Vidago Palace
Situated a good hour away from Porto Airport in the North of Portugal, the magnificently refurbished Vidago Palace exudes the splendour and sophistication of the Belle Époque. The original 9-hole Vidago Palace Golf Course by Mackenzie Ross was redesigned in 2010 by Cameron Powell & Associates to match up to international championship standards, while retaining the integrity of the original design and faithfully reflecting the aesthetics, playability, spirit and character of the site.
Mainly characterised by elevated tees built with stone walls, strategic bunker positioning and demanding greens, the course’s first 9 holes are played in a relatively flat area in the Vidago valley. The last 4 finishing holes are breath-taking, built on sloping grounds with fantastic views of the natural surroundings of the Vidago Palace and the distant villages. The Vidago Palace course also offers generous practice facilities, a pro shop, restaurant and bar.
