Quinta do Peru Golf Course

The Course

18 Holes - Par 73 - 6,640 yards

Quinta do Peru is set in the Azeitão region between Sesimbra and Setubal, and is a huge favourite with UK golfers.

The American architect Rocky Roquemore was responsible for the project and has designed a course for amateur golfers. However, it also represents a challenge for professional players.

The course, with its many trees and wild flowers, offers a varied start, for the first three holes are all Par 5; then a Par 4 over 386 metres; and Par 3 over 186 meters.

The next nine holes are even more difficult. Take for example hole number 12, a Par 4 that, despite not being very long, has a lake running beside the fairway down to the green. Then comes what is probably the most difficult test on the course, hole 16, a Par 3 over 200 metres, where one needs to get over a lake to reach the green. After eighteen holes there is a number of golf-related activities avail-able and also a clubhouse providing excellent views over the surrounding landscape, with the imposing and beautiful Arrabida mountain range in the background.
