Penha Longa Golf Resort
Penha Longa Golf Resort, located in the beautiful Sintra Region of Portugal has long been recognised as one of the greats and is ranked in the top 30 Courses in Continental Europe.
Located near Lisbon, this golf resort features bold drives, courageous approaches and artful greens. The course is both an adrenalin rush and a soothing journey through one of Portugal's most inspiring landscapes. The opening holes and the final flourish share a wooded vale in the shadow of the rocky mountains, while others arc and plunge over scented hillsides.
Exciting at every turn, this championship test and host to the Portuguese Open, is a master of variety and thrills. The Atlantic Course designed by the famed Robert Trent Jones Jr., is Sintra golf at its best. Its sister, the nine-hole Monastery Course, is a perfect partner. Equally pretty but a fraction less demanding, this unique course provides a golf experience in Portugal you will never forget.
