Quinta da Marinha Resort

The clubhouse was closed to the public which hugely affected the experience

Excellent - perfect for a golf tour and even a more extended stay

Fabulous hospitality

The accommodation suited us well with 2 twin bedded rooms and a single room. The breakfasts at the Boutique hotel were excellent with a wide range of options to suit every taste. Bed linen and towels were changed on 3 occasions during our stay. We mostly ate in the Clubhouse bar which was very welcoming, reasonably priced and offered our party a sufficient range of culinary choice. All of our party thought the package excellent value for money.

Accommodation was excellent, bar staff bit slow serving drinks in the evening, one lady in my party didn’t take kind being told to be patient!!! this was the only disappointing experience.

Lovely staff, nice facilities, excellent breakfast spread. Bar menu enjoyable and lovely seaside restaurant serviced by free shuttle

The hotel was good enjoyed the villa.

Can not fault this hotel, maybe a bit more variety on the hot breakfast if I was been really picky, but great venue

Lovely hotel with good comfort and service levels. 10 min taxi ride in to Cascais centre.

Great staff who do all they can to improve your stay

Comfortable and clean hotel with friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Limited items in buffet. Some drinks very expensive eg orange juice 9 euros, amaretto single measure 15.5 euros. Overall good, will be happy to go back.

Nice and clean hotel, very helpful staff

We stayed in the villas which I wouldn’t describe as villas. They were 2 bedroom apartments which were clean and adequate for our stay.the shuttle bus which was always available took us to the hotel for breakfast and the drivers were very friendly and cooperative.drinks and food was expensive which we expected being 5 star hotel plenty of choice at breakfast.

Stayed in villas which were a short minibus ride from main hotel & all facilities. Great accommodation, a little inconvenient if you want to use to the spa or pool & in the morning to go for breakfast.

Clean linen and towels every day .lovely staff . breakfasts to die for . first class all the way

We did not stay on the hotel, but thay had a good service

Very comfortable hotel. Staff super friendly and helpful. We upgraded to a suite in the hotel for convenience rather than stay in one of the villas which are 10-15 mins walk away. Excellent breakfasts. Lots of other guests - golfers and non-golfers, mostly aged 40+ - so the hotel had a very good vibe.

This Hotel is good, very helpful staff and the food we had during our stay was very good.

The tee areas were dreadful, the markers had been there so long they were furrows in the tee areas. Teepegs everywhere.Faurways burnt to a crisp.. All the pins were at the front edge of the greens. Never go back

Over zealous starter was a bit OTT but onec we got going the pace of play was ok. The course was nice looking the greens were good, t boxes were below average and the fairways were alright. Would I play this again probably not.

Practice facilities made us late and the pace of play was very slow

great traditional Portuguese course

Note - the pro shop closes at 7pm so any rounds with buggies is curtailed to get the buggies back. - so we ended up missing out on the last two holes

This is a course linked to a hotel comlplex so facilities are good. Course felt overplayed, tees and greens average at best.

No clubhouse available due to private event all over our stay. This hugely changed the exoerience

Heatwave in UK , stepped on first tee and drizzle , overcast in Portugal. Nice course good condition well maintained with some interesting holes.Greens a little slow.

Good Course but greens was having work done

not great,buggy issues on arrival.cheap green fees,so course overbooked. very slow play,but having said all that,would like to play again on a quieter day

Five & half hour round 🙈

This could be a very good course but the stae of the course needed considerable improvement - the tee boxes were very poor. It was also ruined with a nearly five hour round !

Although only a 3 ball the round took 5 hours to complete. Luckily we were in a buggy. The people in front were incredibly slow and not sure they even had handicaps (this was never asked for and maybe should be ). Still had a nice time despite this.

Been playing in Cascais for circa 7/8 years and first time on this course as we wanted a change from Otavios, would not rush back as basically it’s a “resort” course and unless you have played it before then you will struggle as good shots are not always rewarded, etc - also needs investment on the course infrastructure as paths / tracks are all over the place.

Nice course and facilities

Please warn other golfers that you will be required to give reception your credit card details in case of damage to the buggy booked by yourselves. We were concerned that they insisted on writing the card details down before we were allowed to play. We believe this is a high security risk which we pointed out to the reception but they were not interested.

Fairways and greens were excellent. Tees were scruffy and uneven. Bar was lovely but kitchen was closed so we couldn’t even get a sandwich after the round.

Very difficult course. Very busy. Were asked to pair up with other golfers to make four-ball. Worked out well and an enjoyable round. Didn't visit clubhouse bar.

