The 2016 edition of the Riviera Golf Challenge took place in the Estoril Golf Club the 22nd October 2016.

The Estoril Championship Course started in 1929 and redesigned in 1936 by Mackenzie Ross. It is known as one of the oldest and most emblematic clubs in Portugal and where two of the Portuguese most important tournaments have been held frequently: The Portuguese Open 20 years and the Portuguese International Championship Amateur 63 years.

A long list of famous golfers have played on the Estoril Golf Course, including Ballesteros, Montgomerie, Sam Torrance, Canizares, Gene Sarazen, Peter Allis and Bernard Gallacher.

Overlooking Estoril and the sea, this 5200-meter-long course is set amongst eucalyptus, mimosas and pine trees giving a uniquely colorful touch that demands excellent tactics, challenges in accuracy rather than distance.
