Tróia Golf Course
Considered one of the best golfing layouts in Portugal, Tróia represents an exciting challenge for any lover of the sport and has already hosted the Portuguese Open.
Quite unforgettable.
Tróia is a magnificent course set in a region of great natural beauty between the ocean and the estuary of the River Sado, with the mountains of Arrábida in the background.
Surrounded by pine-trees, beaches and the sea, it makes the most of the natural ups and downs of the sand dunes and the legendary Robert Trent Jones used the course´s main natural feature (sand) to form the major obstacle, considering hole number 3 here to be amongst the best par 4´s he has ever designed and including it amongst the 18 holes of his ideal course. White sand is to be found everywhere, not only in the bunkers that protect the small, narrow greens, but also in many of the rough areas. The harmony that has been achieved with nature makes it seem as though the course has always been there. And all the obstacles seem to appear quite naturally, even for the top professional golfers.
Sam Torrance won the 1983 Portuguese Open here with a total score of just two under par. It is considered to be one of the best courses in Portugal in the categories of difficulty and variety, having been voted fourth best in the biennial poll organised by the European Golf magazine.
It also stands in 30th place in the list of the best golf courses in Europe drawn up by the Golf World magazine.
Amongst other competitions that took place here there are: European Ladies Team Championship in 1981, European Golf Writers Championship in 1982, European Boys Championship in 1985, Troia Ladies Masters in 1991, Professionals' National Championship in 1994, Costa Azul Ladies Open in 1996, First Categories National Championship in 1999, Inter-clubs National Championship in 1999, Troia Golf Cup in 2000, Costa Azul International Amateurs Golf Week in 2000, Portuguese Professionals and Amateurs in Match , PGA Portugal Masters in 2001.
