Penina Championship Golf Course

Penina Championship Description

The Penina Championship Golf Course is the grandfather of all courses in the Algarve and a permanent living memory to its architect and active promoter, Sir Henry Cotton. It was originally paddy fields for rice growing that has been converted into a flat challenging course and especially for the stronger player. Something short of half a million shrubs and trees were planted in the conversion. As the fairways are flat Henry Cotton introduced strategically placed water hazards to catch the unwary long hitter.

Great course. Greens need attention but overall it's a great place.

Not a good day

Sverker from Denmark
We were very disappointed. The standard of the course was low. Greens were good. It took us 2h40min to complete 7 holes. and over 5 hours to complete 18 holes. We waited at every hole and there were no personnel to speed up the game .

Loved the course. It was also very quiet which made it even better

Needs a bit of work

Stan Mack from United Kingdom
A good course but seems to suffer on the fairways and water due to it being part of a hotel. Not as good as in previous visists and it could do with a bit of TLC around the fairways as they seem to be suffering from overplay
