2 golf courses · Penina Hotel & Golf Resort
Penina Hotel & Golf Resort is built around Portugal's first purpose-built golf course, Sir Henry Cotton's 1966 Championship layout, on a 360-acre parkland estate near Portimão. The five-star hotel adds a 9-hole Academy Course for warm-ups and beginners, six dining venues, and a golf academy on the same historic grounds.
The Resort Course at Penina is a 9-hole par-35 layout across the road from the Championship Course, playable as a full 18 holes by looping the same nine twice. Situated within the Penina Hotel & Golf Resort, it's an accessible option for beginners, families, or a relaxed round on the same historic grounds.
Designed by Sir Henry Cotton in 1966, Penina was Portugal's first purpose-built golf course and has hosted the Portuguese Open multiple times over the decades. The par-73 parkland layout is attached to the Penina Hotel & Golf Resort and retains the classical character of its era.
