Montado Golf Resort (new venue)
The perfect combination of golf and leisure
Surrounded by the vineyards that give origin to the famous wines of the Palmela/Setubal region and set in a cork oak landscape, the Montado Hotel & Golf Resort is a perfect destination to enjoy the best of the region and to get out of the rut.
With 90 rooms and 3 suites, all with balcony, stands out the golf course that has been hosted the most important competitions in Portugal, famous for the green of hole 18 located on an island, its signature hole.
History
The European Ladies' Team Championship, first held in 1959, is one of the oldest tournaments in the European Golf Association's roster and is contested annually by approximately 20 teams. Since its earliest days, the tournament has featured a blend of stroke play and match play formats, and is currently contested across five days of competition.
The women's team event was the first European-titled amateur championship organised by the EGA, alongside the European Amateur Team Championship more than 65 years ago. Six nations contested the first edition, which was won by France in Cologne, Germany.
The tournament was originally contested every second year up until 2008, when it moved to an annual frequency.
The event has seen many of Europe's biggest stars represent their countries before turning pro, including:
- Annika Sörenstam (SWE)
- Suzann Pettersen (NOR)
- Anna Nordqvist (SWE)
- Caroline Hedwall (SWE)
- Céline Boutier (FRA)
- Sophia Popov (GER)
- Carlota Ciganda (ESP)
- Charley Hull (ENG)
- Linn Grant (SWE)
- Maja Stark (SWE)
- Bronte Law (ENG)
- Anne Van Dam (NED)
