A golf trip with the Bagot Arms GS anytime is a beautiful thing. But a summertime trip abroad, well, that’s next level stuff! The golf days are long and dependably hot followed by copious amounts of cold beer all day and all night.
The golf throughout the week will have a fun format with a competitive edge, with a few side bets thrown in each day.

Nightlife
Nightlife in Cascais is as varied as it is lively. This delightful coastal town some thirty kilometres west of Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, offers a mix of relaxed eateries, lively bars and pumping nightclubs, guaranteed to keep its well-heeled clientele occupied from dusk until dawn. Wherever you choose to spend your evening, two things are certain – you will never be far from the sea and you cannot fail to be entertained.
Downtown Cascais makes a fun and laid-back location to spend an evening. The area drops away to the main town beach of O Pescador and the lively bars and late night restaurants often spill out onto the streets and down to the water’s edge where a fun-loving clientele often remain until well into the early hours.
Die-hard disco fans head to Coconuts, also close to the marina. Coconuts is the perfect destination for dance music lovers, with two dance rooms, a sophisticated outdoor terrace and even a karaoke room for those brave enough to give their vocal chords a workout. For more karaoke fun, head to Baluarte, also located in the marina.
Cascais Restaurants
It’s no secret that the food in Portugal is absolutely amazing. Cascais is doubly blessed when it comes to dining options. Close to the sea, there is an abundance of fresh fish and seafood available. Fresh fish, shrimp, octopus, clams, and more are often prepared simply and with favorite local preparations. Cascais restaurants also serve some hyper-local specialties of the area like the santiaguiños, tiny slipper lobsters found only in the region. Some restaurants like Marisco na Praça Mercado let you see what items they have fresh that day and mix and match your perfect meal. Codfish is a national favorite served a thousand different ways while octopus is often enjoyed “à lagreiro” style with garlic, olive oil, and potatoes or in a salad.

Estoril Golf Club
Estoril golf is located in a prime position in can be reached by the motorway from Lisbon in 15 minutes. In 1945 it was enlarged to 18 holes and has in the past been several times host to the Portuguese Open. Estoril Golf is thought by many players as being one of the most outstanding courses to play in Portugal. Although a short golf course at only 5,808, it demands excellent accuracy as there is an uneven terrain with some tight fairways.
Penha Longa Golf
Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, this 18-hole course features gently rolling hills, stately groves of oaks and pines and magnificent views of the Sintra Mountains.The opening holes and the final flourish share a wooded vale in the shadow of the rocky mountains, while others arc and plunge over scented hillsides. Exciting at every turn, this championship test and host to the Portuguese Open, is a master of variety and thrills.
The Atlantic Course is an 18-hole, par 72, championship course of 6,290 meters, offering a challenging course with breathtaking views over the ocean with Estoril and Cascais to the South and the Sintra hills to the North.
Quinta da Marinha Golf
The characteristics of the Quinta da Marinha Golf Course are its elevated greens and tees, combined with many bunkers in play and some water hazards. This par 71 course offers fantastic panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Sintra Mountains. Every hole is different, and you will have to use all the clubs in the bag and play with strategy for a good score. The most spectacular hole on the Quinta da Marinha Golf Course is hole No.13, a Par 4 of 339 meters that slopes down towards the sea. Once on the green, the golfer has the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. The following Hole No.14, a Par 3, requires a very precise shot for the ball to cross a cliff and reach a wide but not very deep green.
See you all soon!….Swing Easy”
