The Guardian Bom Sucesso Golf is located in the Bom Sucesso area, in the village of Vau, belonging to the municipality of Óbidos. Its position is privileged, being close to the Óbidos Lagoon, which gives it a natural setting of great beauty. From this location, it is possible to enjoy wide views over the lagoon and, at certain points, glimpse the Atlantic Ocean horizon.
This golf course is set in an area where the natural landscape merges with a planned urbanization concept, where contemporary architecture makes its presence felt, without ever distorting the surroundings. Its layout offers a serene environment and a direct connection with the surrounding nature.
Inaugurated in September 2008, the Guardian Bom Sucesso Golf is the work of the renowned architect Donald Steel. Its design covers an extensive area of over 60 hectares, having been conceived to integrate naturally into the existing topography. Steel sought to reproduce the essence of classic golf courses, where the landscape and its original features coexist in full harmony with the course layout.
The result is a course that reflects a symbiosis between natural elements and human intervention, where scenic beauty is an intrinsic component of the golf experience. The arrangement of the holes and the use of the terrain contours demonstrate respect for the natural environment.
The golf course features 18 holes, with a par 72, promising a competitive experience for golfers of various levels. Its design includes a thoughtful combination of elongated greens, strategic lakes, and intelligently positioned bunkers. These elements challenge players' skills, requiring precision and strategy throughout the entire course.
Whether you are an experienced golfer looking for a stimulating challenge or an enthusiast who wants to enjoy the sport in an impressive landscape, Guardian Bom Sucesso offers a dynamic game. Each hole has been designed to provide unique moments, testing different aspects of the game.
Throughout the course, some holes stand out for their characteristics and the views they provide. Hole 17 is one of the most exciting, located in the highest part of the course, offering superb panoramic views over the Óbidos Lagoon. Its left-sloping terrain, being a par 5, presents a challenge for most players.
Another point of interest is Hole 2, a par 5 with a sharp right turn (dogleg) and a lake running along the right side, requiring a precise approach to the green. To finish the game memorably, Hole 18, a par 4, offers an enchanting view, requiring passage over two water hazards before reaching the green, culminating the round on a distinctive note.
As an integral part of the venue, an elegant Clubhouse stands. This building was designed to harmonize with the landscape and the surrounding architecture, serving as a visual landmark. Its strategic location offers a privileged view over Hole 18, allowing observers to watch the end of the golf course in a tranquil setting.
From the Clubhouse, it is possible to appreciate the beauty of the course and the surrounding nature, complementing the visit experience. Its architecture and layout contribute to the overall atmosphere of Guardian Bom Sucesso Golf, functioning as a viewpoint over the game and the landscape.
