Castro Marim Golf & Country Club — the charm of 3 unique courses

Castro Marim sits in the rolling hills near the Spanish border. This versatile course offers three distinct nine-hole loops, each with its own character. The setting is peaceful and green, with sweeping views over the countryside and the Guadiana River. A wonderful choice for those who enjoy variety or play with friends of different skill levels.

The course has significant elevation changes, so a buggy is recommended. Because of the many hills, flat lies are rare. The fairways are relatively narrow and outside the fairways you quickly end up in the rocky hills. These factors make the course far from easy. The price is relatively lower compared to other courses.

📍 Location: Sitio do Lavajinho, 8950-190 Castro Marim
🛣️ Distance: ± 45 km (≈ 40 min)
🏌️‍♂️ Holes: 27 (three 9-hole loops)
