Overview
American architect Arthur Hills didn’t often work outside the U.S., but the nature preserve site he got for Oitavos Dunes on the southwest coast of Portugal was one of the best of his long career. Opened in 2001, most of the course canvases an arid, upland section of land with holes that cross ravines and play low beneath dune ridges of coastal pines. The key to scoring well is to avoid the numerous fairway bunkers, and have a deft recovery game around the small greens. The set of par 3s rival the best in the country.
