GOLF COURSE REVIEW. Penina golf Course is a legendary and highly renowned course in the Algarve. The layout of the course is superb. This is a proper golf course. The huge greens are fantastic, some holes very long and some shorter. All par 3 holes are a challenge. The reason for only giving the gem 3 stars is entirely due to the October 2023 condition. Greens are somewhat good but the rest of the course is not in good condition. I know they had issues with water in the summer, but then don’t charge 115€ for a round. The flag sticks are old, just to give an example. The entire place need a a big overhaul and needs to get up to 2023 standards in order to keep their esteemed status. Too bad for such a great course

This wedding venue must be considered if you're looking to get married in Algarve. The golf courses, the palm trees and the classic decoration of the hotel create a really beautiful atmosphere!

Can't really comment on the Hotel as I only used the terrace, but the Golf Course is a shadow of it's former self and can only be surviving on it's previous reputation. Still a good layout but the condition can only be described as a disgrace. We ended up playing improved lies but even then you could not find any grass within 20 ft. Give it a miss, there are plenty other courses in far better condition!

Visited for lunch which was very tasty and the service was friendly and efficient. Great view of the gardens from the terrace. Lovely hotel to visit but unless a golf fanatic or happy to lie by the pool, relax all day we wouldn't be so keen to stay, as would require a car journey every time you want to go out.

My room should contain a bottle of water, but it didn't give it to me. I asked the front desk for water three times. The front desk said it would be delivered to me, but it didn't give it to me until I checked out! In the morning, I asked the front desk for water again. The front desk said to give it to me now, but I have to check out! I asked the front desk if I could take away the plastic bottles. He said there were no plastic bottles! Very poor service!
