Praia D’El Rey
Praia D’El Rey is an 18-hole Cabell B. Robinson design on Portugal’s Silver Coast, mixing pine-lined inland holes with exposed dune-and-ocean golf. It opened on 14 June 1997, plays to par 73 and measures 7,100 yards.
Old ranking positions, star ratings, historic fee claims and unsupported superlatives have been removed. Current visitor conditions, pricing and handicap requirements should be checked directly before travel.
What to expect
Praia D’El Rey changes character during the round. Some holes move through pine forest; others open into the dunes with stronger exposure to Atlantic wind. That variety makes club selection and trajectory control more important than the headline yardage suggests.
The course’s deep bunkering, sloping greens and changing ground conditions reward placement over indiscriminate aggression, especially when the wind turns.
Course Swing · Silver Coast
Praia D’El Rey pairs naturally with West Cliffs, which the current resort golf site places only a few minutes away. A practical Silver Coast swing is:
- Praia D’El Rey
- West Cliffs
- Royal Óbidos
- Bom Sucesso
This keeps the trip compact around Óbidos and gives golfers four distinct rounds without repeated long transfers. See the Portugal golf guide for the wider Algarve, Lisbon and Silver Coast journey.
Stay · Play · Recover
Stay
The resort offers a mix of hotel, apartment, villa and townhouse accommodation, including units close to the golf course and beach.
Play
Use Praia D’El Rey and West Cliffs as the fixed pair, then add Royal Óbidos and Bom Sucesso around weather, tee-time availability and the pace you want for the trip.
Recover
Current resort accommodation information continues to reference access to spa and fitness facilities, alongside pools and beach access. That makes the resort a useful base for a golf-and-recovery itinerary rather than a golf-only overnight stop.
Planning notes
The resort currently requires a valid handicap certificate and publishes minimum handicap requirements. As access rules can change, reconfirm those requirements, tee-time availability, course maintenance and pricing before finalising the trip.
