Golf Information
Oitavos Dunes – Cascais, Portugal
Designer: Arthur Hills
Opened: 2001
Oitavos Dunes is widely regarded as Portugal’s finest modern links course and one of the best in continental Europe. Designed by Arthur Hills and set within a protected coastal dune system near Cabo da Roca, the course offers a true links experience with firm fairways, strategic bunkering, and uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean views from every hole.
The layout makes minimal use of trees, instead relying on natural contours, wind, and ground game options to challenge golfers. Its environmental credentials are notable, with the course carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape. Oitavos consistently ranks among the top courses in Europe and is a benchmark for modern links design outside the British Isles.
Penha Longa Atlantic Course – Sintra, Portugal
Designer: Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Opened: 1992
Set within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, the Atlantic Course at Penha Longa offers a dramatic contrast to Oitavos Dunes. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course winds through forested hills, granite outcrops, and valleys beneath Sintra’s UNESCO-listed mountains.
The Atlantic Course has hosted the Portuguese Open on multiple occasions and is known for its elevation changes, long par fours, and demanding approach shots. Strategic play is essential, with several holes framed by natural rock formations and mature woodland. It is a championship course that rewards thoughtful shot-making and provides one of Portugal’s most scenic inland golf experiences.
Palmares Golf – Algarve, Portugal
Designer: Robert Trent Jones Jr. (Redesign)
Originally Opened: 1975 (Redesigned 2011–2015)
Palmares is a distinctive coastal course overlooking the Bay of Lagos, combining links-style holes near the ocean with parkland elements further inland. Robert Trent Jones Jr.’s redesign transformed Palmares into a flowing, modern layout that uses elevation, open fairways, and ocean exposure to shape play.
The course is known for its wide corridors off the tee, firm playing surfaces, and panoramic views of the Atlantic. Its routing allows for constant visual connection to the coastline, while the wind adds a strategic layer throughout the round. Palmares is considered one of the Algarve’s most visually striking and enjoyable courses.
Al Houara Golf Club – Tangier, Morocco
Designer: Graham Marsh
Opened: 2014
Located along Morocco’s northern Atlantic coast near Tangier, Al Houara Golf Club is a modern championship course designed by former professional golfer Graham Marsh. The layout is set on open, gently rolling land with broad fairways, coastal breezes, and a natural, links-inspired feel.
Al Houara has quickly established itself as one of Morocco’s top-ranked courses, noted for its scale, conditioning, and relaxed but strategic design. The course is playable for all levels while still offering challenge through wind, green complexes, and well-positioned hazards. Its proximity to Tangier makes it a standout addition to a Mediterranean golf itinerary.
Finca Cortesin – Spain
Designer: Cabell B. Robinson
Opened: 2006
Las Colinas Country Club – Alicante, Spain
Designer: Cabell B. Robinson
Opened: 2010
Las Colinas is a modern championship course set within a secluded valley south of Alicante. Designed by Cabell B. Robinson, a former associate of Robert Trent Jones Sr., the course emphasises strategic play, natural movement of the land, and environmental sensitivity.
Wide fairways encourage confident driving, while elevated greens and natural hazards demand thoughtful approaches. Las Colinas has earned recognition as one of Spain’s best modern courses and regularly appears in European top-course rankings. It offers a contemporary contrast to the more traditional layouts earlier in the itinerary.
Experiences
Lisbon – History, Hills & River Views
Your pre-tour experience begins with guided sightseeing in Lisbon, introducing the city’s historic neighbourhoods, elegant squares, and tiled façades. A walking tour explores key districts and viewpoints overlooking the Tagus River, offering insight into Lisbon’s maritime past and cultural identity. The city’s compact centre makes it ideal for wandering on foot, with cafés, wine bars, and restaurants easily accessible from your hotel.
Cádiz – Andalusian Heritage by the Sea
In Cádiz, one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, sightseeing focuses on the atmospheric historic centre. Narrow streets open onto lively plazas and ocean-facing promenades, reflecting the city’s long association with seafaring and trade. The experience provides a relaxed introduction to Andalusian culture and daily life, shaped by centuries of maritime influence.
Tangier – A Cultural Crossroads
Tangier offers a distinct cultural shift, shaped by its position at the meeting point of Africa and Europe. Guided sightseeing introduces the city’s layered history, architecture, and vibrant street life, highlighting its role as a strategic port and international crossroads. The experience blends historical context with an appreciation of modern Tangier’s character and rhythm.
Ibiza – Beyond the Headlines
Sightseeing in Ibiza reveals a quieter, more refined side of the island. The focus is on historic quarters, coastal viewpoints, and the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle that has long attracted artists and travellers. This experience balances culture and scenery, offering time to appreciate Ibiza’s heritage and natural beauty beyond its nightlife reputation.
Mahón, Menorca – Harbour & Heritage
Mahón is defined by one of the world’s largest natural harbours, a feature central to Menorca’s history. Sightseeing explores the town’s maritime heritage, historic buildings, and waterfront views, reflecting the island’s understated elegance and slower pace compared to its Balearic neighbours.
Alghero, Sardinia – Mediterranean Character
In Alghero, sightseeing takes you through a well-preserved old town shaped by centuries of Mediterranean trade and Catalan influence. Medieval walls, narrow streets, and coastal outlooks define the experience, offering a strong sense of place and a distinct regional identity within Italy.
Bonifacio, Corsica – Clifftop Drama
Bonifacio is one of the most visually striking stops of the journey, perched high on limestone cliffs above the Mediterranean. Guided exploration of the historic citadel reveals fortified walls, dramatic coastal scenery, and sweeping sea views, making this a standout cultural and scenic highlight.
