Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golfe
lies within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. It is the
heart of the Quinta da Marinha, being developed by Miguel
Champalimaud.
Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golfe is 30 minutes from Lisbon
airport. It is set among pine woods and reforested dunes,
in an area of great natural beauty, surrounded by the
Sintra mountains to the North and by the Atlantic Ocean
to the South and West.
There is no better description of the golf course than
the one made by the Architect Arthur Hills: "Our
goal was to create one of the finest golf experiences
in Europe, all within the elegant natural and historical
framework inherent to the Quinta. Opportunities such
as this are rare. We felt that with a site so rich in
innate beauty, each hole must fit ideally in the setting,
thus assuring a natural appearance with variety and
charm.
At Oitavos Golfe we are blessed with three distinct
landscape forms; forested area (with the most beautiful
umbrella pine trees in the world), dunes land, and the
more open, coastal transition areas. The course has
been carefully routed to take advantage of all three
zones, featuring all of their distinct characteristics.
The routing is a continuous loop of holes, nine out
and nine in, similar to links land courses in Scotland.
The sequence is an undisturbed golf experience from
start to finish. Distant views of the Atlantic Ocean
and the nearby Hills of Sintra are distinguishable from
every hole.
