Penina Championship

Penina Champoinship Golf Course was previously known as the Sir Henry Cotton Championship Golf Course. The main 18 holes provide the most demanding test of a players skill in the Algarve, if not in Portugal. The inevitable difficulty that a flat landscape and terrain creates with club selection, the holes are crossed and flanked by a series of streams, ditches and water hazards, demanding precisely executed shots to avoid trouble and achieve par.|The course is beautifully maintained, winding past tall stands of eucalyptus and clumps of palm to mainly elevated greens which have subtle slopes and sometimes treacherous speeds.

Penina Championship - latest comments and reviews

Steve Wilson 2024-10-04
Course was in very bad condition. Wouldn’t go back and play again.

Gerhard Wittmann 2024-10-03
Platz in sehr schlechten Zustand. Service auch nicht gut, keine Carts bis kurz vor Beginn. Des Öfteren keine Infotafeln zum Bahnverlauf. -**- Course in very poor condition. Service also not good, no carts until shortly before the start. Often no information boards about the course.

Nicholas Jardine 2024-09-22
Most definitely one of the worst condition courses I have ever played, there was barely a blade of grass on the fairways and the greens weren’t much better. Completely run down and tired which was a disappointment to everyone in my group. If I could give it a negative score I would

JOHN BEESLEY 2024-09-20
Course not in good condition

Kieron Hudson 2024-08-18
Course layout was nice, condition was average in the front 9. Back 9 was much better. Hotel and resort is looking tired.

James Sutherland 2024-08-13
Staff were very nice but, like everyone's comments I’m sure, the course and infrastructure sadly lacks investment.

Alan Cherry 2024-07-05
Fairways very poor with many bare patches. Greens had bare spots on them. Buggies very dirty and stained and in a very poor condition

Austin O'Dwyer 2024-06-02
course is lovely but needs a lot of maintenance very burned fairways not great and greens full of pitch marks buggy was very expensive €52.50 only 35 in alto yesterday which was a much better course what a shame as I thought it would be much better being a champions course

John Redmond 2024-05-20
Course in very bad condition. Bad tees and fairways, course very untidy. Way too expensive for a golf course in such condition.

Ray Knowles 2024-05-12
No food / drinks buggy on course, but advised as such by golf shop before round

Eamonn Ryan 2024-04-19
We have played Penina Championship many times over the years and always found it a good challenge. This year the course seems to have suffered from lack of attention, particularly on the tee boxes and fairways. Hopefully these will be addressed and the course will comeback to its former glory.

Amanda Block 2024-04-06
A beautifully set up course but the water all round the course looks stagnant and smells. It is such a shame. Money needs to be spent on the course and the hotel. But enjoyed. Almost don't want to rate it highly as it may stop the owners spending money.
