West Cliffs Golf Links
West Cliffs Golf Links
West Cliffs Golf Links is a revelation of modern coastal golf. Located near Óbidos along Portugal’s central coast, this Cynthia Dye design opened in 2017 and immediately earned international acclaim as one of Europe’s finest new courses. Set within dunes, cliffs, and native vegetation overlooking the Atlantic, it captures the untamed essence of the Silver Coast with a seamless natural flow.
The routing moves through elevated dunes and valleys that frame ocean panoramas from nearly every hole. Firm fairways, rolling greens, and strategic bunkering define the experience, while ever changing winds test both creativity and control. It is pure, unspoiled golf shaped by the land and sea.
Cypress and Salt curates West Cliffs escapes that blend championship golf with coastal luxury. Guests enjoy stays at the adjacent Praia D’El Rey Marriott or exclusive West Cliffs Residences, curated seafood dinners, and guided excursions through Óbidos’ medieval village and nearby wine estates. West Cliffs is where natural drama and modern design meet in perfect rhythm.
