Pairs Betterball on Portugal’s Silver Coast

7th – 11th March 2020

Praia D’El Rey | Royal Obidos | West Cliffs
54 Hole Pairs Betterball Stableford

We finally gave in to popular demand and launched our first overseas event in March 2019. The huge success of the trip means that we will be heading back to the beautiful Silver Coast, north west of Lisbon, next year to do it all again.

The event will again be a 54 hole Betterball Stableford competition featuring three of the region’s best courses – Praia D’El Rey, Royal Obidos and West Cliffs.

Limited places remain for this event – please check availability by emailing admin@linksgolfcup.co.uk

The Event

Round One
Praia D’El Rey


We start at Praia D’El Rey – a very highly regarded course that features an intriguing mix of holes, with some played in amongst the lush vegetation and some with the stunning backdrop of the Atlantic coastline.

Round Two
Royal Obidos


The final creation of the legendary Seve Ballesteros, Royal Obidos will be our hosts for the second round. It is an exciting layout with water in play on plenty of holes and, without doubt, one of the gems of the Silver Coast.

Round Three
West Cliffs


Rated as the ‘World’s Best New Course’ at the World Golf Awards, this amazing cliff-top links lies on spectacular terrain and, despite only opening in summer 2017, is currently ranked one of the very best in Portugal by Top 100 Courses.

Accommodation
Praia D’El Rey Village


The package includes daily golf transfers and four nights self-catering accommodation at the beautiful Praia D’El Rey Village. Those looking for an even more luxurious trip can upgrade to stay in the Resort’s world-class 5 star Marriott Hotel.

“Our recent golf trip to Praia Del Rey, Portugal, with Hybrid Golf was an outstanding success and excellent value for money. First class courses and accommodation, combined with excellent organisation and communication, made for a great first trip with Andy and his team – it will not be our last”.
