Played here twice this week and reckon this is the most difficult course in the area. A test for even the most proficient of golfers. The staff were great and very helpful.
If you are of an older generation like us I recommend buggies and you will thank us by the time you get from the 1st green to the 2nd tee that involves a long and pretty steep climb. We found the whole course picturesque, with some nice views over the lagoon. Some wonderful holes with water, whilst lovely to look at, have an appetite to swallow golf balls. Course was soft in places highlighted by flags following some heavy rain. Despite the heavy conditions we had a most enjoyable experience and will certainly return again. This was the last of 6 games booked with teetimes.pt and we were very pleased with how easy the process was and how efficient they were with all the bookings.

Great golf course, some strange holes and greens very fast.
Paul Richard
Great course. Challenge at all levels
Pasi Stenberg
Really nice layout and condition was ok - there was a heavy rain and that´s why it was not so good, but we like it.
John Nevin
Best course we played with excellent greens. Quite tough. Well worth the trip up from Estoril. Only negative was a bit of sea fog on the back nine.
Jon Thorpe
Excellent! Challenging and stunning…
Marinel van melis
Nice golfcourse. Very friendly People
Mike Hetherington
The course was in exceptional condition, specially the greens which were the best we've played them in years
Mike Sykes
The course was in magnificent condition and along with fast greens made it a very enjoyable round.
Steve James
Outstanding facility, and amazing golf course. Course was rated 9/10 by our grip of 6. Great carts.
Romain Fritz
perfect golf course. No critics
Simon Kaye
We played the course the week after the Portuguese Open was hosted at Royal Obidos and it was in exceptional condition
Erich Moestl
Great course in perfect conditions, however very challenging greens. As most of the other clubs, carts without cooler and drinks.
Paul Merryweather
Great course. Friendly and helpful staff. Greens maintenance work in progress so putting surfaces not the best.
Tim Thompson
Tough course need to use a buggy
David Peters
No buggies available
Jana Poettgen
Best course around this area!
Richard white
The course was in excellent condition, both fairways and greens. Be aware there are many shots needed over water into greens, a typical Seve course I’m told, if water is not your “thing” then might be worth avoiding, or take lots of golf balls, HOWEVER , it is a very good course.
Stephen Hawkes
Royal Obidos is much more like the courses we play at home. Two very different halves. The front nine goes into a valley that has some interesting tight holes, then it's onto the back nine, which is much more open, but has some interesting holes which involve carrying over water. Definitely worth playing along with West Cliff, which is only a few minutes away. The clubhouse is not very inviting, and is more like a viewing area of the course, but we were staying at the hotel and returned there for a drink and snack after our round.
Frank Haidinger
Course in excellent conditions. Very friendly staff. Played it twice, each time more than 5 hours. Should have some more buggies.
Anthony Bull
Nice course but seemed to be overwatered so very soggy in places
Roger Jungwirth
A very beautiful, exciting golf course with a few challenges. Greens were perfect and very fast at the beginning of June.
Michael Werner Sutter
Our favourite course in Portugal

