This week, the national professional golf scene has an important stop in the Region of Murcia. The XXXVI Spanish PGA Championship is being held at New Sierra Golf, a modest course that we’ve seen grow a lot in recent years and whose design we love, making it a visit we always recommend in Murcia.
The state of the course, with its well-defined holes and technical challenges, will put the professional players to the test in this tournament. It will undoubtedly be interesting to see how they perform on its fairways and greens.

Golf in Óbidos: Exploring the North of Lisbon
As a continuation of our previous post about golf courses in Porto, in this edition, we delve into one of the most prominent golf destinations in Portugal: Óbidos.
Located north of Lisbon, this region has gained popularity among golf enthusiasts thanks to its top-tier courses, a privileged natural setting along the Atlantic, and a wide range of accommodation options. Óbidos is the ideal destination for those looking for a complete getaway with a variety of high-quality golf courses.
Óbidos: A Leading Golf Destination
Just over an hour north of Lisbon, Praia D’El Rey Golf & Beach Resort has established itself as one of the most recognized resorts in the region. This resort not only stands out for its spectacular golf course, offering Atlantic views and a challenging layout for players of all levels, but also for its variety of accommodations. On one hand, the hotel provides a comfortable and classic option, while the Beachfront Apartments, located right on the beach, are ideal for those looking to enjoy both the sea and golf in one place.
A few kilometers north of Praia D’El Rey, you’ll find West Cliffs Golf Links, one of the new landmarks of golf in northern Portugal. This course, designed to blend seamlessly with the landscape of dunes and cliffs, offers a unique challenge for the most demanding players, combining spectacular views with a technical layout. West Cliffs has expanded its offerings with luxury villas featuring two and three bedrooms, located next to the course. These villas are an excellent choice for groups of friends or families who want to enjoy golf without sacrificing comfort and privacy.
Another must-visit stop in the region is Bom Sucesso Resort, a complex renowned for both its golf course and innovative architecture. The contemporary design of the villas and common spaces attracts golf and design enthusiasts, making it a unique option in Óbidos. While it currently doesn’t have its own hotel, plans are in place for the opening of a five-star hotel in 2025, which will undoubtedly add a new level of luxury to the resort experience. Its more inland location, away from the coast, also provides a shelter from the usual wind in the area, allowing for a more stable and comfortable round of golf.
Additionally, Royal Óbidos deserves a mention, featuring an interesting golf course design and a 5-star boutique hotel complemented by villas overlooking the golf course.
A bit further to the north and no longer part of Óbidos, Dolce Camporeal is another resort in the area with a rural hotel style, offering an experience for players looking for a quieter stay, without necessarily having as much variety of courses.
Óbidos has solidified its reputation as an essential golf destination in Portugal, with options ranging from spectacular coastal courses like Praia D’El Rey and West Cliffs, to more design-focused and tranquil resorts like Bom Sucesso or Camporeal. Each offers a distinct experience, catering to both players and those seeking a relaxing getaway in an unparalleled setting.

Participants enjoyed unforgettable experiences such as a tapas tour through the historic centre of Almeria and a spectacular boat trip through the crystal clear waters of Cabo de Gata.
Digital Marketing Campaign and Publirreportages
In addition to the planning and execution of the trip, this project included the production of a digital marketing campaign and media advertorials in the UK, initiatives that are still ongoing. To this end, we adapted the “Change Your Approach” campaign, which was already underway, and created specific content, such as landing pages and customized designs for participants’ gifts. The objective was clear: to reinforce the image of Almeria as an ideal destination for golf tourism.
