Quinta do Peru Golf Course

Quinta do Peru Golf Course is one of Lisbon’s hidden gems, offering a tranquil and elegant experience surrounded by the foothills of the Arrábida Mountains. Designed by Rocky Roquemore and opened in 1994, the course combines immaculate conditioning with a natural parkland setting just thirty minutes south of the capital. Its gentle rhythm and subtle challenge make it a favorite among locals and visiting players alike.

The layout blends broad tree lined fairways with strategically placed bunkers and lakes that influence play on several holes. Smooth bentgrass greens, generous landing areas, and mountain backdrops create an atmosphere of calm sophistication. Known for its consistency and playability, Quinta do Peru is often ranked among Portugal’s best inland courses.

Cypress and Salt curates Quinta do Peru escapes that pair championship golf with cultural depth. Guests enjoy boutique stays near Azeitão or Setúbal, curated dining featuring regional wines and seafood, and private tours through the Arrábida Nature Park. Quinta do Peru is golf at its most graceful, where every shot feels grounded in beauty and balance.
