The architect responsible for West Cliffs was William (Rocky) Roquemore, and his particular mark is evident in the fairly small bunkers which are strategically placed along the fairways up to the greens.
The par three 17th is the signature hole, with a long bunker on the left and a lake on the right, requiring a very precise tee shot to complete your round safely!

Created over 84 hectares of natural, sandy terrain the par-71 course, is a true links, unique in Portugal, expertly designed and manicured to provide a world-class golfing experience.

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.
Venue: European Challenge Tour - Estoril Challenge
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!
