ROYAL OBIDOS
A new project on the Silver Coast
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - due to be open 2010 The Royal Obidos Golf Course is located on the Portuguese Silver Coast, near the medieval town of Obidos, 1h driver North of Lisbon. The project offers spectacular views to the Ocean and the Obidos lagoon.
Promoted by Oceanico Developments, Severiano Ballesteros has designed an extraordinary golf course. The Royal Obidos golf course is characterized by the amplitude, exigency and variety.
Main characteristics
The Royal Obidos golf course drawn up by Seve Ballesteros is really versatile, from the Championship tees it measures 6,765 meters, from the professional tees 6,525 ms and from the yellow tees 6,170 meters. This means that it adapts perfectly to all handicaps, for men, as for ladies.
Several holes have lakes and streams, which in addition to being important hazards, it ads spectacularity and beauty.
Some amazing holes
The first hole, a difficult right handed dogleg, heads north, setting up a spectacular combination of holes overlooking the lagoon of Obidos. The feature hole of the front nine is the 5th, an exciting 520m par 5, with a final approach into a large undulating green surrounded on three sides by water.
The second nine holes of Royal Obidos lie in the central and southern section of the development. Six of the holes meander between an intricate ecosystem of lakes interconnected by cascading streams. The highlight of the back nine is the 12th, a 420m par 4, where the golfer has to negotiate both the drive and the second shot between and over two lakes and the curving stream.
Clubhouse project
The clubhouse, sumptuously appointed with restaurant, spike bar and pro shop, is ideally located and overlooks no fewer than 9 of the 18 holes. Sitting out on the generous terrace, owners and visitors to Royal Obidos will enjoy spectacular views of the golf course and the cascading lakes and streams, with the Atlantic Ocean "and some truly wonderful sunsets" in the background.
