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.
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.
