Lisbon Golf Breaks

The Riviera golf holiday package has predominately been designed to accommodate those discerning golfers, who wish to have minimum travelling to the golf courses we have listed but also wish to stay in a higher standard of accommodation.

When you stay in Cascais or Estoril on your golf holiday you will be treated to an area of Portugal which has its own Mediterranean microclimate. This area not only has cooler summers but enjoys warmer winters thus making it more comfortable to play golf all year round compared to the Algarve.

The Portuguese Riviera, which is centred around Cascais and Estoril, has been a popular destination for holiday makers since Europe’s 19th century elite came to relax and enjoy themselves. Estoril has its world renowned Casino, which is a must to enjoy during your golf holiday and Cascais which has a slightly more modern feel, will cater for the holiday maker who wishes to enjoy a lively time in the evenings.

The courses included in this package are exceptional, ranging from the private members club of Golf do Estoril to the majestic course at Penha Longa and a must to play is the newest course on the list of Oitavos Golf, which recently held the Portuguese Open.

If you wish to play and stay in the best during your Tee Times golf holiday, then the Riviera package is for you. Pick your courses and accommodation for your golf holiday and we’ll do the rest.

Our Heritage golf holiday package covers the area around Cascais and Sintra and across to Belas.

The mountains and forests around Sintra have been inhabited since prehistoric times and within the town you will find a fascinating collection of ancient palaces, castles, monasteries and Roman and Moorish archaeological remains. Artists, scientists and poets have been awed for years when visiting Sintra and the modern day traveller will no doubt feel the same. The medieval town essentially remains the same as it has for centuries and within its narrow streets lay a labyrinthine of steps, arcades which now house many shops, restaurants and bars.

Cascais and Estoril are only a short drive from Sintra and staying in these two coastal towns will give you an option to visit Sintra during your golf holiday. These towns are vastly different from Sintra but you will feel at home here during your golf holiday due to the relaxed and friendly nature of the local inhabitants. There is plenty do and see in Cascais and Estoril and these towns will give you easy access to all the golf courses contained in the Heritage golf package.

The coastline north of Lisbon, which has been chosen for your Tee Times golf holiday, is known as the silver coast or Costa de Prata. It borders a little known region of tranquil towns, vineyards and villages, which over the years has seen the construction of the courses of Praia Del Rey, Golden Eagle and Campo Real.

Staying at the Marriott hotel at the Praia Del Rey Resort during your golf holiday, will allow you to play all three courses during your stay. Campo Real and Golden Eagle are only a 30 minute drive away and are a joy to play during your Tee Times golf holiday. 

This region has an unspoilt history and culture, with royal associations, dating back some 1000 years.

The fortified town of Obidos is located in the centre of the region and has been carefully preserved and close by, to the northeast of Obidos, a sizable ruin of a Roman town has recently been discovered and is believed to have been called Beleza Moreira.

West of Obidos is the fishing town of Peniche which has a fantastic collection of fish restaurants and you will also find the Fortaleza, a 16th century fort which was used to imprison political prisoners during the time of the Portuguese dictator, Salazar.

The local museums tell the story of the famous escape of Alvaro Cunhal, the leader of the communist party. An hours ferry trip from Peniche will bring you to the Berlenga Islands, well know for its wonderful bird life.

The Silver coast package is a must if you wish to mix your golf holiday with a truly fascinating cultural experience.

The region for our Tee Times Tagus golf holiday break stretches from the glorious beaches, with its simple beachside restaurants and bars, of the Costa Caprica, in the west, to the fishing port of Sesimbra in the south and eastwards to the northern edge of the Alentejo which is a vast area of grassland and cork forests, which produces 90% of the worlds supply of cork.

For your Tagus golf holiday break we have picked the golf courses of Ribagolfe 1 & 2 and Santo Estevao are situated in the Alentejo area, east of Alcochete and are accessable from Lisbon across the Tagus River by the Vasco Da Gamma Bridge, which has a span of some 26km and is one of the longest in the world.

Travelling south across the Ponte 25 de Abril Bridge you will find the courses for your golf holiday of Aroeira 1 & 2 and Quinta do Peru which are situated close to Sesimbra. East of Sesimbra is the port of Setubal where you can have an adventurous day out and travel across by ferry to Troia or play the new course of Montado, which is a short drive along the coast from Setubal.
 

We have chosen the hotels in this golf holiday package for the easiest routes to these courses and you can choose your preferred accommodation and the courses you wish to play from our list in the Tagus golf holiday package.
