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.

Because we were a party of 8 we had to pre order our food in the restaurants which was not ideal. The quality of the food was excellent but speed of delivery to the table was an issue which detracted from the experience. The management handled our complaint very well which was appreciated.

Absolutely charming staff couldn’t do enough for us . We were offered an upgrade to a junior suite for a reasonable sum . It was very spacious . Of course brits are finding everything expensive outside the UK but the buffet breakfast would get you through to dinner .

Top quality, large bedroom and lovely public spaces. Staff were very attentive and helpful. The location is superb - except when races are happening at nearby Estoril track.

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.
