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.

Course Reviews

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

Phil from United Kingdom
Looking a little neglected. Bunkers not raked and very compact. Needs some TLC to get it back to where it deserves to be

mark from United Kingdom
Very disappointed - course was tired -close on 5hours to complete - considering the green fee - poor value for money - will not be returning
