Oitavos Dunes Golf Course is without doubt one of the best new projects to be completed in Europe in recent years, with an outstanding golf course set in a truly awe-inspiring environment. The course lies within the Sintra and Cascais Natural Park in Portugal.
The Oitavos owner's goal was to create one of the finest golf experiences in Europe, all within the elegant natural and historical framework inherent to the Quinta. They felt that with a site so rich in innate beauty, each hole of Oitavos must fit ideally in the setting, thus assuring a natural appearance with variety and charm. To accomplish this objective of excellence, the management of Oitavos Golf Club has established strict rules of respect towards the land.
The real uniqueness of Oitavos Dunes is the setting and scenic splendor.
Whichever way you look, the view is different: whether the backdrop of the
Sintra hills, the dramatic Atlantic Ocean or Cabo da Roca, the most westerly
point of the European continent. In 2001, the golf resort was the first one
in Europe and the second one in the world to become recognized as a an
Audubon Signature Sanctuary. Each hole fits ideally in the setting, thus
ensuring a natural appearance with variety and charm. The course is similar
to a links style course in Scotland – a continuous loop of holes with nine
out and nine in. There are three distinct landscapes: forested area with the
most beautiful umbrella pine trees, dune lands and the more open coastal
transition areas. With the breathtaking views and the fascinating flora and
fauna your game will be an unforgettable one.
