West Cliffs Golf Links has further enhanced its reputation as one of the leading lights of world golf after claiming a leading accolade in Golf Inc. magazine’s prestigious ‘2019 Golf Development of the Year’ awards.
The Portuguese resort staved off fierce international competition from a collection of golfing venues around the world to be chosen as one of the three main winners in this year’s contest.
Entries were judged across a variety of different categories – including the success of the overall business model, achieving the vision of the architect and the level of sustainability of each development both environmentally and economically.

The accolade is the latest in a growing list of international honours that West Cliffs has won since opening to widespread praise in June 2017, including being ranked second in the Top 100 Golf Courses website’s latest list of the top layouts in Portugal and being voted as the ‘World’s Best New Golf Course’ at the 2017 World Golf Awards.
Francisco Cadete, director of golf at West Cliffs Golf Links, said: “It’s an honour to receive any award, and to have been acknowledged in a renowned international competition amongst such esteemed company makes everyone at the resort immensely proud.
