Always a pleasure to return back to Penina Championship. Course was in good order with stunning greens. There was evidence that the recent bad winter weather had caused damage off the course. No real investment into the course to raise it to another level like some of its competitors leaves it wanting.

Greens excellent, fairways much improved but bunkers need more work.

Very good condition for this time of year, playing very long due to the saturated ground but would certainly become back again.

Storm Leo has left the course in a mess. However the greens are superb. It's a great layout that makes you think a lot about laying up.

Unfortunately the course was in poor condition due to the amount of recent rainfall. A very tired complex but a great course design, it really needs investment in both the infrastructure and the course.

The course held up well after the recent storm and tornados that blew through.
Some standing water but we coped.
Staff were not the most attentive or welcoming, but we did not let spoil the day.

A great layout but in need of better maintenance. Many greens with bare patches and generally bumpy.

The course is a good golf challenge. However its current standard of maintenance is poor, particularly the quality of the tee boxes & bunkers. There were areas of some fairways that were destroyed by what we assume are animals, possibly wild boar. The greens however were good. The pro shop welcome was efficient but by no means was it warm, friendly or welcoming.

Arrived at 9.30 for our 10.16 tee time and were informed that there were no buggies available as we hadn’t booked any. We have been going on golf trips to Spain and Portugal for 25 years and have never had to prebook buggies. We were told to come back 10 mins before our tee time and maybe 2 would be available. Eventually 4 mins before our tee time 2 buggies were “found”. Also no food was available at clubhouse until 10.30.

Unfortunately, Penina Championship was not in great shape. The fairways and greens were ok but the surroundings appeared quite neglected.

Overated and overpriced. Feels tired and very ordinary. Faded glory

Excellent golf course, just needed a little TLC in places and the bunkers didn’t have enough sand, borderline unplayable. Overall would highly recommend.

Friendly staff but course has seen its best a long time ago… driving range does not deserve its name with balls that are probably 10 years old and worn out… the course itself is ok but rough at the edges… hard to justify the greenfee I paid…

Great course fun to play fairways a little bare in places.

First time I played Penina Championship. The ruff was difficult after long period of rain. Tough course but specially number 12 and 13. A bit disappointing bad condition of many of the tees and the speed of the greens was not consistent. Very demanding course to play.

Friendly staff, efficient check in, fairways not in the best condition as suffering from the rain but wasn't busy which made it enjoyable.

Great experience at Penina. The layout is fantastic, yes the place could do with some investment but still a top quality course. Fairways and greens were in great condition!

I like this court. Maybe the fairways are not perfect, but I love their holes. Every thing has charme. Easy to play with trolley

It was nice to at last visit Penina today as hadn’t done previously. However we were extremely disappointed with a few aspects of our visit. We do not intend to visit again as a result.
Firstly we arrived to be told that there were no buggies or electric trolleys left, but we could have pull trolleys. However it did appear that hotel guests all had buggies reserved for them.
Secondly, the course was really in a terrible dried out state with very little grass on fairways etc. such a shame as could see that the layout was really good with well defined holes.
Today, the course was extremely busy. Waits at every hole.
No sign of any drinks buggy out on course.
Overall a very poor experience.

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.

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

Course layout was nice, condition was average in the front 9. Back 9 was much better. Hotel and resort is looking tired.

Staff were very nice but, like everyone's comments I’m sure, the course and infrastructure sadly lacks investment.

Fairways very poor with many bare patches. Greens had bare spots on them. Buggies very dirty and stained and in a very poor condition

Course in very bad condition. Bad tees and fairways, course very untidy.
Way too expensive for a golf course in such condition.

No food / drinks buggy on course, but advised as such by golf shop before round
