Inaugurated in 1980 and designed by the American golf architect Robert Trent Jones Senior, TROIA GOLF was considered by Golf World magazine the 17th best golf course in Continental Europe, thus joining the 2017 list of the “Top 100 Golf Resorts in Continental Europe”.
Having further established itself among Europe’s elite golf courses, climbing nine places to number eight in Golf World’s Top 100 Golf Courses in Continental Europe 2019 ranking.
Robert Trent Jones Senior’s dazzling ties have sensationally climbed to the top ten rankings in Europe, as golfers and industry experts finally rightly recognize one of Portugal’s best kept secrets.
Rated in six different categories – design quality, setup, playability, presentation, memorability and hole consistency – Troia scored an impressive 82.9 points out of a possible 100, with the magazine’s panel of judges scoring the course on all criteria. Troia’s new ranking places it among the top two in Portugal.
