Porto & the North
Estela Golf Club · Póvoa de Varzim
Why groups love it
Three kilometres of Atlantic dunes, fast greens and a relentless sea breeze.
This is the round your low handicappers will want on the itinerary, with the wind turning every club choice into a conversation. Higher handicappers still enjoy it if we start them from forward tees and keep the format a team one. The ocean is in view from almost every hole, so the photographs are as good as the scores are honest.
From our groups
“We’ve taken golf trips to Scotland and Ireland, but this was the smoothest by far. Portugal Magik arranged every tee time at Monte Rei, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, and our clubs were always waiting at the bag drop. Our driver knew the quickest routes and some excellent seafood spots. The eight of us are already planning next year.”
“Four couples, with half of us golfing and half not, could have been complicated. Instead, everything worked perfectly. The golfers played Oitavos Dunes and Penha Longa while the others explored Sintra with a wonderful guide, then we all met for dinner in Cascais. Not one detail was missed.”
