20 for ’20: The overseas courses you need to play this year
West Cliffs
Why go? This new Cynthia Dye design an hour north of Lisbon combines fabulous Atlantic views with a clever design that makes the most of the rolling land. Not the easiest in a breeze but already one of Europe’s finest. And 10 minutes away is its sister course Praia D’El Rey, a mix of pine-lined holes and awesome seaside ones.
