A big thank you again Simon for organising our latest trip, this time to Quinta Do Lago. Your recommendation to include Ombria was well worth it ,you might need a few spare balls but it is a great course in the making and worth a visit.…
About Bom Sucesso Golf Course
Bom Sucesso is a championship golf course and a Donald Steel design. On the banks of the Obidos lagoon it has amazing views across the water. Opened in 2008 it is an usual combination of a flat front nine holes and an undulating back nine. Lakes and tricky bunkers make this a difficult design. Head to the forward tees if your golf game is not up to its usual standard.
- Buggies
- Clubhouse
- Golf courses nearby include West Cliffs, Royal Obidos and Oitavos Dunes
Our take
A course of two halves on the Obidos lagoon, Bom Sucesso settles you with a flat front nine then sends you climbing through lakes and mean bunkering on the way home.
- Serious golfersDo not be fooled by the flat start; the 4th and 7th wreck as many cards as anything after the turn, and Donald Steel's lakes and bunkering leave you nowhere safe to miss.
- Higher handicapsHeading for the forward tees is the course's own advice when your game is off, and we would take it regardless. Add a buggy for the climbing back nine and enjoy the lagoon views.
- Buddy tripsSlots neatly into an Obidos itinerary alongside West Cliffs and Royal Obidos, and it is usually the round that decides the trip's arguments. Plenty of water, so agree the lost-ball rules before the first tee.

What you are actually facing
The walk. Hilly — we would take a buggy. 209 metres of climb over eighteen holes.
The wind. The wind is usually northerly, averaging 15 km/h, gusting to 40. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
The water. Water is very much in play across this course. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.
The design. Donald Steel.
The holes that will cost you. The 7th, the 4th and the 2nd. The 17th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
