Troia Golf Course

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr. A course which acutely splits opinion. Some cannot understand why more is not heard of this remote seaside course. Others think it is simply too hard and lacks charm as a result. It is not even 7,000 yards in length, giving an indication of how strong the holes (and the wind) are.

Troia Golf Championship Course is located on the Troia Peninsula, a long a flat and sandy stretch of land across the Sado Estuary, which separates the Setubal lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean, with the dramatic backdrop of the Arrabida mountain range. In this scenic location at the tip of the peninsula, lies one of the most fascinating and challenging golf course in Portugal, and it is difficult to imagine a more relaxing and perfect place to play golf. Just half an hour’s drive south of Lisbon and about two hours north of the Algarve, not overplayed and with a wild natural beauty, this gem of a course, was ranked #25 amongst Europe Top 100 Courses by British magazine "Golf World". The American golf architect Robert Trent Jones Senior, achieved a real masterpiece of golf course design at Troia, creating a true championship layout and providing a genuine test of skill for the lowers handicap golfer together with enjoyment for the more modest player. There is a nice Clubhouse, skilfully constructed in rustic style, nestling in a pine grove, with full facilities, a bar and restaurant with terrace overlooking several holes of the course and miles of unspoilt sandy beach. Accommodation is available on site at the Troia Resort, owned and operated by Sonae Turismo, who also operates the golf course, and offering a range of four stars aparthotels, with a variety of leisure and dining facilities.
