Two Golf Gems Join Forces for a Sustainable Future
Golf lovers rejoice! There’s exciting news coming from two stunning golf resorts situated on the picturesque Silver Coast. Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort and West Cliffs Ocean & Golf Resort have partnered with the renowned R&A Sustainable Agronomy Service to elevate the golfing experience while embracing sustainability. This partnership aims to enhance golf course management through environmentally friendly practices that are more important now than ever.
A Rich History in Golf
Praia D’El Rey has been welcoming avid golfers for nearly three decades, providing a beautiful blend of parkland and links-style golf. Designed by American architect Cabell B. Robinson, the course is less than an hour’s drive north of a bustling metropolitan area, making it a convenient escape for those looking to hit the greens. The experience doesn’t just stop at golf; the lush surroundings allow visitors to relish in the serene beauty of the coast.
Meet the Man Behind the Success
Steering the ship at Praia D’El Rey and West Cliffs is Tiago Monteiro, the golf sales manager who has been with the resorts for seven years. His experience stretches from the MICE sector to leisure tourism, which has given him a unique perspective that he applies in his current role. Monteiro became the golf sales manager in 2022, where he skillfully oversees reservations, group bookings, and partnerships. His primary challenge is to continuously cultivate the resorts’ reputation amidst a rising tide of competition.
The Path to Sustainability
Much More Than Just Golf
The aim is not just to improve the courses but also to promote the Silver Coast as a premier golf destination. With neighboring golf resorts such as Royal Óbidos Scenic Resort and Bom Sucesso Golf, visitors have access to a convincing package of four high-quality golf courses, perfect for a weekend getaway or even a longer stay.
For tourists, the area offers more than just golf. The stunning beaches boast beautiful coastal scenery, and the local cuisine is a treat for seafood lovers. Towns like Peniche, famous for its rich fishing heritage, and Óbidos, known for its charming medieval architecture, are just a short taxi ride away. This vibrant mix of history and culture is what makes the Silver Coast an attractive destination for all kinds of travelers.
