On the Green at the Oitavos

A contemporary, family-run hotel perfectly framed by sand dunes and pine trees, its famous golf course, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is rated as one of the world’s finest.

The 18 hole links course was designed by world renowned landscape architect Arthur Hills and often hosts famous faces. A big highlight of the course is the back to back par 3’s on the back nine, the 14th & 15th which both require quality golf shots. WHEREVER take a closer look

Hole 4

Another relatively short par four. A north wind can change the hole dramatically. To keep shots in the fairway aim down the left side. The green is deceivingly quick and slopes to the ocean. Par: 4 / 305 mt

Hole 9

Players are now face-toface with the open landscape, mountains, the Cabo da Roca and wind from the ocean. This downhill par three appears short, but the wind will demand extra clubs. Par: 3 / 150 mt

Hole 12

The longest of the par threes at Oitavos Dunes. It plays downhill and usually with the wind. The large bunkers guard the green on either side, but afford an open running entry into the green. Par: 3 / 194 mt

Hole 16

The last of the par fives at Oitavos Dunes. The elevated tees allow dramatic views of the ocean in the distance. The perfect tee shot is down the right center. The bunkers tighten up the approach to the green, which slopes from back to front. Par: 5 / 493 mt

Hole 17

Two very strong par four make up a memorable finish. The hole plays downhill and typically downwind with the fairtway sloping from left to right. The green is difficult to hit and a good shot is rewarded with a par. Par: 4 / 417 mt
