Aldeia dos Capuchos

Quinta do Peru

With the Arrábida mountains as its backdrop , the Quinta do Peru golf course offers amateurs a pleasant game , whilst also presenting a challenge for professionals . The course ’ s recognised quality has led to the hosting of several events , including the Grande Final of the UAP Challenge Tour , in 1995 and 1996 . The front nine can be quite tricky , as many trees and areas of wild flowers need to be avoided . A feature hole is the 200-yard , par-3 8th which requires a precise shot over water to an undulating green . Aside from the great course , don ’ t forget to enjoy a drive or a walk through the beautiful Serra da Arrábida .
