Oitavos Dunes

Oitavos Dunes Highlights

Located in Cascais, just outside Lisbon and set within the protected landscapes of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Oitavos Dunes stands as one of Portugal’s most celebrated golfing experiences. Designed by renowned architect Arthur Hills and opened in 2001 on land owned by the Champalimaud family since 1908, the course blends world-class golf with unspoiled natural beauty.

Consistently ranked among the World’s Top 100 Courses, Oitavos Dunes is widely regarded as Portugal’s premier links-style layout in the Lisbon region and an essential stop on any itinerary.

True to its “minimalist” philosophy, the design allows the rugged Atlantic coastline to shape the course naturally. Rolling dunes, native vegetation, and sweeping ocean vistas define the landscape, while the deliberate absence of water hazards preserves the course’s raw character and environmental integrity.

With coastal winds adding challenge and panoramic views stretching across the Atlantic and Sintra mountains, Oitavos Dunes is quite simply a must-play when visiting the Lisbon area.
