Portugal - Estoril
One of the oldest and best known golf courses in Portugal, Estoril played a pioneering role for developing golf in Portugal, hosting the Portuguese Open Championship between 1953-1972. The original course layout, designed by Mackenzie Ross, has gone through a number of alterations. The architect made use of pine trees and eucalyptus, which together, with the uneven terrain, make this course challenging in terms of accuracy rather than distance. A short course, Estoril covers 5,200 meters for a par 69, but it provides an engrossing challenge. Internationally known, hole 16 consists of a par 3 and 184 meters.
