Evolutee Hotel at Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort

Hotel comfortable but unfortunately in a middle of a construction sight. Cranes spoil the sea view and construction noise durring working hours

A very tricky golf course. Some long walks between green and tee. Golf course is in excellent order.

Course was wet after rain in the night and played very long. I would imagine if it had been dry we would have enjoyed it a lot more. Staff helpful in the bar and the pro shop and the course was empty. We arrived a couple of hours early for breakfast and practice and no one went out before we did. We were told on arrival we could go out any time.

Not our favourite and didn’t feel it justified the Royal in the title.

A very tough layout by Seve Ballesteros made all the more difficult because this was a first visit and the location of unseen traps, streams and marsh area led to a frustrating end to a seemingly good shot. Make no mistake, the construction standards of this relatively new course are top notch but the rough had been cut at several inches long and being very thick and dewy meant for longer than necessary searches for balls that had only just left the fairway. Starting at the 10th, when arriving at the 1st (on schedule) we found several member groups had started (as is apparently their right) resulting in a wait on every tee so lengthy that we drove in after 14 and might yet have been out there if we had continued.

Great course some tough holes with long second shots, but a great course

I really enjoyed the course but the ladies with handicaps over 20 found it very difficult.

We played this course on a wet, miserable day, which may have coloured our impressions. There are several illogical holes which require irons off the tee, with the second shot being at right angles to the tee. Playing from the 55 markers meant that on more than one par five you had to lay up short of a lake with an iron- not ideal. Furthermore there are several holes where walks between greens and tees are over long and hilly - it is obviously a course designed for buggies. The facilities were rather spartan and the pro shop poorly stocked.

This course was difficult, especially with 30MPH winds, long and tough, wide fairways but greens were average. Overall, it was the weakest of the three courses we played.

This was our first course we played on the estate and didn’t disappoint. plenty of water to negotiate but lovely fairways and greens to aim for
