Praia D'El Rey Golf & Beach Resort

Overview: Stretching along the silver coast of Portugal north of Lisbon, this course is a mixed routing designed by Cabell Robinson. The front nine winds through mature pine trees, while the back nine plays directly along the coastal dunes and cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean.

History: Opened in 1997, the course was designed to establish the region as a championship-standard destination, utilizing the contrasting pine forest and coastal dune landscapes to offer distinct strategic challenges.

Did You Know? The coastal stretch of holes is highly exposed to Atlantic gales, often forcing players to use low-trajectory "bump and run" shots to hold the firm, seaside fairways.
