Golf Courses at Penha Longa Resort

Atlantic Course

The Atlantic Course is Penha Longa's main attraction, and was designed by the esteemed Robert Trent Jones Junior, the man responsible for so many of the world's top courses. The 6,786 yard course is now ranked as one of the top 30 golf courses in continental Europe, and features many dramatic holes that are cut through the resort's amazing sloping landscape.

The course is divided into two distinct sections, with six holes running through a valley and the remainder straddling the hillside. Penha Longa is consistently regarded as one of the country's top five courses, and was the host for the Portuguese Open twice in the mid-1990s, and the Estoril Open in 1999.

Signature Hole: Hole 6, Par 5, 404 metres (442 yards), SI 18

Penha Longa’s signature hole is listed in the top 500 holes in the world. This beautiful par 5 has a Roman Aqueduct as part of its surroundings. There are many spacious bunkers throughout the hole, and a large lake awaits peacefully towards the left of the green.

Monastery Course

The Atlantic Course may be the star attraction at Penha Longa, but its sister, the 9-hole Monastery Course is well worth a game. The layout is less undulating than the Atlantic, and is certainly not as challenging, but the views of the Sintra mountains are awe-inspiring, and are worth the trip alone.

A large, busy hotel but offering excellent service. Staff in the restaurants and at the main desk were charming and friendly. Our room in Golf wing faced south which was a benefit as there was a very strong northerly wind at times. The room was good, plenty of storage and a bathroom with a simple to operate shower. Several dining options from Italian, tapas, burgers up to Michelin starred restaurants.

Fabulous hotel just 30 mins from Lisbon airport. 5 star attention from staff in a very friendly way. Room was spacious with a lovely bathroom. Great facilities too with several restaurants and bars. Food and drinks were expensive but that was expected given the 5 star rating. I'd definitely stay here again.

Long course, beautifully located and very hilly. Some fantastic aspects towards coast and hills with views towards the large bridge and statues of Lisbon. Very natural looking course, not as manicured as some of the publicity material but did not affect the play at all and is in keeping with its setting. Extremely smart bar, small pro shop.

Best course of the three we played, saving the best until last. Tough course with some challenging long holes. Greens suffered from a lot of pitch marks and it is a shame they have not been repaired by previous players. Clubhouse is one of the best I have experienced - feels like a club / up market restaurant and bar!

The Championship golf course is enjoyable if you can avoid busy times. The starter was very helpful in getting us away before the large groups. Greens were slow and the bunkers not well presented.Buggies at 55Euros are expensive when compared with local rates.

round spoilt by two groups of 4 in front of us who frankly hadn't a clue about playing through etc ( they were French) It took the Marshall to come out around the 13th hole to push them along and they finally let us through on the 15th !!! Only to then get behind the first 4 ball on the 17th. Great course and views from various holes where spectacular.

Nice track. Massive elevation changes which gave you stunning views over the undulating course. Greens were lovely and smooth but not that fast. Quite challenging in parts where the wind affects it. For me its worth the 55 euros for the buggy although it was cart path only but the longest round was 4hrs fastest just over 3hrs.

This the course was a gem. It was very attractive and good for visitors as plenty of space. Visually great and we took lots of photos- but as a test of golf not so great - the greens were lightening fast and undulating. The clubhouse was very swanky - the service by caddies - cleaning our clubs after the game, setting us up in the buggy very good and appreciated. Practice area was good.

The golf course is brilliant, loved it, every hole had a different challenge, would play it again definitely. The negatives- the electric trolley was dangerous, something a 10 year old would rustle up in a metal work class and very expensive. I played with a couple from Denmark and they stated it would NOT be legal there.The price of water is SOOO expensive 2.50E for a small bottle [infact even a kitkat was 2.50E], I know its a fancy course/ complex but I don't appreciate getting ripped off.

As with Estoril another of our favourites which suffers slow rounds as it is so popular. Another course hewn out of the natural terrain and a good test of ability. We would always choose to play Estoril and Penha Longa despite the slowness as they are such great courses to play.

Only one person on desk to receive parties of people and different nationalities all paying individually. Large queue of parties waiting to pay their golf and get their buggies, practice balls and other accessories, lacking staff on paying desk, all other facilities very good.

Course was in excellent condition and the greens were very good and very receptive. There are some spectacular holes providing challenging second shots to the green. I played off the yellow tees and it's not overly long - par 5s just about reachable in two really good shots. The finish is excellent - 26 being the stand out hole and 17 and 18 played back towards great views of the hotel and tree covered landscape. Really enjoyed it.

We played this 9 hole course on Sunday afternoon and it was quiet (albeit foot golf was scheduled being us which led to a little confusion about which flags were ours). Course in decent condition, less challenging than the Atlantic course but good for a quick 9 holes.
