The splendor of the early years has faded
Reviewed January 16, 2024
We played the time-honored course today. Ok, the weather has been rainy the last few days. But regardless, the place was in very poor condition. Greens were mostly brown, fairways were unkempt and dilapidated. What we found very disturbing was the noise from the motorway, which partly ran parallel. There was no compressed air or any other way to clean his shoes or rackets. A pity.

Estoril is a wonderful old golf course that winds tightly through the pine trees!

Time-honoured place with dusty charm
Reviewed March 30, 2023
The tracks are beautifully laid out and the greens are challenging. The place is easily accessible on foot. The shuttle service to hole 16 is very convenient. All the staff (reception, office, restaurant, greenkeeper, pro shop) are very friendly, nice, courteous and helpful. The place has certainly seen better days. Everything is getting a bit old. The condition was good in March 2023.

Great Place
Reviewed June 9, 2022
Yes, in some places you can see that there have been better times and that the ravages of time are gnawing. But in our personal ranking, he has ousted Montecatini Therme from first place. Very nice courses, well laid out, always something for the eye and the sometimes short par 4 also allow for a birdie for amateur golfers like us. We had a lot of fun and would definitely recommend the place. You were welcome as a guest! We also recommend the sandwich at the halfway station on lane 12. If you're nearby: play there!

The shine is gone
Reviewed April 13, 2022
If you were to rate the place based on its practice facility, a star would be flattered. We were surprised that the completely rusted ball machine even released ancient balls.
In terms of architecture, the place is very good, but the condition has fallen further since my last visit 5 years ago.
The greens are still fast but frayed, the bunkers are filled with different types of sand and are desolate. You can feel that the shine is gone and there is URGENT need to get the place back in shape. Considering that was a PGA course.

Time-honoured place
Reviewed March 3, 2022
The traditional course is well laid out with challenging holes. Discounts often elevated, but with enough space on the fairways. However, you have to play with your brain every now and then because the holes are rather short. The greens are damn fast and challenging. The place is walkable, even if other opinions can be read, even if the shuttle service breaks down at 16. That's why a point deduction.

Town square with lots of charm
Reviewed October 20, 2021
We liked the round of golf. Due to the recommendation on the go with a cart, the frequent waiting was not annoying either. At 5189 m of white, the course is short, but still challenging. Our teammates were long hitters with a weak short game. This is definitely the wrong equipment for this place. The very fast and undulating greens can drive players to despair. The par 3s were more difficult than average. We will be back.

Pure tradition
Reviewed April 26, 2019
A beautiful place with old trees in which it is sometimes vigorously up and down. A cart is highly recommended, even if there is a great shuttle service between the 16 and 17 up the mountain. Highway and racetrack have hardly bothered us. The place was in early April in a very good condition. In some places green and tee of the following lane were quite close to each other. No wonder in the narrow edge development. We enjoyed the day and at the end the great view from the clubhouse towards the sea.

Place with flair!
Reviewed April 13, 2019
Old English atmosphere, wonderful vegetation, with some nice bites on Estoril. The highway does not really bother and you get used to the noise of the Motodrom.
The fact that you do not value visitors as much as you can see from the division of restaurants into guests and members as well as the minimalistically equipped Proshop. Worthwhile historical 90 years old place.

Beautiful and varied parkland golf course
Reviewed April 11, 2019
I played this varied parkland golf course in January 2018. On the whole a beautiful place with lots of old trees, in places quite hilly, the place was well maintained and the greens are often elevated and undulating and very fast. Holes 9-11 run along the highway. Not only that it is very loud here, they do not fit in any way to the course design.
Conclusion: a place that is definitely worth playing and offers the challenge and fun.

Historic place with good twilight rate
Reviewed September 15, 2018
Played September 2018, HCP14 This clubhouse, located almost in the village, breathes the charm of a bygone era. Whether it likes, that restaurant access is only possible with a long leg dress, everyone may decide for themselves ;-) The bar as an alternative golf club has typical prices with a lot of uninspired cuisine.
The course is a rather short parkland course, which leads to the game of white. As a result, some PAR3 offer a very sophisticated look of tea. Overall, the fairways are wide enough and even stray balls can be saved from the pine due to lack of further growth. Some deep fairway bunkers give the rather short tracks seasoning. Greens were very fast but took spin. Care condition 2+. Irrigation was certainly not waived. Twilight rate booked online via a portal of 44 euros for this place very cheap. Cart could be recommended because of hilly layout and the sometimes long ways for some.
We would play again but only use the bar for drinks.

Great parkland course
Reviewed May 31, 2018
From care state actually only 4 stars: especially the yellow haircuts are sometimes quite uneven and played. Next time I would refuse White, the tea boxes are better in there and the place is not very long anyway. The greens, however, absolutely great, the fairways are very well maintained. Placed game is required to play a good score, now and then the wind intervenes abruptly into the game... that cost me at least 4 strokes on four lanes. Altogether an absolute recommendation in particular for the so-called twilight tariff for 41 € (over various portals bookable) ...! I was almost alone on the field and completed the lap in 3:15 hours.

Varied golf course
Reviewed May 1, 2018
If necessary, pre-book golf car!
Overall, well-maintained golf course, the two-way crossing of the highway is not disturbing - especially since you are driven from hole 16 to 17.
The greens are fast - but have enough bite for pitch marks when properly played.
Extensive tree population - nevertheless, all fairways are big and wide enough.
Signposting easy to understand and sufficient distance markers. When it rains the bunkers are hard.
We played four golf courses in this region this week - Estoril is the best in the package.

