Origins

The club was founded on 27 October 1987 as the result of an effort by golfers and supporters, particularly industrialists from northern Portugal, to establish golf facilities in a region that lacked them. Adalberto Neiva de Oliveira led the initiative and became the first president, working with Jorge Quintas, Alberto Quintas Mendes, Bernardino Leite de Faria and others.

Design Philosophy

Duarte Sotto-Mayor designed the course as an 18-hole links using the exposed Atlantic coastal site at Estela.

Development

In 1997 the founders, together with António Falcão and Amadeu Ferreira, bought a majority position from Sopete, S.A. The resulting Estela Golf, S.A. structure allowed participating club members to acquire equal shares.
