Hi Spider

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.

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.

Hi All

If this post is about Golf then i can't help. Some of you will know me from another place till 666 got in the way.

If you are after information about building cost and type of construction methods i personally am going down the route of Timber frame buildings. Timber Frame buildings going back 1,000's years are still standing. Construction methods up to 7/8 floors can now be built. The link below is to a trade association in the UK and it provides comprehensive data. This method of building is used across Europe and North America. Scotland for example housing figures for Timber Frame are now at about 40% and rising. The bottom link is to a Uk company that also works in Europe and provides information on how the various components are made. The main benefit for me is that i can lay in all the TV, Sound systems, Cleaning systems, Computer systems into the frame. Sun tubes, Underfloor heating, Air to Air heat exchanger. I can only build in Timber Frame because i get to be able to have what i want installed in the time frame. I could not get this time frame from bricks and mortar.

Build time can be from 8weeks to 12 weeks and key in hand just move in.

Build cost i have is 500 euro.

I hope that this is of help.
