dering the Ria Formosa Estuary. Positioned in the western Algarve, Penina Hotel & Golf Resort is
renowned as the true home of Portuguese golf. The only resort
in Portugal to offer three golf courses, its par 73 Sir Henry Cotton
Championship Course was the first 18-hole course to be constructed
in the Algarve and is noted for offering some of the finest and most
challenging golf you can find anywhere, making it a must-play on any
visit to the region. The resort is set in a stunning 360-acre estate amidst
beautiful natural landscape surroundings. The marquee championship
course has hosted 10 Portuguese Opens and scores of other prestigious
tournaments. The Academy Course and the Resort Course both provide
a golfer the opportunity to fine-tune one’s short game, while offering
gentle training grounds for beginners. The greens are relatively small and
accuracy off the tee and for approach shots is required. Penina also offers
guests a host of other amenities, including the Algarve’s largest private
outdoor pool (unheated and seasonal), floodlit tennis, a beach club and
the Kangaroo Club for children. All make it the perfect holiday destination
with golf at the top of the list.
