Location

Located in Aldeia dos Capuchos, part of the town of Vila Nova de Caparica, in the municipality of Almada, this golf course benefits from an elevated position. From here, it is possible to view the coastline of Costa da Caparica, with the maritime landscape framing the scenery. The Aldeia dos Capuchos area offers an environment that combines the serenity of a locality with the convenience of proximity to the coast.

The Course's Essence

Aldeia dos Capuchos Golf was inaugurated in 2008, with a project designed by architect Jorge Santana da Silva. Characterized by its nine holes, the course was conceived to provide an accessible and dynamic playing experience. It is a place that allows for agile rounds, adapting to different preferences and paces, whether for those seeking a relaxed game or for those looking for a more concentrated golf challenge.

Challenge and Landscape

The course's layout integrates with the landscape, rising above a natural cliff, which provides a constant sea view from various points. Its design includes a variety of elements that make the game interesting: small slopes that shape the terrain, a large lake integrated into the design, and greens with subtle undulations. The bunkers, strategically placed, add a layer of challenge, encouraging players to carefully read the course and adapt their technique with each shot.

Course Characteristics

Aldeia dos Capuchos Golf features a course 1402 meters long for a full nine-hole round. With a PAR of 29, its composition includes seven PAR 3 holes and two PAR 4 holes. This configuration allows for a focused and versatile playing experience, making it possible to play a nine-hole round or two consecutive rounds, thus covering 2804 meters. The fairways are composed mainly of Rye Grass and Poa Pratensis, while the greens are of Agrostis Stolonifera.
