Cascais, Twenty miles from Lisbon Airport.

Set amongst pine trees and reforested dunes in an area of great natural beauty, Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golfe lies within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Robert Trent Jones designed the carefully maintained par 71, 18-hole golf course. It offers stimulating challenges amidst the natural beauty of a variety of landscapes. The course takes you past calm lakes and secret pine woods, with breathtaking views of the hills on one side and ocean on the other. Encompassing three distinct landscape forms of umbrella pine forests, dunes, and open coastal transition areas, the course is one of the most beautiful in the whole of Portugal. The most spectacular hole on the course is the spectacular 13th, a par 4 of 380 yards that plays down towards the sea. From the green, the golfer has a bird's eye view of the Atlantic Ocean. For most of the course the fairways face inland, dominated by the stunning outline of the Sintra mountain range. Many bunkers and several lakes add to the player's difficulties, an example being the 10th hole with the entire green surrounded by water. Quinta da Marinha Golf Club also offers golf lessons and clinics the whole year round.

Between the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the lavish green of the Sintra Hills, the Hotel Quinta da Marinha and Villas Golf Resort is a unique place of high-quality taste and service. The hotel, villas, golf course, tennis courts, swimming pools and other facilities, all designed with guests in mind, are surrounded by more than 250 acres of awe-inspiring countryside in the Sintra-Cascais Nature Reserve.
