Discover Lisbon and its surroundings on a memorable golf trip
More so than the Algarve at the moment, Lisbon (and its surroundings) is simply becoming The best golfing destination in Europe. The newish Comporta Dunes has been named Best European and the World’s Best Golf Course in 2023, plus 2 new courses are being developed in the south region of Lisbon. These courses complement the original Troia Golf Club built in the 80s by RTJ.
West of Lisbon above Cascais, Royal Obidos and Penhã Longa are excellent tests of golf that could be combined with the visits of the Sintra Palaces, the beaches and the excellent seafood found along the coastline.
Further north, Praia del Rey and West Cliffs GC are amonth the top golfing experiences in Portugal. The northern Lisbon area is also a fantastic option for accompanying non-golfers who want to indulge in cultural experiences. You can go and explore the cute fishing town of Peniche plus you could tour the walled village of Obidos, visit the classified UNESCO Bathalha Monastery or even, the nights Templar former headquarters in Tomar.
Lisbon city centre is a delightful adventure and we recommend to stay at least 2 nights to immerse into the Portugese culture, visit the monuments and enjoy a dinner with a Fado singer. The experience is absolutely memorable. We highly recommend to dine outside by the Tage River and enjoy either Polvo, Bacaulhau (their famous cod fish), or Beef na Pedra (Hot-stone beef piece).
Our instagram account will start showing more of Lisbon golf courses over the next couple of months! Stay put. Lots of tips and information to come.
