A masterpiece created by Sir Henry Cotton, the course has been carefully upgraded over the years and has played host to a number of major tournaments including the Portuguese Open on seven occasions.
Built on flat terrain, each hole has its own character with tight fairways lined with huge trees, strategic bunkers and well concealed water hazards to catch any errant shots. A number of greens have huge undulations and are double tiered, making accuracy imperative in order to leave a straightforward putt.
A par 73, the Penina Championship Course measures just under 7,000 yards and is a tough test of golf for the more experienced lower handicappers, although still seems a firm favourite among higher handicap golfers visiting the area, who are lured by its aura and prestige. This is an excellent addition to the quality of golf courses in the Algarve.
These extremely comfortable apartments are located in the heart of the Vale do Lobo Golf Resort, a luxurious, self-contained development in the Algarve.
Perfectly situated on the wonderful Algarve coast, the four star Dom Pedro Marina is just a ‘stones throw’ from the inviting blue Atlantic Ocean.
The Pestana Dom Joao II is a 4-star hotel overlooking the sandy Alvor beach with its calm, crystal clear waters. It is only 10 minutes on foot from the town centre, very close to the Alvor river.
Designed by Sir Nick Faldo with strategic play in mind, this championship course demands careful positioning to score well.
The Laranjal Golf Course is one of the newer courses and is located close to Quinta do Lago Resort in the Algarve.
Boavista has stunning views over the Bay of Lagos and also inland to the Monchique Mountains. Once you reach the turn you get the best views and can enjoy the halfway house.
Designed by Jorge Santana da Silva, this stunning signature course blends seamlessly into the natural landscape. Weaving around ancient rivers and trees that have stood for generations, the vistas of the greens and fairways create a naturally diverse setting for a truly memorable round of golf.
