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.

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!
