Oitavos Dunes Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golf, set in Quinta da Marinha
(Estoril Open de Portugal 2008), lies within the Sintra-Cascais
Natural Park. It is set among pine woods and reforested dunes, in an area of
great natural beauty. Being a seaside golf course, the ocean view is present
all the time, although some of the more fantastic scenery come from the
Sintra mountains and Cabo da Roca the Europe's most western point in Europe,
seen from the 9, 10, 11 and 14 holes. The layout has been carefully crafted
by one of the greatest golf architects of our times, ex-president of the
American Society of Golf Course Architects, Arthur Hills. Hills has
maintained and preserved the unique characteristics of the land, creating a
6.303 meters, par 71 golf course. The sustainability of the resources is the
prior objective, and because of that the flora and fauna peculiar to the
region are strictly protected, being some areas closed to people and
machines.
Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golf is the 1st Golf Course in Europe and the 2nd in the World to be recognized as a Certified Signature Sanctuary - Gold. It is already set as one of the best golf courses in Europe, where a non stress round of golf can be played all year round. A round here is a stern test of golfing ability, particularly if the wind is blowing. Many drives require a long carry to reach a safe position, and although the fairways offer a decent landing area to aim for, anything that hits the rough is likely to find trouble. If you're used to playing in the UK, then putting here will be a whole new experience - the large, undulating greens are lightning fast and tough to read. |
