Course Information.

The Praia D'El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort is home to one of the premier Lisbon Portugal golf courses, located just one hour north of the capital city, along the peaceful sandy beaches of the west coast.

Designed by the world-renowned American architect Cabell B. Robinson, the Praia D'El Rey Championship Golf Course is rich in variety, providing an excellent test for both the handicapped golfer as well as the advanced player.

Close to the medieval town of Obidos and the Berlengas islands nature reserve, this course brings players into close contact with nature and has all the ingredients needed for a pleasurable game of golf.

Praia d'el Rey has distinctive parkland features for the first nine holes and then turns into a genuine links course over the next nine. It runs mainly along a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, providing beautiful views over the sea, dunes, lakes and the pine forest that dominates the landscape.

The course was voted the third best in Portugal in the biennial poll organised by the European Golf magazine and was considered the seventeenth best course in Europe by the Golf World magazine.

Golfers not only enjoy the pleasant surroundings but are confronted with many challenging playing situations.
The whole course, however, provides plenty of variety, particularly the view afforded of the Berlengas islands from hole number 2, the spectacular scenery at hole 11, the view over the Atlantic Ocean all along the fairway of hole 12, the changing wind direction at hole 14 and the huge 570 metres of hole 17.

For three years, the course hosted the European Cup, popularly known as the War of the Sexes, since it pitted a team from the European Ladies Tour against a team from the Senior European Tour.
