Located over the skirts of Madalena Hill, Ponte de Lima course is a typical mountain course, covering six kilometres adorned with luxurious vegetation and well-restored, historical mansions, which supply infrastructure for golfing activity.

The first nine holes are placed amongst age-old trees (chestnuts trees, cork and English oaks), leading, through a ravine, to the Quinta do Anquião, where holes 1, 2, 8 and 9 provide glorious views over the Lima valley and, 20 kilometres away, the town of Viana do Castelo.

Hole 3 (par 5), at 622 metres, is the longest one in Portugal and one of the longest in Europe; hole 8's tee (Par 3) is situated higher, allowing one to attack directly the green below.

The next nine holes are sited in the Quinta de Pias valley with its surrounding vines, cornfields, apple and pear trees.
