Penina Resort Golf Course

Penina Resort Golf Course sits in Alvor, Algarve, Portugal, and operates as a resort course open to guests and visitors. Designed by Sir Henry Cotton and opened in 1966, the 18-hole, par-73 layout has hosted the Portuguese Open. The course plays across terrain marked by streams, water hazards, ditches, subtle slopes, and elevated greens. Bunkers feature heavily from the opening holes: hole 1 carries a bunker on the right, hole 2 adds bunkers left and a creek fronting the green, holes 3 and 4 bring narrow or short greens guarded on both sides, and hole 5 presents a large water hazard short of the putting surface. A 9-hole Academy Course, designed for intermediate golfers, is available on site. The Dunas Restaurant is located near the Beach Club on Alvor Beach, which also provides sun beds, shade, towels, and refreshments. Hole19 golfers have rated Penina Resort Golf Course 3.8, based on 50+ reviews.
