The Home of Golf!!

The Penina Hotel & Golf Resort is renowned as the pioneer of golf in the Algarve, having established the first 18-hole course in the region. The Portuguese Open has been held at the Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course on ten occasions, and the course is widely regarded as the best in the Algarve and beyond. Sir Henry Cotton, a three-time British Open Champion, designed and laid out the course, which is both challenging and satisfying, as well as unforgivingly beautiful. The course features streams, water hazards, and precarious ditches, as well as subtle slopes and raised greens, which are notorious for catching even the most careful golfers off guard.
