Golf in Portugal? Yes, please. If you’re considering a day out on the greens with some expert guidance, the Lis: Golf Adventure with Coach, Transfers & Dining Concierge offers a pretty tempting package. This experience is designed not just for seasoned golfers but also for those curious to try their hand at the sport amidst stunning ocean views. For about $325 per person, you get a blend of coaching, scenic landscapes, and insider restaurant tips—definitely an all-in-one adventure that aims to elevate your Portugal trip.
What we like about this experience? First, the chance to learn golf from a professional coach—it’s perfect whether you’re just starting or want to refine your swing. Second, the seamless transportation and personalized dining recommendations make it a smooth and immersive day. That said, a possible consideration is that food isn’t included during the golf experience itself, so if you’re hungry after practicing, you’ll need to plan that part on your own.
This tour seems well-suited for those who enjoy a mix of sport, scenery, and local flavor, especially if you’re visiting Lisbon and want to escape the city for a bit of pampered outdoor fun.

The Itinerary: What’s Included and How It Unfolds
The day kicks off with hotel pickup in Lisbon, which is a real plus—the last thing you want is to worry about how to get to the golf course. The transportation is a private SUV or jeep, which not only feels comfortable but also adds a sense of exclusivity. The drive is about 45 minutes, giving you time to get into the relaxed vibe of the coast and enjoy your surroundings.
Your first stop is Quinta da Marinha, a well-known golf course set against stunning ocean landscapes and exotic greenery. This location isn’t just pretty; it’s a proper golf venue with a reputation for beautiful greens and challenging holes. Here, you’ll spend roughly 2 hours, which should be enough for a solid practice session, some coaching, and soaking in the scenery.
After that, you’ll hop back into your private vehicle for a quick 15-minute transfer, then spend another 45 minutes on the course—this second part might be more focused on practice or playing actual holes if you wish. The flexible structure of the itinerary means you can take your time, making the most of the coaching and the vibrant coastal setting.
Finally, you’ll be returned safely to your Lisbon hotel, with plenty of time left in the day to explore or relax. The whole experience lasts around 6 hours, which feels quite reasonable given the quality of the activities packed into that span.
Learning with a PRO Golf Coach
One of the standout features of this tour is the opportunity to learn from an experienced golf instructor. Whether you’re a total novice or have some experience, the coach can tailor the session to your level. We loved the way this coaching isn’t just about swinging a club—it’s about understanding the rules, the stories behind golf’s popularity at the top levels, and how to maintain good form over long distances.
Based on the review from Balvin, who described it as “a wonderful day on green golf courses with training led by a professional trainer,” it’s clear that the teaching is both practical and engaging. It’s rare to find a tour that combines coaching with such scenic surroundings, making this a memorable learning experience rather than just a game.
The Scenic Course Setting
The highlight for many will be the views and natural beauty of the golf course. With ocean scenery, lush greens, and exotic flora, you’ll definitely feel like you’re part of a luxurious escape. The location in Cascais is popular among Hollywood stars and locals alike, thanks to its combination of natural beauty and exclusivity.
Walking around, you’ll probably agree that the scenery adds a sense of calm and inspiration—perfect for both improving your swing and simply soaking in the moment. The reviews echo this sentiment, with one describing the day as “beautiful,” and the views as “fabulous.” When you’re on the course, you might find that the natural surroundings help you relax and focus, which is exactly what good golf should be.

Dining Concierge and Local Recommendations
While the golf itself doesn’t include a meal, the Dining Concierge service ensures you’ll get personalized restaurant suggestions for your post-game meal. Whether you’re craving seafood, local specialties, or a cozy seaside eatery, they can point you in the right direction.
