While the Algarve garners the lion’s share of tourist headlines, connoisseurs of pure coastal golf look north to the Silver Coast and Lisbon Golf Coast. Here, raw Atlantic swells crash against towering sandstone cliffs, framing three of Europe’s highest-rated golf tracks: West Cliffs, Praia D’El Rey, and Royal Óbidos.

⚡ Silver Coast Big Three

  • West Cliffs Golf Links: Pure eco-conscious links golf co-designed by Cynthia Dye overlooking the Atlantic.
  • Praia D’El Rey: Half pine parkland, half thunderous ocean links, paired with the 5-star Praia D’El Rey Marriott.
  • Royal Óbidos: The final design of Seve Ballesteros, presenting thrilling risk-reward water hazards.

Pairing Golf with Portuguese Wine & Culture

The beauty of a Silver Coast golf trip is the proximity to medieval Óbidos, world-class seafood dining in Peniche, and historic winery estates producing exceptional Portuguese vintages.
