The following Hole No.4, a Par 3, requires a very precise shot for the ball to cross a cliff and reach a wide but not very deep green.For the most, the fairways face inland with the beautiful outline of the Sintra mountain range forming their background. Many bunkers and a number of lakes at Quinta da Marinha Golf Course make the player's task even more difficult. Hole No.18, for instance, has a green entirely surrounded by water.

CLUBE DE GOLF DO ESTORIL

Estoril golf course has existed since 1929 in its first nine-hole version and was commissioned by Fausto Figueiredo, holder of the game award at the Casino do Estoril. Its first architect was Jean Gassiat and the 18-hole course that followed was designed in 1945 by Mackenzie Ross, one of the best architects of golf courses in the world. Subsequently, the field was modified to allow the construction of a part of the Lisbon / Estoril motorway, a design that belonged to the French architect Jean Jean. In this transformation, hole number 9 disappeared, there was a change of the course of the hole number 13 - the famous hole of the Patiño-? that now has a dogleg to the right, being the second shot thrown of the place where the old green was situated; It is now in a higher position. With the disappearance of hole number 9 it was necessary to build another hole, which is now the 13th, a par 3 of 160 meters. Finally, hole number 16 had its green redesigned, but still being a par 3 of 186 meters, less 15 meters, so that the former, considered by many players as one of the best holes of Portuguese golf courses. The pair is 69 (34 35), a total of 5313 meters. Internally, the Estoril golf course has another nine-hole course normally used by beginners, the Blue Course.

PENHA LONGA ATLANTIC

The 18-hole Atlantic Championship course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. opened in 1992 and hosted the Portuguese Open two years later.
Considered one of the 30 best golf courses in Europe, its location in Sintra helps, but being nestled in the mountains makes all the difference. According to experts, a golf course should be built amid nature. The Penha Longa Atlantic Championship couldn’t be more in line with this philosophy. The course features excellent shot sequencing, and the views are magnificent, especially of the coastal towns of Cascais and Estoril and the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

PESTANA BELOURA

The verdant foothills of the Sintra Mountains offer a breathtaking backdrop for the Pestana Beloura Golf Course. Here the famous American golf course architect Rocky Roquemore has conceived a course that will stretch both your imagination and ability yet provide an enjoyable challenge to golfers of all levels. Over 40,000 eucalyptus, oak, pine, magnolia, palm and other exotic trees and plants have been planted on this gently undulating Par 72, 18 hole course that measures 5,573 metres from the Men´s Tees and 5,173 from the Women?s Tees. Water comes into play on many of the holes as they meander between the various lakes and streams that border the Fairways. The course is irrigated automatically from its own water supplies, guaranteeing crisp lies on lush tifton 419 fairways and true, holding greens from a green sward of creeping bents. Signature holes are the 7th and 17th holes. On the 7th, there is a lake that eats into the fairway so it is necessary to make the carry and then play a strategic shot short of the stream crossing the fairway 100 meters from the green. The green is well protected both left and right by bunkers, plus it slopes sufficiently from back to front to test your birdie putt. The shot from the 17th Tee demands accuracy to find the fairway that threads its way between the lake on the left and out of bounds on the right. Whilst accuracy is at a premium, the Tee shot should be of sufficient length to enable the putting surface to be reached with a probing long iron. The course is complimented by excellent practice facilities and qualified teachers. The magnificent clubhouse incorporates the golf shop from which rental and other golf equipment is available.

BELAS CLUBE DE CAMPO

Belas Clube de Campo is an 18 hole course planned with great international and national tournaments in mind. The architect responsible 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. Holes 2, 3 and 5 are a good example of Roquemore style. He designed the course totally in accordance with the plans of Charles Franzman, where the houses are built on top of the hills, overlooking a golf course winding in and out of the valleys below, thus benefitting from a certain protection from the wind. A very precise tee off shot is required on hole 9, in order to place the ball in a position whereby the second shot can reach the green, avoiding the ravine and the lake on the right hand side. Holes 10,11 and 15 are all difficult in their own way. A good tee shot is required for hole 10, whereas hole 11, because of the green which has two levels, requires a skilfull approach shot. The final shot for hole 15, a par 5, should be a good high shot to reach the green and avoid the bunkers surrounding it. The green on the 17th hole, a par 3, has a long bunker on the left and a lake on the right, consequently a very precise tee shot is necessary. Finally, hole 18, a par 4, has difficult rough all along the fairway and access to the green is complicated because of the bunkers on the left and the lake on the right.
