Ritz Penha Longa

Lisbon

Lisbon is a superb region to play golf these days, with such a rich diversity in terms of culture, scenery, coastline and the amazing contrast in the golf courses available to play staying at one of our 4 selected golf resort hotels.

The region stretches from the renowned and popular coastline of Estoril & Cascais, which lies 30 miles west of Lisbon airport and city where there are some amazing golden sandy beaches and impressive seaside resorts and harbours,like at Cascais itself. Close to the hills of Sintra, where there is a rich wealth of old castles and historic monuments, in the midst of wonderful forest and mountain scenery and just 5 kms inland from the coast you will find the great golf courses of Penha Longa, Oitavos Dunes and Quinta da Marinha. The two five star resorts are exceptional and at Penha Longa you have one of Europe’s finest hotels run by Ritz Carlton, back to its very best after its owners re-invested heavily into refurbishing the resort and now the golf course.

Heading north away from Lisbon, you will find the fabulous unspoilt scenery of towns like Obidos and Peniche which have such a wealth of culture and history and the incredible natural beauty of the coastline of Praia del Rey and the 600 hectares of natural dunes land on the Atlantic Ocean and there the great Marriott Praia del Rey Golf Resort, with its beachfront location and links course. Not far away is the revamped and extremely impressive Golden Eagle Golf Club, which will soon have its own hotel and resort style feel and the very new Donald Steel design Bom Successo.

A final mention of the great Campo Real Golf Resort, which lies in the middle of the triangle of all the best courses – 30 minutes from Praia del Rey, 40 minutes from Golden Eagle, 50 minutes from Oitavos Dunes and Penha Longa, but with its own challenging hillside classic and scenic course on site, designed by Donald Steel, on site.

Great golf courses and significant worldwide hotel brand names – Westin, Marriott and Ritz Carlton to guarantee you an excellent level of quality and service. With the large increase in flight schedules into Lisbon from UK airports and most of our hotels offering great free golf packages the time has never been better to visit Lisbon as a golf destination.
