Set on a narrow peninsula south of Lisbon, Troia Golf Course feels a little removed from the usual routes, which is part of its appeal. Reaching it involves a short ferry crossing from Setúbal, followed by a quick transfer, and that extra step tends to keep it quieter than many of the more accessible courses in the region – perfect for your next Portugal golf holiday.
The setting is difficult to match. The course sits between the Atlantic Ocean, the Sado Estuary, and the Arrábida mountains, which gives the round a shifting backdrop that changes from hole to hole.
For golfers willing to make the short journey, Troia offers something slightly different on a Lisbon golf break.
About Troia Golf Course
Style: Links-Influenced Parkland | Length: 6,317 m | Par: 72
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., Troia Golf Course is often regarded as one of his finest layouts, making full use of the peninsula’s natural landscape. Fairways wind through pine trees with a series of well-shaped doglegs, while consistent bunkering and raised greens place emphasis on accuracy and positioning.
From the back tees, the course stretches to just under 7,000 yards and offers a strong challenge, though multiple tee options ensure it remains accessible to a range of players. Coastal winds can also influence play, particularly on the more exposed holes.
The par-4 3rd is one of the standout holes, combining a demanding approach with open sea views. Troia has hosted the Portuguese Open and is ranked among the top courses in continental Europe, reflecting both its difficulty and overall design quality.
