- Aroeira Golf Course I
On the south bank of the tagus river, 20 minutes from lisbon, are the aroeira i and aroeira ii golf courses. Aroeira golf resort is located on a 345-acre estate on lisbon's 30-kilometer-long caparica coast. The aroeira golf course in portugal, designed by frank pennick, skillfully combines the needs of a championship golf course with the harmonious surroundings of natural scenery.
The aroeira i golf course, located near lisbon, measures 6.080 meters and needs excellent precision and positioning off the tee to maximize chances of hitting the greens in regulation. The aroeira golf course also presents a number of game situations; on the first round, hole 8 stands out for its 190-meter par 3 and a green that has a special inclination.
The highlight of the second round at aroeira i golf course is hole 11, a par 4 that was redesigned by robert trent jones. The tee-off is a blind shot into a short fairway flanked on both sides by trees. It's accompanied by a dazzling approach to a green guarded by water and bunkers, reminiscent of hole 11 at augusta national, the u.s. open's home course. Those that are masters.
The portugal open was held at aroeira i golf course near lisbon, portugal, in 1996 and 1997, as well as numerous ladies european tour tournaments and the european men's club trophy in 2013.
