To compliment Tee Times Lisbon and Sesimbra ladies only golf breaks, we have created the Cascais ladies only golf break to add to these two wonderful destinations.
Cascais sits majestically next to the Atlantic Ocean and is situated at the mouth of the River Tejo on one of the most western points of Portugal. Being a 50 minute drive west of Lisbon and only a 10 minute drive to the well known neighbouring town of Estoril makes this an ideal place to stay for your Tee Times ladies only golf break.
The wonderful thing about Cascais is that although it is a bustling town it still manages to convey a village type atmosphere making it a fun but relaxing place to visit and stay during your golf holiday. And as we at Tee Times are always wishing to give our ladies a treat for their golf breaks, we believe that Cascais and its surrounding areas will provide a great mixture of fine food, great golf, history and culture, which our ladies only golf breaks have become known for.
Throughout early history Cascais was a small fishing port and this is still evident today as there is still a fish market close to the small picturesque harbour bay which fronts Cascais and still continues to have several yachts and small boats moored there. A new modern marina has now been built at the western point of the town and here and you will not only see some magnificent boats and yachts but you can while away many hours during your Tee Times golf break in the many lively bars and restaurants that it houses.
The town was once known as the gateway to Lisbon and protected the entrance to the River Tejo which is still evident today by the large fort which sits on its highest point. In the first part of the 19th century the port trade declined and Cascais became struck by poverty but in 1870 King Luis 1, chose to convert the 17th century building of the Citadela into his summer residence and the town quickly became a very fashionable town to visit and stay after the construction of the aristocratic palaces and mansions. In 1926 the railway line which runs from Cascais to Lisbon was electrified and this had an enormously positive economic effect on Cascais.During the 2nd world war several kings and heads of European countries sought refuge in Cascais, and because of this many aristocrats, politicians, actors and writers followed, increasing the population by over 20,000 between 1939 and 1946. Some of the more famous exiles were the Duke of Windsor, King Umberto of Italy and Prince Juan of Spain.
The great thing about Cascais is that over the many years of redevelopment it has not lost its charm or historic culture and there are some fascinating places to visit during your Tee Times golf holiday stay. Some of these include the Museu do Mar, which depicts the story of Cascais and its fishing history, the Boca do Inferno, which in English means ‘mouth of hell’ as on a rough sea day the waves crash against the rocks making an incredible booming noise. Other places of interest as well as the many historical buildings in the town is the attractive park of Parque Palmela, created by Duques de Palmela, open air concerts are regularly held here, the Praca de Touros built in 1873 and which holds regular bull fights inside its imposing building, and the Grutus do Poco Velho caves which are situated in the centre of the town and date back to the Neolithic period.
Cascais is a real treat for any ladies wishing to mix their golf with a bit of culture during their Tee Times golf holiday and with some fantastic restaurants and lively bars for your lunchtime and evening entertainment you will surely be tempted to return many times for a Tee Times Golf Break, to enjoy this vibrant but relaxing Portuguese town. The all year round climate also makes it favourable for visiting at any time of the year for your Tee Times golf break so next time you are looking for somewhere a bit different to play golf then why not try a Tee Times ladies only golf break in Cascais.
