Oitavos Dunes Golf Club
Cascais, Portugal
"We had a special site, a great client and the freedom to design a wonderful golf course. I am thrilled with the end result. People tell me the course feels like it has been there forever, that is the best compliment I can hear because it means we successfully blended the golf course into the existing landscape to create something that looks and feels natural - a course that will endure the test of time."- Drew Rogers

Oitavos Dunes Golf Club at Quinta da Marinha is located 30 minutes from the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, just outside the resort village of Cascais. Developed by three generations of the Champalimaud family, the Quinta da Marinha resort community is located entirely within the Sintra-Cascais National Park. It is considered the most exclusive golf and leisure development in Portugal, with equestrian, tennis, golf and spa facilities set amid stands of rare umbrella pines high above the dunes.

Shortly after it opened, Oitavos was the first course in Europe named a Certified Gold Audubon Signature Sanctuary, the highest designation awarded by Audubon International's Signature Sanctuary Program, golf's strictest and most prestigious environmental management program.
