Narrow fairways, constant wind
Reviewed February 10, 2023
Play with rental clubs, Taylormade iVi 4.
The oldest square in Portugal. Established 1890. Second oldest golf course in continental Europe. Old Clubhouse.
A links course (on the sea side) and relatively short. Parallel tracks. The narrow fairways and the constant north wind are the main difficulties. Between the beach and the railway line. But you can't really see the sea anywhere.
The place itself is pretty run down or you could also say natural. Pretty dry, looks unkempt.
No rough, almost no water. But a lot of bushes. Interesting holes #11, par 5 and #16, par 3.
There are also people running across the field who are looking for balls. Green fee: €55 incl. trolley.
Rental clubs €30

Traditional golf

Well-maintained facility, the oldest place in Europe outside of the UK! Some natural tracks are reminiscent of how golf was played 100 years ago... the tracks are fair. Time-honoured clubhouse with shoe shine service in the surrounding area

I was expecting the sea
Reviewed October 27, 2021
The Oporto Golf Club is one of the oldest golf clubs in Porugal. It is located directly on the sea and the sea can not be seen from any point on the square. Too bad. The design of the course corresponds to its age, the fairways are close together, and usually it goes straight ahead. The fairways and greens are well maintained, the rest... well. The borrowed set of clubs consisted of 10 clubs, only the 5 wood was average, the rest less.
The appointment by telephone worked well, the local 4-way flight was easy to play through.
Price-performance ratio rather poor.

Two sides

From old Oporto links course we had a lot expected. At the end outweighed the disappointment! Many small tree clumps of bushes flank the completely flat links course. The place was unfortunately in poor maintenance condition and a redesign of the bunker and tracks would strongly do Not! The old links with the Ancients charming clubhouse had a lot of potential...!
