The Estoril Golf Course is located in one of Europe's oldest established tourist resorts. West of Lisbon and overlooking the Atlantic, the Estoril Coast has
a mild climate, so that you can enjoy your favourite sport all year round.
Overlooking Estoril and the sea, the 5,262 metre-long course is set amongst eucalyptus, pine and mimosa trees, giving it a uniquely colourful touch.
A masterpiece of the famous golf course designer Mackenzie Ross, this course demands excellent tactics. The visually stunning par 3 holes,
although they vary in length, all pose particular challenges.
The Estoril Golf Club has been here since 1945. Two of the most important tournaments in the Portuguese golfing calendar have been held frequently on this course: the Portuguese Open 20 times and
the International Amateur Championship 62 times.
The long list of famous golfers who have played Estoril includes José M. Canizares, Ramon Sota, S. Ballesteros, Afonso Angelini, Neil Coles, Gene Sarazen, Mickey Wright, Max Faulkner, Peter
Allis and Bernard Gallacher.
The splendid clubhouse has a pro shop, a bar, changing rooms, a swimming pool and a restaurant, with a long veranda and a superb view, where a variety of tasty Portuguese dishes is served.
The owners, Estoril Plage S.A., manage both the course and the Estoril Palácio Hotel. Guests of the hotel are offered special terms at the Golf Course.
The caddies at the Estoril Golf Course are among the most experienced at any golf course, and are always available to advise on the most difficult shots.
