About the course
Links golf by the Atlantic
Designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 2001, Oitavos Dunes runs through sand dunes and umbrella pines beside the Atlantic at Cascais, about 20 minutes west of Lisbon.
It is the only Portuguese course ever ranked in Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Courses of the World (2017/18), a Platinum Club of the World since 2015, and the club calls it Europe’s first Audubon Gold Signature Sanctuary golf course.
The land has been in the Champalimaud family since 1922, when Carlos Montez Champalimaud bought Quinta da Marinha. The clubhouse restaurant sits among umbrella pines with the Atlantic beyond, cooking with local produce and dishes where the sea leads.
