Situated
near Rio Maior, some 60 kilometres to the north of Lisbon,
the Quinta do Brinçal Clube de Golfe is the newest
jewel of Portuguese golf.
Designed by the American architect Rocky Roquemore,
the course covers 90 hectares, and is framed by a landscape
in which stone-pines, eucalyptuses and acacias stand
out.
Its design is typical of the modern North American school,
which means target golf is the most important point.
The course totals 6,200 metres of championship tees
for a par 72 (36+36).
On the first round, look out for the hole number 6,
a par 4 at 363 metres, in which the golfer has to hit
the second shot over some trees placed strategically
in front of the fairway. On the second round, pay attention
to hole number 12 (378 metres). Here, in order to get
a par 4, the player has to make a second shot over the
water onto a not very deep green.
