Hi all,
thanks for all responses to golf courses etc. Have moved on a bit now. Have got all planning permission for build and am looking to get quotes very shortly. The golf course bit has also moved on as now I am looking around the Coja-Arganil area. Any further help would be great. If it helps anyone my planning permission through the Camara in Arganil took approx 2 months.

Regards

Don't know if you've had an answer re the golf course. I think the nearest course is the Montebelo Golf Course in Viseu. I have a property in Mortagua, Coimbra and its approx 30-45 mins from Mortagua. I have visited the course but not yet played there. I understand that European Snr championship was held there a while ago - so it should be of an excellent standard. It certainly looked impressive when I visited.
There is also a 9-hole course in Anadia - near the spa in Curia. In Coimbra city itself there is a 9 hole par 3 in Quinta das Lagrimas - I think.
Hope this is helpful.[/QUOTE]
