Tucked into the pine forests of the Setúbal Peninsula, just a short drive south of Lisbon, PGA Aroeira No.2 is one of Portugal's most respected championship layouts. Designed by Donald Steel in collaboration with Tom Mackenzie and Martin Ebert and opened in 2000, the course sits within a 900-acre nature reserve on sandy, well-draining soil beneath a canopy of umbrella pines. It is the younger sibling of the historic Aroeira No.1 (the "Pines Classic"), and the pairing has made this stretch of coastline near Lisbon a firm favourite with travelling golfers, offering two contrasting 18-hole tests within a few minutes of each other. Aroeira No.2's pedigree was further underlined when it twice hosted the Ladies Open of Portugal on the Ladies European Tour, as well as the Tour's Qualifying School.
Playing to a par of 72 over some 6,367 metres from the back tees, Aroeira No.2 is a course that rewards precision as much as power. Five sizeable lakes come into play across the round, while cunningly placed fairway bunkers and a set of undulating, closely guarded greens demand a well-considered approach from tee to pin. Four sets of tees mean the challenge can be tailored to suit golfers of every ability, from confident low-handicappers relishing the test from the tips to holidaymakers looking for an enjoyable round in beautiful surroundings. With its own driving range, practice bunker, putting green and golf academy, alongside a welcoming clubhouse and restaurant, Aroeira No.2 makes for a memorable stop on any Lisbon golf holiday.
