Lisbon Golf Courses - The Oitavos

Located in Cascais just 1km from Quinta da Marinha Hotel, close to the Guincho beach and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Oitavos is one course not to be missed on the Costa Lisboa.

Oitavos gives an old Scottish links feel with nine out and nine back layout. The early holes are in a wooded area then the course opens up a little and its style becomes more that of a traditional links. The quality of the layout is immediately apparent.

The course hosted the PGA European Tour Portuguese Open in 2005 with Paul Broadhurst lifting the trophy.

The famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the renowned Atlantic course at Penha Longa which is as much a physical challenge because of the landscape, as it is pleasing on the eye, for the same reason.

The land is also steeped in history, with a Palace, a church and the Fountain of Tears all situated on the estate formerly owned by the Count of Penha Longa. This is no ordinary track!

Situated in one of the most pleasant areas of the Portuguese coastline, between Cascais and Guincho, Quinta da Marinha is one of the leading courses in Portugal, hosting the European Tour’s Estoril Open in 2002.

The 13th hole is particularly memorable - a 390-metre par four, with the Atlantic providing the backdrop to the green.
