Penina Championship

Samantha te Nijenhuis-Grondel 2026-01-24

Good checkin, everything was ready to start

Steve Bassi 2026-01-12

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.

Mark Boon 2025-11-17

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.

Ian Stokoe 2025-11-05

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

Robin Booth 2025-10-19

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.

Bernard Roche 2025-10-16

Lovely weather,course in good condition, not perfect but very enjoyable

Gerard Caulfield 2025-09-28

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.

Marius Fuhrberg 2025-09-24

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

MICHAEL JOHN LANE 2025-09-15

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

Tom Raper 2025-08-21

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

Fankhaenel 2025-08-18

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…

Michael Redfern 2025-06-28

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

Cyril Joyce 2025-06-07

Gettingvery tired looking .

Steve 2025-05-27

Still a truly great course

Brian Trenbirth 2025-05-07

Great days golf and hospitality..

Ingvar Kristinsson 2025-04-28

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.

Pamela Hill 2025-04-24

Fairways recovering from recent poor weather but greens are good

Pamela Hill 2025-04-21

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

Oliver Hewkin 2025-04-10

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!

Søren Rasmussen 2025-03-23

Great old course, like to playit again

Terence Henshall 2025-03-18

Quite wet due tor massive amounts of rain recently. Service excellent. Greens well looked afte

Adrian Brooks 2025-02-23

Fantastic breakfast. That and golf Service impeccable as always. Greens were amazing for this time of year.

Dirk Pahlke 2025-02-02

Greta course, super Greens

Steve Bassi 2025-01-17

Tees and fairways not the best but it’s a lovely course

BRUNO DE GIULIO 2025-01-10

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

Danny Sullivan 2025-01-02

Great day at Penina, staff & course were both brilliant

Glynn Roebuck 2024-10-22

Great course in good condition, very friendly staff, we all loved it.

René Østergaard 2024-10-19

Great layout Not great condition

Chris Fairhurst 2024-10-13

Course absolutely fantastic design, greens ok but fairways could do with a little TLC

Euan Esslemont 2024-10-05

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.

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

Brian Mcqueen 2024-09-05

It's been a few years since I last played Penina and I was shocked with the condition of the course. The course still has some great holes but badly needs some investment and TLC. Reception and shop staff were very helpful and friendly.

Ian Beattie 2024-09-05

Penina was in reasonable condition, probably the best of the 4 courses we played

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

DAVID JOHN GREATHEAD 2024-06-23

Course in very good condition playing long. Greens good and true. Very well looked after by all staff. Tough conditions due to playing in temperatures in the thirties.

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.

Brian Trenbirth 2024-05-13

Thoroughly enjoyed our round on the course which was in much better condition than when we last played it. Greens were excellent.

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.

Stefan Kobewka 2024-04-02

A great Henry Cotton layout spoilt by poorly maintained fairways and almost unplayable bunkers… they have not been raked after the heavy prolonged rain and are compacted sand. A real shame but the course just felt a little neglected.

Juha Virta 2024-03-24

An old style course in nice though flat surroundings. Bunkers not as good as they should be. Otherwise course was playing rather well, some faiways and semi rough were patchy.

Gavin Simmons 2024-03-22

Great golf course, a few patchy areas but overall a very enjoyable experience

Michael 2024-03-17

Penina was a little damp given the rain but the greens were in great shape.

Eric Deprey 2024-03-14

Nice but a little bit old. Needs an ubgrade

Trevor Murphy 2024-03-03

We had a great experience playing Penina Everything was on time and course was in good condition

Peter Basford 2024-03-03

Course is a very good layout, tight and tree lined. Fairways and greens in good condition.

Mikko Raunio 2024-02-10

Very good golf course, but sligthly outdated. Need better maintenance.
