Amarante Golf Course
Amarante Golf Course lies along the banks of the Tâmega River in northern Portugal, surrounded by dramatic hills, vineyards, and the rolling terrain of the Douro region. The setting is tranquil but full of character, where each hole feels part of the land’s natural pulse.
The layout makes use of the terrain’s slopes and river vistas, weaving through forested hills, stone walls, and water hazards that demand strategic thinking. It’s a course that tests both club selection and imagination, offering a mix of challenge and charm that suits a journey into Portugal’s wine country.
Cypress & Salt curates Amarante experiences that combine golf immersion with cultural richness. Guests can stay in boutique lodges near the Tâmega, enjoy private wine tastings in the Douro valley, dine on regional gastronomy, and take guided walks or boat rides through vineyards and historic towns. Here, golf and wine reign together.
