Club de Golf Miramar
Courses
This is one of the oldest and most traditional golf courses in Portugal, situated in a famous northern seaside resort and running alongside the beaches between Espinho and Porto.
The historic Miramar course was recently altered under the supervision of the famous architect Howard Swan, who redesigned the original 1934 layout produced by Mackenzie Ross. Its nine holes, some of whose tees are situated on the top of sand dunes, are almost all accompanied by the typical ocean views of Portugal´s northern coastline.
The changes have mainly been introduced at holes number 3 and 8, making the course 100 metres longer. Pay special attention to hole number 2, a 204-metre par 3 with a split-level green, and hole number 9, an extremely difficult par 4, which has an out-of-bounds area running along the right-hand side of the fairway, as well as a difficult forest to the left. To make this hole even more challenging, the green is very well protected by two bunkers.
Golfers can finish off their rounds by enjoying an excellent meal in the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the clubhouse.
