Quinta do Peru Golf & Country Club

Quinta do Peru Golf & Country Club – Golfing pleasure among pine trees and palm trees

Quinta do Peru Golf & Country Club is a real insider tip among golfers who love Portugal. Just 30 minutes south of Lisbon, nestled between the rolling hills of the Serra da Arrábida and the pine forests near Azeitão, lies this beautiful 18-hole golf course, which is characterised by tranquillity, closeness to nature and sporting challenges.

A golf course with character and views

From a golfer’s point of view, Quinta do Peru is a course that immediately inspires enthusiasm. The par-72 championship course was designed by Rocky Roquemore, one of the most renowned golf architects of his time. And it shows. The course is perfectly integrated into the landscape, with wide fairways, tricky doglegs and challenging water hazards.

One highlight is undoubtedly hole 8: a challenging par 3 with a green completely surrounded by water. This hole requires strong nerves and precision. The back nine also challenges golfers strategically – but fairly. The layout is varied, the greens are true and fast, and the playing experience is consistently high quality.

Natural tranquillity & well-maintained grounds

What sets Quinta do Peru apart from many other courses is the atmosphere. No hotel complexes, no traffic noise – instead, absolute tranquillity, accompanied by the scent of pine trees and the chirping of birds. The course is excellently maintained, the fairways are lush green, the bunkers are accurate and the greens are in top condition – even in the warmer months.

Suitable for all skill levels

Whether you are a beginner or a single-handicapper, the course offers challenges to suit every level of play. The fairways are open enough not to be frustrating, but require good course management to achieve a strong result. Ideal for a relaxed golf trip with sporting ambitions.

Driving range & clubhouse

The practice facilities are also top-notch: a spacious driving range, chipping and pitching green, and putting green leave nothing to be desired. The clubhouse is charmingly decorated in a country house style, with a terrace overlooking the course – perfect for the 19th tee. The restaurant serves regional dishes and Portuguese wine – honest, delicious, no frills.

Conclusion for golfers

Quinta do Peru is a golf course that should be played – especially if you are looking for authentic Portugal away from the tourist hotspots. The combination of scenic beauty, athletic design and cultivated tranquillity makes it a real highlight in the Setúbal region.
