Nestled near the historical village of Óbidos, and just a 50-minute drive from Lisbon, the Praia D'El Rey Golf Course offers a unique blend of natural beauty and architectural design. This esteemed course is part of the Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort, known for its strategic location adjacent to the Berlengas Island nature reserve along Portugal's Silver Golf Coast.
Designed by American architect Cabell B. Robinson, the course is celebrated for its true links layout. Praia D'El Rey is characterized by its stunning setting within a vast expanse of pine forests, with sweeping views across the Atlantic Ocean, making it one of the most scenic golf courses in Portugal.
Robinson’s design presents a comprehensive golfing challenge. The course features deep bunkers, rolling greens, and natural sandy areas, providing a striking contrast to the meticulously maintained fairways. This combination ensures both fun and excitement for players of all levels.
The Praia D'El Rey Golf Course is not only a treat for the eyes but also a test of skill, particularly noted for its variety. The course offers memorable moments such as the breathtaking view of the Berlengas Islands at the second hole, picturesque scenery at the eleventh, and a continual ocean panorama along the twelfth. The wind variations at the fourteenth hole add an extra layer of challenge, while the seventeenth hole stands out as the second-longest Par 5 in Portugal and Europe, stretching an impressive 570 meters.
Recognized as one of the premier golfing destinations in Europe, Praia D'El Rey was honored as Portugal’s No. 1 golf venue by Golf World magazine in their "Top 100 Resorts in Continental Europe 2019." This accolade underlines the course's status as a must-visit for any golf enthusiast looking to experience the best of European golf.
