Troia Golf Course
Overview
Located on the Troia Peninsula, Troia Golf Course is a must-visit for serious golfers. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., this championship course combines stunning views with smart shot-making. It is ranked as one of the best golf courses in Portugal and provides an amazing experience for players of all skill levels, especially those who enjoy a good challenge.
Course Layout
This course is a par-72 layout that stretches for 6,317 meters. It takes you through beautiful coastal dunes and pine forests. You’ll need to be accurate when you hit the ball and choose your clubs wisely. The bunkers are deep and well-placed, adding to the challenge. The sea breeze is always there, making each game a bit tougher. The fairways are narrow, so you’ll need to aim carefully. The greens are fast and have some hills, which means you’ll have to be precise when you approach the hole and when you putt. Enjoy your round!
Standout Holes
One of the highlights of Troia is the 3rd hole, a par-4 that people from all over the world love. It has an elevated tee with scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The landing area is narrow and protected by sand and rough areas, making it a challenging yet exciting hole that captures the spirit of Troia—stunning but tough. Another favourite is the par-5 18th hole, which offers a memorable finish with its long distance and clever bunkers.
