Take the A2 motorway south from Lisbon; take exit 2 and follow the N10 south direction Azeitao (later signed Setubal). After traffic lights in Quinta do Conde continue for another 1.9 kms on N10 then turn right direction Golf. At first roundabout turn left (third exit). After 1.4 km golf is on your right.
Quinta do Peru Golf Course: With the Arrabida mountains as its backdrop, and most holes skirted by woodland or orchards, this Rocky Roquemore design lays down a throughly enjoyable golfing test. The opening par-5 (stroke-index 1) gives you a flavour of the often generous rolling fairways, well-placed bunkering, excellent greens and overall parkland character of the layout.
Excellent use is made of the undulating terrain, and it's generally clear to see what's needed from the tee. The par-3 8th and 16th holes, and par-4 12th and 17th are where water threatens. Elsewhere, good quality bunkering provides the defence.
With pleasant views over surrounding and distant hills, and relatively limited housing around the course, the only other ingredient you'll want (and probably get) is plenty of Portuguese sunshine to accompany your round.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: men 28; women 36.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
