Ponte de Lima Golf Club
Ponte de Lima Golf sits in the hills above one of Portugal's oldest towns, in the rural Minho countryside around 70km north of Porto. Opened in 1995 and designed by Daniel and David Silva, the course is built as two distinct nines, each with its own name and character, meeting at a clubhouse set between them.
The front nine, Quinta de Anquião, is the hilly half, running through old cork, oak and chestnut trees with genuine elevation change and views out over the Lima Valley toward Viana do Castelo. The back nine, Quinta de Pias, drops into more level ground through vineyards and orchards, offering a different kind of test after the climbs of the first half. Reviewers consistently rate the course highly for condition, and just as consistently recommend a buggy or electric trolley for the front nine's slopes.
The clubhouse, sitting between the two nines, has a restaurant, bar, terrace, sauna, pool and tennis courts alongside the golf shop and equipment hire. A handicap certificate is required to play. For golfers exploring northern Portugal who want a genuine change of terrain from hole to hole, and don't mind a proper hill workout along the way, Ponte de Lima delivers something distinct.

Beautiful golf course with significant elevation changes. The hole where you play over a road remains a real experience. We would love to come back here again!

Great course, challenging layout, well maintained and friendly staff. Great patio for a beer and a snack after the round.

Tricky and fun… tight fairways… greens in great shape,.. front nine very hilly- if you’re gonna walk bring a Sherpa, mountain goat and oxygen tank,,. If riding extra duty jockstrap otherwise your titleists are gonna be in your throat,. Back 9 not as hilly but very interesting as well… fun course,,. Not much clubhouse but do not miss the nearby town of Pont Lima… its exquisite

Ponye de Lima was in excellent condition considering the rain that we have experienced over this past 2 weeks, shame the weather prevented us from completing either of the rounds at ponte de lima
