    I have been coming to Penina since I was a child. It is tired. It needs some love. The layout is great and the course has a lot of potential. Greens are still excellent but the tee boxes and around the course, bunkers etc just need more love / attention / money. It’s just a bit scruffy and not had significant money spent on it in 20 years. Compared to other ‘golf resorts’ locally, it is a step down from even some of the relatively new / less well known places
