The aim of Oitavos Golfe was to create one of the finest golf experiences in Europe, all within the elegant natural framework inherent to Quinta da Marinha. The architect of the course, Arthur Hills felt that with a site so rich in innate beauty, each hole must fit ideally in the setting, thus assuring a natural appearance with variety and charm.
The admirable concept is now a stunningly beautiful golf course using the natural terrain to its very best. Distant views of the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Sintra mountains are distinguishable from every hole. Each hole on this 6303 metre, par 71 course contributes to a cohesive statement and unique golf experience that is known as Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golfe.
Accomplished golfers will relish the tight fairways, variety of holes and tricky greens all immaculately maintained with no expense spared. Lesser golfers will still enjoy the scenery and condition of this course but will struggle to score. A highly recommended golf experience, Oitavos is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the very best courses in Europe.
Oitavos also has probably one of the most chic, stylish and modern clubhouses to be seen anywhere with excellent bar and restaurant facilities, changing rooms and a shop. The excellence of the surroundings is matched by the staff's service and attention to detail.
