Praia D'El Rey Golf & Country Club Est. 1997

The first hole reveals the excellence of Praia D?El Rey?s upkeep, the second reveals the splendour of its setting beside the sea. No fewer than ten holes provide spectacular views onto the Atlantic Ocean, embracing all that you would expect from a great links golf course. The open, wind-exposed terrain has been skilfully developed to provide you with many memorable holes and golfing challenges. Fast, sloping greens, impressive bunkering and an undulating layout are all hallmarks of this wonderful course. The layout includes eight holes that weave their way through a more wooded setting, which occasionally opens out onto picturesque rural countryside. Within this stretch are some of the tighter driving holes that demand accuracy from the tee in addition to length. If the wind is blowing at anything more than a gentle breeze, then its your A-game you'll be needing, supported by good course management. To complete the scenic variety a certain amount of real estate is developing around the course, but so far, not to its detriment. Is this the top golf course in Portugal ? Penha Longa, Oitavos and San Lorenzo might contest that ! What is for certain, however, is Praia D'El Rey's inclusion in this elite group of wonderfully scenic and challenging courses.
