ESTORIL-SOL

 

Estoril Sol is a beautiful nine hole course offering golfers a challenge that is both pleasurable and varied. Its extensive practice range is one of the best in the country, allowing sportsmen to develop all aspects of their game.
 
The nine holes of Estoril-Sol, set between Sintra's historic beauty and Estoril's more modern environment, provide an amusing game. For good players, it is an ideal course on which to practice with short irons, while for players with a bigger handicap it provides an opportunity to end with an encouraging score. Because of its quality and the surrounding landscape, Estoril-Sol has been described as one of the most beautiful nine-hole golf courses in Europe.

Different tees for first and second rounds provide variants for those wishing to play a full 18 holes. If so, they should score a total of par 66 (33+33). Beyond the course itself lies a full practice area, where the golfer can work on all aspects of his game, with tees and greens suitable for long, medium and short woods and irons. Chipping and bunker tactics have not been forgotten either.

Also for practice, there is an excellent putting-green built according to USGA specifications.
