Being the most recent golf course on the Estoril
coast and covering 60 hectares (150 acres), it is situated half way
between Cascais and Sintra (25 kms from Lisbon). The project was the
work of American architect Rocky Roquemore.
Quinta da Beloura,
offers a pleasant game without being too exhausting. The eighteen
holes, which give excellent views over the Serra de Sintra mountain
range, total a distance of 5, 878mts. (6,430yds.) Par 72.

Along the fairways, 40,000 various tree species
have been planted such as oak, pine, palm, cedar, and magnolias. Thus
giving each hole a beautiful frame-work of trees, this ambiance is
enhanced, by the many lakes. |

|
|
The holes with water hazards are those which
a lot of players will find the most challenging. For instance: the
16th. and 17th. are parallel, and their narrow fairways are separated
by a lake. Both holes demand very precise driving.
At the 18th., Par 4 and 384mts.(420yds) long, the green is protected
by the largest lake and provides an exciting climax to the round.
