Overlooking the Atlantic on Portugal’s Silver Coast, Royal Óbidos Golf Course is a modern championship layout with wide-ranging sea views. Designed by Seve Ballesteros and opened in 2012, this par-72 course combines open, links-inspired holes with more sheltered inland stretches.

Generous fairways provide opportunities from the tee, but strategically placed bunkers and large, undulating greens ensure approach play remains demanding. Wind can be a significant factor, particularly on the elevated coastal holes. The routing makes full use of the natural terrain, creating variety throughout the round. For those considering a golf break near Óbidos and the Lisbon region, Royal Óbidos offers a scenic and well-balanced test.
