Oitavos Dunes Golf Course, par 71, designed by the renowned Arthur Hills, opened in 2001. It is located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, creating stunning mountain and ocean views. Arthur Hills maintained the natural characteristics of the land in this clever design and the golf course name reflects its natural sand dunes. Oitavos Dunes is truely a great golf course. There are a few trees, dunes and bunkers to avoid. Oitavos Dunes was the first golf course in Europe to receive the Audobon Gold Certificate, the top environmental certification. Oitavos Golf course is a mixture of parkland and links in some parts with rolling fairways. The greens are large and some have an unusual roll to them due to the grain line.

The golf course is certainly one of the best in mainland Europe and set to be one of the best in the world. (...)
