We went to Portugal in Autumn in October 2012 for a golf vacation. We also joined the finals of Traumreisen Trophy 2012 in Estoril having been qualified for it. It was the third time we visited Portugal.
Estoril was a civil parish of the municipality of Cascais in the district of Lisbon. Estoril was about 25-30 kilometers west of Lisbon.
We stayed at Hotel Palacio Estoril located along Rua Particular in Estoril, Portugal.
We played golf at Estoril Golf Course (Clube de Golf do Estoril/Estoril Golf Club) in Estoril for the Traumreisen Trophy 2012.
We played two more courses for fun, at Belas Golf Course (Belas Clube de Campo) in Belas, Sintra, and at the Oitavos Dunes Golf Course in Quinta da Marinha, Cascais.
Regarding food and restaurants, we again ate at the two restaurants we have been to, namely, Restaurant Duke Pub and Mar do Inferno Restaurant in Cascais. Another restaurant was Bougainvillea Terrace which was located at the Hotel Palacio Estoril.
Restaurant Duke Pub and Restaurante Mar do Inferno were both located in Cascais but Duke Pub was located at the center of Cascais while Restaurante Mar do Inferno was located in Boca do Inferno which was about 10 minutes walk to the center of Cascais.
Despite not winning at the Traumreisen Trophy 2012, we still enjoyed our short vacation in Estoril. We were able to play two more golf courses that we have not played yet when we went to Cascais, Portugal in Spring 2011 and Spring 2012.
As I see it, I do not think that playing golf in Portugal will stop there. I still have not really explored Lisbon yet. I am not sure when but we will surely go back to Portugal. 🙂
