Troia Golf Course
The Troia Championship Golf Course near Comporta was designed by the famous American golf architect Robert Trent Jones Senior.
The course was voted the 25th best European Golf Course by Golf World in 2003.
This challenging course was opened in 1980 and has hosted a number of international tournaments including;
European Ladies Team Championship 1981
Portuguese Open Championship 1983
Troia Ladies Master 1991
Costa Azul Ladies Open 1996
15th International European Amateurs Championship 2002
The front nine has a scenic run of beautiful ocean Greens, with Trent Snr himself suggesting that the third would be included within his preferred eclectic course of all times.
The course which is one of the most challenging in Portugal juxtaposes the Atlantic Ocean with gentle sounds of rolling waves and flowered fragrant breezes filling the air as you play.
You are privileged by the vista to the awe inspiring range of Arrabida Mountains and nature reserve to the north, with the Atlantic Ocean off to the west.
If you decide to relax at the club house after the game then you may bear witness to the magical sunset as it soothes into the ocean or disappears behind the Arrabida range, depending upon which time of the year you are visiting.
