Estoril golf course has existed since 1929 in its first nine-hole version and was commissioned by Fausto Figueiredo, holder of the game award at the Casino do Estoril. Its first architect was Jean Gassiat and the 18-hole course that followed was designed in 1945 by Mackenzie Ross, one of the best architects of golf courses in the world. Subsequently, the field was modified to allow the construction of a part of the Lisbon / Estoril motorway, a design that belonged to the French architect Jean Jean. In this transformation, hole number 9 disappeared, there was a change of the course of the hole number 13 - the famous hole of the Patiño-? that now has a dogleg to the right, being the second shot thrown of the place where the old green was situated; It is now in a higher position. With the disappearance of hole number 9 it was necessary to build another hole, which is now the 13th, a par 3 of 160 meters. Finally, hole number 16 had its green redesigned, but still being a par 3 of 186 meters, less 15 meters, so that the former, considered by many players as one of the best holes of Portuguese golf courses. The pair is 69 (34 35), a total of 5313 meters. Internally, the Estoril golf course has another nine-hole course normally used by beginners, the Blue Course.
