The place is a monster!
Reviewed October 31, 2023
Very, very nice links course right by the sea, with wonderful views. Typical links course, with many challenging holes. The biggest challenge is the wind. Then the place becomes a monster and demands all your skills. Still a lot of fun. And sure, Kingsbarns is a bit better, but also four times more expensive.

Nice left north of Porto
Reviewed October 5, 2023
40 minutes north of Porto is this beautiful links course that is worth the journey. Although there are no outstanding holes, they are very classic with some great views, great fairways and very fast greens. Great fun. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed on Mondays. - !

Place with a sea view
Reviewed May 23, 2023
A very beautiful and absolutely perfectly maintained place. The staff is extremely friendly and the restaurant is also recommended. Due to the relative narrow terrain, the lanes are very close together and careful play is required. In addition, the tracks are sometimes quite narrow. Together with strong wind, only perfectly hit balls are fun. All in all a recommendable place.

Beautiful Round

Course and greens were in good condition. Some of the tracks directly parallel to the beach and beautiful views of the sea.

Average - not more
Reviewed March 28, 2018
The place including the clubhouse and changing room definitely has its best years. In April 2018 the course was - except the greens - in a very moderate condition. Reductions, fairways, etc. a maximum of 3 stars, clubhouse and locker room also. If one forgives the maximum points for such a place I ask how one should evaluate then for example Tralee or Kingsbarns.

Always very nice
Reviewed October 19, 2017
I have reviewed the place more often and extensively or better "advertised". Not only by the proximity but above all, and the original left-golf character of one of my absolute favorite places.
A drought cap in October of this year was the drought of the fairways - not without reason it burned again several times in the north of Portugal. The fairways were tight and good to play, but it was often as if you were off a brown mat.
The greens, on the other hand, were again quick and fast. Here the few water was well invested.

Top Links
Reviewed August 28, 2017
An extremely well maintained and fantastically designed golf course.
Situated directly on the coast, this place is the most breathtaking place in the north of Portugal.
The state of care is 1a, the layout varied and with the actually prevailing wind also for very good handicaps not easy to play.
The Gasto is very cheap and still very good.
Always a unique experience to play here.
Can only recommend to everyone.

Top place on the beach, links-like with regular greens
Reviewed June 20, 2017
I played yesterday with my wife and two local seniors. A magical place. The adjoining beach is incredibly beautiful, as is the square. Fairways, tee-offs and greens were in very good condition. The greens were watered, soft, very good to play. They could be a tad harder and tense, but I criticize a high level here.
The place is quite tight, accurate game is very beneficial.
I have seen better details in the design, nevertheless it should be 4.5 stars for the place. In the clubhouse and on the square all the people were very friendly. The changing rooms and rooms are on the same level on the ground floor and unfortunately it smells like grass. The changing rooms are already somewhat antique and should be better renovated.
Regular green fee for guests is 75 € on all days, Buggie 35 €. Invitations and some local hotels result in discounts.

Just great!
Reviewed November 6, 2016
I played on 06/11/2016 the place and he deserves nothing but the 5 star rating. The staff at the pro shop and the club members, with whom I had contact with were all very friendly and helpful. Also there was no start times and I had the feeling that they can enjoy a stress-free and relaxed atmosphere. Then of course! A left course of superlatives. Fairways and greens in a very good condition, it was like a velvet carpet. The webs were mostly very narrow, precise gaming made it necessary, just in stormy weather. Almost all of the tracks had a fantastic view of the Atlantic.
In no club restaurant I've ever eaten so well as here; with a very good value for money and a great view of the Atlantic. This place is an experience for every golfer!

Permanently beautiful and interesting place
Reviewed July 25, 2016
As such, one could forgive 18 stars - for each lane a.
Located directly on the Atlantic Ocean is Estela a real links course - with a lot of wind, sand and dunes. Too bad the last windmill last year then completely broke in the storm. Most tracks are quite narrow and off the fairways goes difficulties ahead. Since my second Schlägersätz includes no wood, I do not get driven into the embarrassment to have. Without FW-wood of course is the other way around as well as long - with the result that I played only once better than my handicap (-9.1).
I play the place regularly for years and he always shows up in a perfect conditions. As long is not a tournament, it is also very spontaneous and short on space.
Always a pleasure! Top price-performance ratio and for me the most beautiful place in northern Portugal.

A wild beauty
Reviewed April 24, 2012
We were there in mid-April., In light winds and a mix of rain and sunshine. The reception was simple and speedy manner. The site is located in the dunes, right on a wild beach, a typical course left rough and open, undulating, sometimes narrow, with very fair greens. Most of the tracks are sea view. It is nice that no holiday housing developments directly adjacent, only villages are visible in the distance. Fairways and greens were in perfect condition.
See, in the rest of us played places Estela was pleasantly normal, no trimmed for high throughput and profit golf industry plant, but a beautiful, peaceful place with a mostly local clientele. The price-performance ratio for our AAA.

Not without pitfalls!
Reviewed July 3, 2011
The course runs practically on top of the ridge along. You play 9 holes parallel to each other, the club house is in the middle. The condition of the fairways and greens is excellent. There is no doglegs wg. lack of breadth, but this will require very accurate tee shots and drives and the. on a windy coast Balls are hardly recover in the rough. Suitable for camping friends because large campsite in 1 km distance.
