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.