More of a resort course, nice to play, greens were good.

A good course with good greens and a number of interesting holes. Well placed water will catch out many first timers. The unusual layout means the walk between holes often requires crossing fairways the final 4 holes are squeezed into a small area. We played at a steady pace with the occasional wait on a par 3 tee. Would play here again but not at €200 on the day green fee.

Some holes were tight for the high handicapper.

The condition of the fairways and the areas between the tee boxes and the greens were poor as were the tee boxes themselves. Could be a great course if more investment was made in improving the general appearance.

The course is lovely. Practice facilities were ok but should be cheaper for residents. Cannot hit driver at range and no grass to practice. Only Astro turf

We payed the course on 4 occasions in mostly sunny but at times breezy conditions. It did not appear overplayed and the greens were in good condition although difficult to read. We found the aprons around the greens very sticky and difficult to penetrate and as a result rather frustrating as often a lofted approach shot was impossible because of the overhanging pines. It remained a challenge throughout our stay!

Unfortunately we played during a thunderstorm which did take a little something of our experience, tee box could do with some work but fairways & greens excellent

Very very slow. Not as well kept as Dunes.

A group of ladies 26 in number held up the field ?? If they had handicaps .!!! Marshals tried to move play on

Nice game of golf on a good quality and well maintained course

Lovely course no delays course in excellent condition.

Course was in poor condition, looked scruffy. Clubhouse closed as we walked in and others still on the course.

well maintained fairly open with a few quirky holes also gps watch out of sync the front 9 is the back nine on gps systems

Poor

Greens had been verticut and sanded a week before and fertilised the first day we played so not at their best. Some long par fours were challenging for lady golfers but great hitting fairway woods into greens. Some great holes and no poor holes. A challenge but achievable.

Great course but a little scruffy. There have been a lot of reviews elsewhere slamming the layout and the facilities but a new club house and change of the order have I think made up for that. As with all these courses - food and drink are expensive!

Another great course in good condition. No complaints at all 👍

Great course and facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

No of great quality needs more attention everywhere

Nice golf course.

Lovely course in good condition. A challenge but playable.

Very tired, course has been moved around - walk across fairways- rough around the greens far too long- bare fairways in places

Course has been turned around again, second time in the 6 years we have been going, but it now has a decent clubhouse rather than the ‘shed’ which now is the main shop for the driving range. Some good holes here with water at times. Maybe becoming too corporate, focused on income rather than golfing experience.

Long course. Some really fantastic views on some holes to the Atlantic. Greens were very fast. Course in good condition (although some holes seemed to be temporarily changed for repairs).

Where do I start. The course is not having basic maintenance tasks completed such as cutting grass, raking bunkers, moving pin positions, and repairing tee boxes. The layout of the course is good but the lack of investment by the owners means it is one to completely avoid. We arrived at the club or be told our six tee times had been split with a 1h 30 gap. The day was a total disaster golf wise.

The staff were excellent at working groups into the gaps, letting you know if you want to go off early to avoid slow play. Hole 13 really is spectacular! B

A good holiday golf course

Same every day

Fairly flat course but decent layout. No buggies available at our 11am tee times.

Course was the weakest of those we played and was too busy with too many players causing an extremely slow round.

Nice course , but original layout has changed. to accommodate new hotel, so some of the holes are not as original designed , but still a good test of golf.

5th visit here and have noticed that it has become a little more of a business in the last couple of years where the focus seems to be to cram as many people as possible onto the course which is a shame as it is a nice course. As a two we were paired with some non english speaking people (not their fault i know!!) but it does detract from the overall experience ( in my opinion)

It appears that the course has been set up with limited space as it has five par 3’s and an excessive number of cross overs with a number of holes going off in different directions! As with Peña Longha the course was not in the best condition with many area parched and dry with no grass to play off!!

Hope to revisit Cascais next year . Will not be choosing to play this again .

Course was in good condition, but facilities at clubhouse were very basic to say the least, staff were very helpful in fixing a problem we had, with our booking

Buggies we’re requested but we’re not available. Fortunately the course was easy to walk around as very compact which isn’t always the case in Portugal! There is no club house to speak of and limited practice areas. We enjoyed the holes with the ocean view & there were a couple of challenging holes in the wind!

Enjoyed the course but tough to score well - especially when the wind was in your face. Speed of play ok on first outing but very slow the second round. Could have done with some marshalling. Halfway house closed 2nd time out. Also toilet block in strange location on way to 18th tee. Buggy not necessary.

