Ribagolfe I is located near Santo Estevao, 30 minutes drive east of the city centre, across the spectacular Vasco D'Gamma Bridge.
Situated in a cork forest 40 minutes south of Lisbon, this new golf course is the most recent addition to the area's golfing portfolio.
Ribagolfe I is a challenging championship course, while Ribagolfe II is a less demanding club design. Both have a distinct Valderrama feel, and take full advantage of the gently undulating landscape and lovely natural surroundings.
Ribagolfe is on a par with the best in Europe, in terms of its layout, environmental features and design. Both courses are set within a forest of cork oak trees and the design makes full use of the sweeping undulations of the site, providing many spectacular golf holes across valleys and lakes.
There is also a vast practice area that, in addition to a driving range, includes chipping and putting greens, practice area, practice bunkers and a fully equipped Clubhouse, with a shop and restaurant services. The courses stimulate all five senses, where the natural elements, as part of the game, provide new challenges for the more discerning golfer.
Ribagolfe is on the list of candidates to host national and European competitions. A little farther away than most of the area's other courses, but definitely worth the trip.
