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.

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.