An enjoyable, resort like test but preferred our other courses played Was extremely slow but that could have been due to a Saturday tee time Very fair and some memorable holes

A little disappointed in the overall state of the course. Greens were good and receptive. Just need a little TLC.

Enjoyable course

Great challenges on course. Length right ; difficult at times and grass suitably different to UK to present a challenge

Lovely course, eating and drinking facilities very basic. Also they were the only course we have ever played that took my credit card against accidental buggy damage which was a bit concerning.

Tough, challenging, and very well designed golf course. Not long but a great test.

Course was a little run down but some pretty holes.Greens were fine. Virtually no food/drink facilities on offer.

Expected something mega / polished. Were all a little underwhelmed. Tee boxes poor. Greens and Fairways good. Small clubhouse, big hotel development ongoing. We decided that we wouldn't rush back to play it, but it was good fun and some / many challenging holes

Easy beginners course. The round was very slow with lots crossing of fairways. I would opt for other courses next time.

The course is great challenging as you would expect excellent day had by all

With no club house of course facilities very limited . This course was the busiest by far but we still maintained a reasonable rate of play .We were concerned before arrival about buggy availability but was told when I booked in that 4 buggies were booked .

Good course, reasonably challenging for my wife (30hcp)and myself (16hcp)

5th time here, in good condition, good layout with a little cross crossing.

lovely course .plenty off room .Great forgiveness on most holes if u go off fairways. Top class course very enjoyable.

We found Quinta da marinha quite tough as greens were in excellent condition and very fast.fairways were generous and course was a bit untidy in places but overall enjoyable and good value for money.

Slow greens, very muddy fairways

Nice course,poor facilities, Buggies too expensive

Not being able to book buggies was a concern although they did scrape enough together for us in the end. Wouldn’t have liked to have to walk it.

A very very windy day caused us problems but overall it was very good

Course crammed. No buggies. Organised chaos. Club house bar closed on our return. 200 golfers on course. Lots of cross overs on course so dangerous. Will not go back

Very friendly staff. Good golf course for the first day of the trip.

Unfortunately we played the course on a very windy day which did not make for enjoyable golf. There are some interesting holes but the course is a little worn, maybe a long summer.

No real facilities at course for changing/showering. The course was a good test & enjoyed the scenery on the way round.

Par 3 were challenging but enjoyable. Resort facilities, no restaurant as such, which wasn’t a problem if we had known. No locker rooms and we were going home after round. Went back to the hotel.

easy check in. nice reception If you are a 2 ball you get put with other players sometimes , another pair or a single . This is not always welcome . a challenging course where there is always a tree in the way.

lovely course with a nice degreee of difficulty

yes i would recomend this course having played many in portugal this is certainly worth playing

sadly this course is getting too many groups playing on it. held up on nearly every hole due to slow play ( mainly French and Scandinavians who don't really let you play through when they are looking for their balls)Very tight fairways which means a lot of lost balls and people playing 3 off the tee which as I say slowed the whole round up.Would be a great course if it had say 15 minutes between tee time not 10 minutes. Less would be more enjoyable.

Massive and speedy greens in good condition. Not so keen on the layout of the course as lots of crossing over - so very confusing. Club house very basic - no locker room. This is a longish course and provided decent holiday golf. We were coupled with partners who regularly played the course - fortunate in one way as they navigated us around however they actually played speed golf which lessened our experience.

Fantastic Course, yes they had changed the layout, but that was not a problem. I never got the feel for the greens even after 5 rounds. But that is my problem, don´t forget to use time on putting before you arrive.

unfortunately we played in heavy rain and course was very wet. it looked like a great course however, and was reasonably forgiving so a good place to start before moving on to more difficult courses

Shop ran out of basic sandwiches so 8 of 16 people could not get food snacks from shop. Some groups would not use Hotel 19th hole as you cannot lookout for the return bus, so go back to the small reception shop to wait Andy have a drink but all food had gone by 3pm? Very slow on course so may groups taking forever waiting on every shot every hole?

No real club house facilities,more like a hut at the driving range. Did not think much of the greens that day?

We loved this course, challenging but pretty and a nice easy walk. Everything was in excellent condition and the adjacent hotel provided the Ryder Cup coverage for us.

Pro-shop helpful and course in good condition.

The design of this course required golfers to walk across fairways to the next tee - both hazardous and time consuming. In addition, some of the tees were adjacent and therefore noise was a distraction in some cases.
