Porto & the North

Heritage club · Est. 1936Why groups love it
Centenary trees and elevated tees in the grounds of a historic palace hotel.
A quiet, green, deeply civilised morning of golf in the hills, with elevated tees that flatter almost everybody. The palace grounds make it an easy day for non-golfers, who can take the spa or the gardens while the group plays. We often pair it with an afternoon in the Douro for groups who want one memorable day away from the coast.
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.”
