When in golf lingo you mention "Portugal" everyone almost immediately assumes that the word "Algarve" is the next in line, but when speaking about golf in the country is not all about the Algarve, as a curiosity the oldest golf course in Portugal (the Oporto Golf Club) founded in 1890 is not in the Algarve. Over the past decade Lisbon has emerged as a Golf destination and became an excellent choice if anyone is planning a change of scenario on their next golf holidays avoiding the busy fairways of the Algarve or even Costa Del Sol in Spain, Lisbon may as well be the next place to stay. The region offers at least ten top class golf courses and the choice of evening entertainment rivals anywhere in Europe.
An ancient city full of history and cultural traditions Lisbon is known by its magnificent palaces, monuments, churches and museums, bordered by one of Europe's widest rivers, the Tejo (Tagus); the city spreads across the slopes of seven hills and down to the ocean. With a mildest climate the region is blessed with a cool Atlantic breeze and long hours of sunshine the region has developed into one of the most exciting golf destinations in latest years, Lisbon has become a jewel between golf holiday makers. The golf is great, the beaches are blissful and the scenery is breathtaking, the gastronomy superb; that is why that probably Lisbon is the perfect place where non-golfers can peacefully share in a golf vacation and enjoy himself as much as golfers or maybe even more.
Divided into three distinct regions; The Estoril Coast, the Costa Azul and Estremadura together they host top quality golf courses all within an hour drive of the center of Lisbon, you will be spoilt for choice! Those seeking some Championship golf should experience Oitavos Dunes, a current venue on the European Tour, located at a short distance Quinta da Marinha hosted Challenge Tour events; neighboring them is Golfe do Estoril another excellent course. Heading west Belas Club Campo and Praia del Rey will make your day, if deciding to go south the choice is wider the Aroeira Golf Resort, Quinta de Peru, Troia Golf and the Ribagolfe Resort are some of the courses that make Lisbon an excellent destination for your golf holiday.
Awarded as the "Best European Golf Destination 2007" by the IAGTO (International Association of Golf Tour Operators) the region surpassed nominees in Scotland, Ireland and Spain; finally emerging from the shadow of country's most known golf destination, the Algarve, awarded on the previous year.
Similarly to other golfing destinations you can reserve a Golf package, for a set price and a wide choice of combinations (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 rounds) is available, this option offers an unbeatable combination of top courses in the Lisbon area and generally the more you play the more you save.
