Montado 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 cork-oaks, 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). 57
