The Estoril Championship Course started in 1929 and was redesigned in 1936 by Mackenzie Ross. It is known as one of the oldest and most emblematic clubs in Portugal.

Over the years, Estoril Golf Club has suffered continuous improvements and renovations to keep up with modern standards of excellence. Nowadays, it is a highly interesting golf course with a traditional flair.

Overlooking Estoril and the sea, the 5313 meters long course is set amongst eucalyptus, pine and mimosa trees, giving it a uniquely colourful touch. The architect and the successive green keepers have made excellent use of these various trees which, together with the uneven terrain, make the Estoril Golf Course challenging in terms of accuracy rather than distance. The Estoril Golf Course, near Lisbon, demands excellent tactics. The visually stunning par 3 holes, although they vary in length, all pose particular challenges.

The hole 16 of Estoril Golf Course is internationally well known, a Par 3 of 185 meters.
