Where to stay
Óbidos / Praia D'el Rey
The Óbidos area on Portugal's Silver Coast combines dune-and-pine links golf at Praia D'el Rey with one of the country's most photogenic medieval towns. The coast here is less developed than the Algarve, which suits golfers looking for something quieter and more authentically Portuguese.
- Golf access
- Praia D'el Rey resort is in the area; Penha Longa and Oitavos are accessible via the A8 motorway.
- Restaurants & evenings
- Óbidos' medieval walled town has several good restaurants and wine bars; the area is part of the Óbidos lagoon wine region.
- Families
- The walled medieval town of Óbidos is one of Portugal's most picturesque; the Silver Coast beaches and lagoon are superb.
Lisbon / Cascais
Lisbon and the Estoril coast offer the full combination of world-class golf at Oitavos and Penha Longa with a major European capital. Cascais, the upmarket resort town west of Lisbon, is the most convenient base for the Sintra-area courses without being in the city itself.
- Golf access
- Penha Longa and Oitavos are in the Sintra-Cascais area; Praia D'el Rey is a 75-minute drive north.
- Restaurants & evenings
- Lisbon is one of Europe's best dining cities; Cascais has a strong local restaurant scene focused on Atlantic seafood.
- Families
- Sintra's fairy-tale palaces, Cascais beaches, and Lisbon's extensive family attractions make this the region's best base for families.
