
popular with golfers, so the addition of a second 9-holes is an
additional benefit.
