Overview
Designed by American architect legend Robert Trent Jones Snr, the spectacular Troia golf links is a championship golf course that has hosted many Portuguese and International championships and is regarded as the strongest golf course in the Costa Azul region. Golf World magazine ranked Troia as the 25th best Continental European Golf Course and with the beautiful natural habitat it is absorbed in, it is difficult to disagree.
The way to get to Troia, if you are not staying at the fantastic Troia Design Hotel, is to take a pleasant short ferry ride from Setubal across the estuary of the River Sado to the Peninsula of Troia, a region of great natural beauty near the Atlantic Ocean.
The tight layout and surrounding flora and fauna put more of an emphasis on straight hitting here than anywhere else in Portugal. The greens are tiny with naturally shaped defensive bunkers and hummocks, while the fairways are narrow and hemmed in by sandy dunes and pine trees, providing a genuine test of skill for the lower handicap golfers together with enjoyment for the more modest players. The front nine has a run of stunning holes all with a sea view and Robert Trent Jones Snr who was never lost for words when asked to praise his own work, selected the 3rd hole at Troia as part of his dream eclectic course. You must play this layout if you visit the Costa Azul!
