Penina Golf Course
Course Information and Presentation
Penina, the first ever golf course built in the Algarve (in 1966), is considered to be the greatest masterpiece of the late Sir Henry Cotton, and is considered by many to be one of the finest golf courses in Europe.
Built on what used to be a rice field, Penina is a true championship course—mostly flat parkland with lots of water and having several thousand trees on the course itself. In 2003, refinements were made to Cotton's original work, including the extension of water hazards and the improvement of the visual appeal of the course.
Penina is a long course although it is suitable for golfers of any level. There are two 9-hole loops in Penina (the Academia Course and the Resort Course). With its extensive driving range and very large putting green (at about 1000 square meters), Penina is also excellent for practicing.
Penina served as the catalyst for the booming of the golf industry in the Algarve. It has since served many times as the Venue for the Portuguese Open, and is rated as one of the top 100 courses in Continental Europe by Golf World.
