>> algarve west Penina Golf Resort Only a short drive from Portimao is the stunning Penina Golf Resort. Set in a vast 360 acre estate, Penina offers golf enthusiasts a complete golf break. Penina offers three golf courses: an 18hole par-73 Championship Course, A 9-hole Academy course and a 9-hole Resort Course. The Sir Henry Cotton Championship course, has hosted the Portuguese Open eight times and is a must play on any visit to the Western Algarve. The Academy course and the Resort course both provide a golfer the opportunity to fine-tune one’s short game, while providing gentle training grounds for beginners. The greens are relatively small and therefore accuracy off the tee and for approach shots is required and it also provides players the opportunity to fine tune their short game.