Interesting - but frustrating
Reviewed October 31, 2017
Very nice and interesting place, mostly elevated greens. The challenge was extremely difficult, because they were extremely fast and it was difficult to bring the ball to rest. The condition is not optimal, sometimes superficial cross-growing grass roots.
Negative: restaurant separate for members and guests

Traditional
Reviewed November 7, 2016
The Estoril Palacio Golf Club is located in the hinterland west of Lisbon amid the dense development around Estoril, resulting in that despite the now well ingrown fairways often have visual contact with the surrounding buildings.
The course is not very long with PAR 69, but requires the diverse fairways precise game because the outlet is limited right and left.
The difficulty of the course was increased in November 2016 by the lightning-fast greens that surely lay on Tour level.
As experience interesting but playable for most amateur golfers hardly without frustration.
Outside the fairways had the place not overly neat, which is certainly due to the fact that here probably mainly playing members who put priority on the actual game.
The clubhouse dates back to the founding year and has the feel of a long-established golf clubs.
Guests and members use different restaurant areas. Members may use the upstairs terrace, while guests to make do with the basement must take. The offer of catering was not used by us to complete.
If you can live with one or other restrictions and can not be put off by the fast greens, you will find a traditional golf club, the worth playing quite.

Varied course
Reviewed November 15, 2015
It was the first golf course, we played in Portugal namely on 06.11.2015 at 24 ° C and sunshine. The place is very nicely laid out with mature trees, very varied, as well as challenging tracks. Since it had rained most days in advance very much, the fairways were soggy and sometimes in a not very good condition. Very positive we noticed the service. On hole 16 someone who brought over the highway to the hole 17 with his buggy the players and their bags waiting.

Parkland
Reviewed February 15, 2015
A beautifully landscaped area with many trees and bushes. Not very long, but tricky to play. Not necessarily something for long hitters. Staff is very courteous and helpful. It is the only place in Europe, I know where the Caddy culture is still alive; recommended. A cart is recommended for older golfers as the transition from track 8 by 9 and 17:16 is caused by the relatively long golf course sheared A16.
The carts are available but although aged in excellent Condition.
We were in February on the court, which is the dead of winter in Portugal. The fairways were a bit muddy in places due to the weather, which was funded by the very short cut. The greens were cut down to the ground despite the weather and do not bite. Furthermore, they were cut over his shoulder ebnso, which leads in the partially strongly undulated structure, that even with a gentle downhill put the balls meter wide roll onto the fairway. This will hopefully be in the growing season differently.
Overall, a very interesting and varied course with the jahreszeitlih related problems.

GC Estoril, Portugal
Reviewed December 5, 2012
On 5.12.2012 Estoril played at a pleasant 17 degrees. The place is a bit scruffy, the highway passes through the space (over bridge to cross) is quite getting used to).
Still, 4 stars because of very beautiful landscape defined in the fairways, is created for each individual and unmistakable; to beautiful views of Lisbon, the Tagus and the Atlantic coast.

Golf do Estoril - one of the oldest golf clubs in Portugal
Reviewed December 19, 2011
Lisbon in December 2011, the 27-hole course (par 69) was originally built in 1947 by Mackenzie Ross. For men (yellow) 5238m and women (red) of the course is 4569 meters long and very hilly. Upon arrival, overlooking the magnificent clubhouse, you feel transported by the time machine to 1947. The building is so authentic surroundings, the front doors have the patina itself. Without a doubt, the golfer is demanded in the beautifully ingrown Golf Course tactics, court knowledge as well as clever choice of the racket. Often both the front nine and the back nine let the driver used. Undulating greens make putts auslippen before.
To be allowed to play the course in December at 18 degrees is a real benefit.
The view is in all holes a "NEW" discover the nature of pine, eucalyptus and mimosa trees. Some par 3 holes have it in them eg. Hole 8 Par 3 with 197 m (yellow) (red) 179m represent a real challenge
Similarly, the hole 16, a par 3 (yellow) 161m (red) 125 m is applied so tricky that you must first played over a ravine with bushes and shrubs in depth. However, so long that non-local golfers usually end up in Gestrüb or the ball bounces off the rock and jump across. Who may bring home a good score, bay located just a caddy.
Golf do Estoril lives classical nobility and is legendary caddies, the earlier years for PGA player caddies were known. You are always willing to give up the secrets of the place known and good advice which you should use blow. After all, the Portuguese Open and 62 times International Amateur Championship was held here 29 times.
On the Golf do Estoril no buggies are allowed, so a good condition on the beautiful scenic place is appropriate. Some years ago he was converted because of the highway and the holes were even more difficult. Striking is the loving vegetable-based side around the clubhouse.
From the clubhouse you can look out on the putting green and a tasty meal can reloading lost pounds on the round.
18-hole green fee in high season varies between weekdays and weekends € 57 € 71

Blue Course - super affordable round of golf!
Reviewed September 11, 2011
We have played on 5.9.11 the Blue Course (9 holes). First of all the negative points: around the green, but uneven fairways (various herbs ...) is the place "Southern European" - dusty, dried-grass, sand. The paths between the tracks are bumpy and poorly maintained. The greens, however - top class, but not very fast very well maintained.
The tracks are mostly quite challenging (hilly, slopes) but not too long - definitely the Blue Course is a "real" 9-hole course and short course no.
I distribute 4 stars because it probably comes nowhere cheaper in the area to play golf - from 13 clock you can play on weekdays for 10 € (in words TEN!) As often as you want. Ideal for training and the subsequent beer in the clubhouse is also very reasonably priced.
