SeeMore Putts Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'm heading to Portugal in a couple weeks for a semi-golf vacation. Any Spyers have any recommendations for courses? I'm already set to play the Royal Obidos which I'm super excited about it because it's Seve designed! Thanks in advance!

Nmrfgomes Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I´m from Portugal and i can point a few for you. Will you be staying just around Lisbon, will you go south? North? Do you have means to travel? What kind of courses are you looking for? Dificult, sight seeing ? just to relax ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nmrfgomes Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Some of the courses near the one you´r playing are very nice, https://www.westcliffs.com/en/golf ( currently rated as one of the best European courses ) http://clubedegolfe.praia-del-rey.com/course-guide/ If you can travel to play there are a few very good https://montebelogolfe.pt/pt/home http://www.monte-rei.com/- this one is a Jack Nicklaus signature Golf Course In the Capital there are 3 very good, Quinta da marinha in Cascais http://www.oitavosdunes.com/ Estoril Golf, The blue course is very pretty. http://www.clubegolfestoril.com/ And Oeiras Golf http://www.orizontegolf.com/clube/oeiras-golf/oeiras-golf/campos I made a review about this one. The best course for me, within beauty is Vidago, i would rate it medium-hard difficulty http://www.vidagopalacegolf.com/en/o-percurso https://get.google.com/albumarchive/101519155865919983702/album/AF1QipMUlW4x5ARK6YStFnjCXqjLCE2aSzSqj9z7Rkc?source=pwa#slideshow/5704486622158086770 You also have a lot to choose from if you go to the south ( Algarve ), but i never played there. Good luck choosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nmrfgomes Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 You're welcome, hope to see some pictures of your adventures golfing in Portugal. WestClifs is a very recent addition to our golf Portfolio so I hope you get to play there, it's been hard to get tee these days of summer.

SeeMore Putts Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 [mention=77076]SeeMore Putts[/mention] Have you played in Portugal yet? How was it?Loved it!!! Played West Cliffs twice it was so good. Also played Seve's course first but took me 3 holes to figure out you guys use 150 m instead of 150 yards. But can't wait to come back. Thanks for your help!

Nmrfgomes Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It really looks astonishing. I´m glad you liked it, where you guiding yourself by the reference '' sticks '' ? I believe only a few courses in Algarve use the double marking with a color for meters and another for yards. As a reference for everyone reading this post we use a mark on the post for every 50 meters 50 Meters = 54.680665 Yards so its 5 more yards that what your used to right?

SeeMore Putts Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yup, so 150 m markers are 164 yds from the hole. But I just though I was hitting my 8 iron horribly short!!
