Severiano Ballesteros, the course's architect, promised golfers and investors "a wonderful place" in Portugal's Oeste region; the resort presents the course as Seve's "royal" treatment of its 6,400-metre site.

When COVID-19 reshaped the 2020 calendar, the Open de Portugal returned to the European Tour as a dual-ranking event at Royal Óbidos, and Garrick Higgo won it by one stroke from Pep Anglès at 19 under for his first European Tour title.

The 3rd, a 144-metre par 3 (yellow tees), plays to an island green with the Lagoa de Óbidos behind; the club names it one of the course's signature holes.
The par-3 8th plays toward a backdrop of the Berlengas and Farilhões islands, with the prevailing wind coming off the ocean on the right.
Six holes of the back nine run through a chain of lakes linked by cascading watercourses, the inward half turned toward the Atlantic.
The 490-metre par-5 18th (yellow tees) looks back over the whole back nine, the clubhouse and the Atlantic.
