68.5 | With the Arrabida mountains as its backdrop, the Quinta do Peru Golf Course offers amateurs a pleasant game, whilst also presenting a challenge for professionals. It was voted amongst the top 10 courses in Portugal in the biennial poll organised by the European Golf magazine.With its many trees and wild flowers, the course provides a varied start, for the first three holes consist of a par 5, a 386-metre par 4 and a 186-metre par 3. Amongst the first nine holes, attention is drawn to the short eighth hole, with a lake in front of its green. The next nine holes are even more difficult. Number 12 is a par 4 which, although not very long, has a lake running beside the fairway and down to the green. Then comes what is probably the most difficult test on the course: hole 16, a 200-metre par 3, where one needs to play over a lake to reach the green.
The course´s recognised quality has led to its hosting several events from the European ChallengeTour. The friendly family atmosphere makes this club one of the most highly regarded in Portuguese golf, its diversified course offering excellent views over the surrounding countryside.
This course is located on the south side of the River Tagus and is within comfortable driving distance of Lisbon and located in an area known for its quality wine and cheeses.
Golfers have stated that the outgoing nine-holes are only beaten in their difficulty by the back nine-holes. The first three holes consist of a par-5, a par-3 which is over 160 metres, and then a par-4 which is over 316 metres. Still in the first nine of the course the number 7 which is a 178 metre par-3 hole has an attractive but inviting lake in front of its green. In the back nine the 17th again again over a water hazard requires an accurate shot from the player. This course has supposedly been designed for amateur players but at the same time making part of the going even demanding for some professionals. |
