Positioned along Portugal’s Silver Coast, Royal Óbidos Golf Course stands out for both its scale and its setting – the perfect addition for your next Portugal golf holiday. The course shifts between inland views of the lagoon and more exposed stretches overlooking the Atlantic, which gives the round a slightly different character as it progresses.
For those building a Lisbon golf holiday, Royal Óbidos tends to be one of the more memorable rounds, partly for the layout itself, partly for how the setting evolves from start to finish.
About Royal Obidos
Championship Links-Influenced | Length: 6,695 m | Par: 72
Designed by Seve Ballesteros, Royal Óbidos Golf Course measures just under 6,700 metres from the back tees and provides a well-balanced test that suits both experienced players and those looking for a more forgiving round from the right tees.
The opening hole, a gentle dogleg, eases you into the round before the front nine begins to open out towards the Óbidos lagoon. One of the early highlights is the par-3 3rd, where an island green sits against the water, creating a hole that is as visual as it is demanding.
The back nine shifts towards the Atlantic, and the character of the course changes slightly. Water becomes more influential, with a network of lakes and streams shaping several holes, while the more open setting brings the wind into play.
The closing stretch builds naturally towards the par-5 18th, a long but fair finishing hole with views back across the course, the clubhouse, and the coastline beyond, providing a strong end without feeling overworked.
Clubhouse and Amenities
The clubhouse at Royal Óbidos is modern and well-equipped, with a restaurant, lounge areas, and two bars providing plenty of space to relax after your round. Large windows and an open terrace make the most of the views across the course and surrounding landscape.
Facilities include a pro shop, practice areas, and storage options, giving golfers everything needed for a comfortable day on site. The terrace in particular is a popular spot, especially later in the day when the light drops over the Atlantic and the course takes on a slightly different feel.
For nearby accommodation, golfers can stay at the Evolutee Hotel, Óbidos, offering contemporary design, high-end facilities, and direct access to the course for a seamless golf stay.
