Ribagolfe Lakes
Once described as the ‘ Valderrama of Portugal ’, Ribagolfe Lakes ( formerly Ribagolfe I ) provides a superb test of golf in a rural and natural setting only 30 minutes from Lisbon . The experience is often likened to millionaire ’ s golf , with not a house to be seen and each hole sheltered from the view of another . It guarantees you are surrounded by nothing but nature . Some fairways offer narrow corridors through the beautiful cork oak forest , placing emphasis on accuracy over power , while the oversized greens are typically well guarded by large bunkers . Ribagolfe
Lakes measures 7,370 yards from the back tees and makes full use of the sweeping undulations of the landscape , providing many spectacular golf holes across valleys and around lakes . In fact , three of the par-5s bring water into play . Designed as a tournament venue it has hosted the first stage of the European Tour Qualifying School since 2009 .
