Royal Óbidos – Designed by Seve Ballesteros to integrate with the natural surroundings, the 18 holes championship golf course is settled into the very hilly landscape which is slowly falling off towards the ocean. This 6,400 meters has been home to the Challenge Tour already for several years. There are stunning sea views which make the Royal Obidos an attractive course to play but it will also present a testing time for golfers of all levels. The first hole, a right handed dogleg, heads north, setting up a spectacular combination of holes overlooking the Lagoa de Óbidos. The feature hole of the front nine is the 3rd, a Par 3 off to an island green, with the stunning lagoon in the background. The second nine holes overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Six of the holes meander between an intricate ecosystem of lakes interconnected by cascading streams. The highlight of the back nine is the 18th, with a panoramic over the back nine, the clubhouse and the Ocean beyond. The tees are often well above the fairways, making the holes exposed to the wind and adding challenging conditions to the fun.
