Course Information.
The whole of the course, which is now one of the best-known on the
Estoril Coast, is surrounded by beautiful panoramic views. For most
of the course, however, the fairways face inland with the beautiful
outline of the Sintra hills in the background.
Many bunkers and a number of lakes make the players' task even more
difficult. The course has had its critics over the years but with a
family pride to succeed Quinta da Marinha is now delivering a great
experience.
The Quinta da Marinha course stretches down to Guincho beach with some
of the most majestic scenery in Portugal. Located in the private estate
of Quinta da Marinha with thousands of pine-trees and luxury homes,
it was designed by the famous architect Robert Trent Jones, who worked
on the flat terrain to produce a course with five par 5's and six par
3's.
"The most spectacular hole is the thirteenth, a 339-metre par
4 sloping down towards the sea and ending in a green where the golfer
has the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop."

A course that proves that size is not everything and if you believe
that golf is not all power and length you can have an enjoyable game
of game at this course.
