Golf Competition

Portugal golf competitions - Penina Championship

Penina Championship Portimão, Algarve

Penina Championship is a Sir Henry Cotton design, located just inland from the coastal resort of Alvor. A very challenging course which is very flat, narrow and long. You will find very good greens which are very well protected with bunkers. There are trees and high rough, you will need to play straight or you could easily go out. There is a long Par 4 to start which is slightly challenging and has a dog leg left. Penina would suit players of all standards and is a fairly friendly course for ladies enabling them to enjoy a shorter distance with 676m between the red and yellow tees. A great golf course with one of the Par 3’s, hole 13 the most memorable and voted one of the best 500 holes in the world! (...)

Competition Hotel Suggestion

Portugal golf competitions - Penina Hotel Golf & Resort

Penina Hotel Golf & Resort Portimão, Algarve

Set within 360 acres of landscaped gardens in the Algarve’s sunlit south west, Penina Golf Hotel places you at the crossroads of heritage and fairway. Just minutes from Portimão and Lagos, you arrive where English architecture stands crisp against Portuguese skies, and hospitality feels both polished and deeply rooted.

You wake to the hush of manicured greens and distant swings cutting through the morning air. The fairways stretch wide, disciplined and inviting, while the expanded driving range offers twelve covered bays and space for up to seventy players. Here, you refine your time, adjust your stance, and watch each ball trace a white arc against the blue.

Beyond the course, terraces, pools, and attentive service shape unhurried afternoons. Families find space to roam, golfers find precision and challenge, and you find a rhythm that balances play with pause. In this setting, the European lifestyle is not a slogan but a lived experience, measured in sunlight, quiet confidence, and the clean strike of a well-played shot. (...)
