West Cliffs Ocean & Golf Resort
West Cliffs Golf Links opened in 2017 and was immediately recognised as one of the best new courses in Europe. Cynthia Dye, of Dye Designs Group, routed it through coastal dunes, native vegetation and rippling ground high above the Atlantic.
Here the landscape is not a backdrop. Wind, sand and slopes shape every decision, from club selection to the line off the tee, and no two rounds play the same.
The course is the heart of West Cliffs Ocean & Golf Resort, with villas, townhouses and apartments made for families and golf groups, next door to Praia d’El Rey.
