GOLF : Fast Review - Oitavos Dunes

Golf - Fast Course Review - Portugal - Oitavos Dunes

The First hole at Oitavos Dunes

Was rated in top 100 courses in the world in 2015 (58th).

The course is in a fantastic setting and built just off the coastal road west of Cascais amongst sand dunes and rugged terrain. 

Stay Straight....

However the condition of the course was generally disappointing. The greens were not in good condition and slow.

The place has a very corporate feel about the it with new hotel and therefore increased footfall which might account for the scruffiness of the course. 

That said, there are some wonderful holes and views that make the walk worthwhile and a must if you are planning a trip here.