richard may
Played 3 courses West Cliffs.. Praia and Obidos.. all great and enjoyable.. thanks to Teetimes for their organisation
Raimondas Balciunas
The golf course at the Royal Óbidos really good in all aspects: maintenance and quality, complexity, well-maintained environment and great views. It is definitely worth playing more than once.
This is truly a royal golf club...very neat surroundings, new buggies, excellent quality courses and pleasant service. One of the best golf courses in the region and in all of Portugal. Of course, the golf course itself is not easy, like all Seve Ballesteros designed golf courses. Despite various adventures in order to play as well as possible, we had a very good time.
Georgia Richards
The excessive rain had made the ground extremely soggy. Balls were getting plugged in fairways and some lost. Unplayable on first day, in a lot of places our feet were sinking.
Next round the ground had dried out a little.
Raimondas Balciunas
Very nice and pretty golf course. Good maintented, perfect condition fairways and greens. We were very sactifacted...recomendations!
David Ford
An enjoyable course however it was very wet in places and as a result the hire of a buggy proved rather pointless as it had to stay of the paths
Richarz Frank
Empty and in good condition for January
Johannes Vreeker
Very nice course, well maintained
Moritz Hartmann
Everything was perfect. Thank you Telma again and we are happy to be booking again for next year! great service and perfect travel experience. kindest regards Moritz
Samantha Harding
Given the recent weather we knew the course would be wet in places, but we didn't expect to find the fairways longer than the rough in the UK!! That said, the greens were in excellent condition but the tee boxes certainly needed some attention.
James Cliffe
Greens were excellent. Fairways were terrible. Like a swamp. We lost balls on the fairways that disappeared underground.
Peter Smith
Poor weather again. Course not as well presented as they would have liked. Lots of mowing had left wet grass cuttings and somewaht untidy areas on the course.
Andrew Denton
Once again the pace of play was very slow until we asked the Course Marshall on several occasion to hurry people up. 5 plus hours is too long. The course is a championship course that they allow beginners to take hours over playing.
Dirk Ballegeer
Super golf course
Brian Hegarty
Loved it. Always do. Best manicured and fairest golf club in the immediate region. Always a pleasure to play.
Miriam

Patrick Murphy

Joseph Ivy
Great golf course with exception of one dogleg right par 4. Greens were excellent. Fairways in excellent condition. Clubhouse was adequate. Caddymaster was such a nice guy.
Xiaoyan huang
Staff is friendly. The course itself is really nicely maintained. Wonderful view! Interesting holes (with obstacles, e.g. pond). We would like to play one more round before we head back home. Clubs and trolleys can be kept there free of charge.
Due to the preparation of the Portuguese Open, buggy is not allowed to be on the course. This is a slightly negative point but understandable.
We like everything. The hotel itself is great too.
Rico Fernandez
So easy to book with teetimes.pt love this website
Graham Childs
Really good condition, tough with lots of water, 18 great holes
Mark Parsons
Wonderful course in great condition, particularly when you compare it to others in the area which have had similar heavy rain.
Paul Owen Davies
Great golf course in fantastic conation
Geers
Great Golf course. Beautiful lay out. Amazing views.
David Bryant
Played the course twice this week and it remains a firm favourite. Lots of challenging holes with water that the brave and stupid can go for. The second is my favourite hole of golf anywhere.
Bernard Butler
On arrival at RO I was informed there were no buggies for me and they were all booked out all day.I showed my confirmation from tee times -but she said tee times had not booked any buggies for me.i have had a total knee replacement and cannot walk 18 holes.As we were playing at 08.30 and the course was empty i was able to persuade her that we would get round quickly [ 3 and a half hours in fact ].So we did get 2 buggies at 47 euro each.The course was fantastic yet again
Gary McDonald
Excellent. Golf course was superb.
Alexander Bedford
Long course. Very challenging. Love 14 and 18. Not sure where you're supposed to aim on 12!
Gary Watts
Booking including buggies was all in order. Thankyou. The course was great including the greens. Food and service was again excellent.
Dr. Walter Kremer
nice course, as good as praia del Rey
Gerry Foley
Really challenging course , great design and in very good condition, lovely greens . Staff in clubhouse were very efficient and friendly.

Miguel Sousa
Atendimento, disponibilidade e simpatia excelente! Nada a apontar. -**- Excellent service, availability and friendliness! Nothing to write home about.
Tom Lawlor
Excellent course in super condition
Bruce Reardon
A beautiful challenging golf course in perfect condition.The reception staff were very friendly and accommodating.Food was excellent in the restaurant.
Only negative remark would be the beer was warm on the mobile buggy bar with limited selection of refreshments and he was only around once.Buggies were very standard with no GPS,cooler with ice or divot mix.
A very enjoyable experience.
Nigel Taylor
Good golf course with nice facilities
Joachim Zeeb
Interesting new golf course, needs some time, modern Clubhouse, practice facility need a short game area for training with groups. Rangeballs quality and quantity not worth.
