Our Top Northern Portugal Courses

Estela Golf Club

Designed by Duarte Sotto-Mayor, the course is defined by natural elements and the ocean breeze. Stretching miles along the Atlantic Coast, the wind becomes a challenge on nearly every hole. The coastal setting does deliver incredible ocean views throughout the round, creating an experience that feels reminiscent of traditional seaside links courses found in Scotland and Ireland. Estela has played host to multiple European Tour events, such as the Portugal Open in 1991. Make sure to grab a bite to eat at the clubhouse after your round for local food and amazing views of the ocean.

What Makes Porto Special?

Porto is one of Portugal’s cultural centers, where cobblestone streets and centuries of history create an atmosphere that is truly authentic.

Porto is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Port wine. Historic wine cellars line the banks of the Douro River, where Port has been aged and exported for generations. Tastings and cellar tours offer visitors an opportunity to experience one of Portugal’s most famous traditions.

At the heart of the city flows the Douro River, where colorful buildings surround the riverbanks and historic bridges span the valley. A popular way to explore the city and the Douro Wine Country is through a river cruise.

A trip to Porto enhances any trip to Portugal, whether experienced as the first stop on your journey or a fitting finale.

“What makes Porto compelling is its authenticity. It combines rich history with a genuine local character. From elegant hotels and acclaimed restaurants to intimate, family-run “tascas” where hospitality feels deeply personal, visitors will enjoy an authentic journey.”
From our expert, Ines Pereira

Premier Golf Tip

Make time to wander Porto’s historic streets and visit one of the city’s renowned Port lodges. A tour and tasting at Graham’s offers an excellent introduction to Portugal’s iconic fortified wine.

Northern Portugal Tour FAQs

We recommend anywhere from 3-4 nights with 2 rounds of golf, allowing you ample time to experience the city.

While Lisbon is known for its coastal setting and vibrant urban energy, Porto offers a more intimate atmosphere with historic architecture, riverside scenery, and deep wine traditions.

Similar to Lisbon, April to October give the best chance of sunshine and warm weather. 

Either option works well. Though, the city’s relaxed pace, excellent dining, and riverside setting can be a great finale for your group’s trip.
