With the Arrabida mountains as its backdrop, the Quinta do Peru Golf Course, near Lisbon, Portugal, was rated among the top 100 courses by Golf World magazine and offers amateurs a pleasant game whilst also presenting a challenge for professionals.
With its many trees and wild flowers, the layout of the Quinta do Peru Golf Course provides a good test with astute bunkering, true-rolling and quick greens. Among the first nine holes of the Quinta do Peru Golf Course, attention is drawn to the short 8th hole that has a lake in front of its green.
The next nine holes are even more difficult. Hole number 12, a Par 4, despite not being very long, has a lake running beside the fairway down to the green. Next comes hole 16, a Par 3 of 178 meters, where players need to hit over a lake to reach the green.
