Royal Obidos Golf Course

The Royal Obidos golf course was designed by the late great Spaniard Seve Ballesteros whose previous projects include the stunning Alhaurin and Quinta do Vale. Measuring 7,318 yards from the back tees, this course is set to test even the most talented golfers but like any good resort course a number of tee positions make the course accessible to a great variety of golfers.

The sumptuous clubhouse features a restaurant, spike bar and a well stocked pro shop and is ideally located overlooking no fewer than 9 of the 18 holes. Sitting out on the generous terrace, golfers can enjoy a cool glass of beer after a round while looking out over the spectacular golf course, the cascading lakes and streams and the Atlantic Ocean. If you tee off in the later afternoon be sure to stick around for majestic sunsets that are common to the region.

Signature Hole: Hole 2, Par 5, 503 metres (550 yards) (White Tees), SI 3

This glorious hole has Seve’s signature all over it. The hole is played from a spectacular elevated tee within the woods and overlooks a fairly narrow fairway, guarded both by water on the left, and ‘S’ shaped bunkering (for Seve) on the right. However, although this hole may be pleasing on the eye, it also has the potential to make you never want to look at your scorecard again! While the cautious player may choose to lay up before the lake, the more aggressive player may attempt to drive the ball over the lake, leaving for a choice as to whether to attack the green. A fantastic hole, with the ability to wreck your round before it’s even got going.

Great test of golf. Not the most difficult, but testing, especially on the greens, which were the fastest greens I have ever played on (this could have been down to the course hosting a Hotel Planner event a couple of weeks before. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A fair test for all levels of golfers, course was in excellent condition with great panaramic views. Pace of golf was good, just over 4 hours 15 minutes for a four ball. Highly recommended. One comment which covers all the courses is the hiring of clubs. Each day was a separate hiring so not possible to keep the same set for all four rounds we played. The cost of hire was higher than expected/advised.

Not an easy course at all Over described especially being a Portuguese Open course. Massively waterlogged - could have been safer in wellingtons on some parts - no ball run or help from the course- in good or bad shots - whatsoever. Greens heavily sanded but still fast. Buggies not allowed on the course so the usual long walks side to side making the round longer, but even those with trollies find it hard going through the surfaces in places. 5hrs plus due to all golf being slow Least jolly staff we met. Club House not dynamic in anyway. Very refectory , very austere. Living a bit on its reputation. Might be nice in the summer or less rainy but wouldn't rush back.

The course is magnificent in design. We played on a day with on off rain and strong winds, which made it more of a challenge than in good weather conditions. The greens were excellent, and the 18th is a fabulous closing hole.

I would say Seve created a masterpiece when he made Royal Obidos. Lots of spectacular holes with water meandering down throughout the course. In superb condition with fast undulating greens. Definitely a must play. Probably my favourite of the trip.

One of the best courses Ive played, but rough on 1st play for a higher handicapper Immaculately set up, with fair par 3's and variety of holes configurations. Takes a while to get the speed of the greens and the wind makes some holes play really tough. Fairways and 1st cut areas, immaculate.

This is a challenging course with very little forgiveness. If you are able to land your ball on a postage stamp then you will enjoy a round. That's not saying the views are beautiful and the course is mint. Just very challenging.
