It a great golf course but unfortunately the greens had been pole forked just prior to our visit so were in poor condition. The staff were friendly & did offer us a free buggy (prior to the round) to compensate for the condition of the greens.

This mountain course situated against the majestic backdrop of the Serra da Estrela and the Serra do Caramulo was the first golf course to be built in the Beiras region. The mountainous Montebelo golf course, dotted here and there with gorse and heather, runs through clumps of pine and oak-trees. It is divided into two parts, named according to their main geographical landmarks: the Caramulo course (the first nine holes) and the Estrela Course (the second nine holes).|Doglegs are a constant feature of this course and the final sequence is truly unforgettable: the last three holes provide breathtaking views over valleys, streams, hills, lakes and well protected greens. The most memorable hole, however, is number 12 (a long par 3, running downhill to the green with a bunker to the left and a lake behind). The hole is considered to be 'the soul of the course' because of its challenging physical characteristics and the unique landscape that surrounds it. (...)

Montebelo Golf Course has had a special place in our Portugal Golf program for years. The Golf course is challenging and reasonably maintained. In combination with a stay at Motebelo Hotel Viseu a must! Don't be discouraged by the entrance to the golf course and the somewhat dilapidated clubhouse.

Great golf course, downhill uphill doglegs blind shots, perfect greens...has it all!
The existence of Miramar Golf Club is due to the initiative of Frank Gordon and the Portuguese Cláudio e Mário Martins. In 1931, they decided to create a golf club more open to the Portuguese, who in this way could have easier access to golf. Its first General Meeting was held in 1934.|The course was designed by Frank Gordon and Artur Mariani Jr. It is a par 70 - 35 for each of the two nine-hole rounds and it has some holes that deserve a special reference. For example, the green of the 7th hole and hole number 9, a par 4 of exceptional class for its length, the difficulty of the out-of-bounds to the right, as well as a fast green defended by a bunker in front and another one behind. These are excellent holes, that any good player would appreciate playing. (...)

This golf course is located within the Quinta da Deveza, near Amarante, where tradition and magnificent landscapes and scenery abound, in particular, the River Tamega and the Mountain of Marão. This is a truly mountainous course as it is 600 meters above sea level. It has four water hazards and covers an area of 40 hectares.|The first hole slopes deeply downwards and is 495 meters long and the last, on the contrary, rather shorter with 447 meters, slopes fairly steeply upwards. Hole 12 is 445 meters long and a good strong shot is necessary to get over the lake on the right hand side and attention should be paid to the left, because of the fencing that marks the out of bounds area. The green is defended by four bunkers.|The course cannot be classified as difficult although it does have excellent and fast greens, the majority of which are short in length. (...)

Difficult golf course, many blind shots. Not a fair course if you play it for the first time.
Estela Golf course is a true links, located in a magnificent area with 1st class commodities and with a climate cooled by the Atlantic breeze in summer and warmed by the Gulf stream in winter. With is narrow fairways, good tee shots are the key to a good score. The type of grass used contributes to create excellent game conditions with good fairways and greens that are both firm and fast. The sound of the ocean is a constant throughout the game, and most greens are elevated and very exposed to the sea breeze.Estela golf course can definitely provide a great golf experience . (...)

The Vale Pisão golf course consists of 9 + 9 holes and a practice field. The layout of the course follows the aesthetics of the land, looking to fit in a natural landscape and taking advantage of the slopes, vegetation and water. Thus can be a varied course, with very interesting and balanced challenges where in shorter holes, of clear beauty and strategy, combine with more elaborate holes, of greater difficulty. (...)

En arrivant on est surpris par le magnifique Palace et le parc...Un effort doit être fait sur la signalisation, j'ai du visiter une bonne partie du parc pour trouver le clubhouse ou j ai été accueilli très agréablement ...
le practice est bien et le prix des balles est raisonnable....le parcours donne de belles sensations, il est un peu répétitif dans la suite des trous mais il regorge de difficultés asser taquines et inatendues...
Le palace mérite une visite et je ne peux que regretter de ne pas avoir pris une nuit ou deux ....j y ai manger un sandwich franchesinia juste extra dans un cadre splendide
Une belle découverte pépite pour une escapade golfique entre autre (spa, cadre bucolique pour des balades dans la nature ). -**- On arriving, you are surprised by the magnificent Palace and the park...An effort should be made on the signage, I had to visit a good part of the park to find the clubhouse where I was welcomed very pleasantly...
the practice is good and the price of the balls is reasonable....the course gives beautiful sensations, it is a little repetitive in the continuation of the holes but it abounds in difficulties asser teased and unexpected...

A beautiful discovery for a golfing escapade among other things (spa, bucolic setting for walks in nature).

Oporto Golf Club is the oldest golf club in Portugal. It begins with a par 4 against the famous nortada, the prevailing north wind, which makes it rather difficult. The approach to the green, which is narrow and doubletiered, turns this first hole into an excellent test for any player.|Although holes 4 and l1 are the most difficult ones, we consider the par-4 7th and par-3 14th to be the best that can be designed in terms of golf. The 9th and 18th, normally offer good opportunities for birdies, making a pleasant finish to a competition. In a superb atmosphere which is possible only among the traditionally hospitable people from the North of Portugal, the Oporto Club offers excellent facilities in its clubhouse, with a restaurant that is a general favourite of its members for eating out.

Oporto is an outdated golf club (course & clubhouse), very poor maintenance except greens. The layout needs a redesign/upgrade (could be very interesting for an architect). The lady at the reception was smoking and the caddy master was totally unfriendly. We played at 3pm and the tree-ball in front let us play through only at hole 14 although the course was empty. We played on more than 20 different golf courses in Portugal and Oporto is the worst experience.
