The setting of the course can be considered as unique in comparison with most other courses in Portugal. Located in the parklands of what was originally a very wealthy 14th Century Monastery that has been very carefully restored. No expense appears to have been spared in creating this course and its surroundings that includes a residential development.|The topographical layout of the 18 holes is over gently wooded hills which adds to its overall beauty. The course offers interesting water hazards, some elevated greens and added to this is the challenge of the strong winds that some times occur. This course has to be played with respect for its architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. who has created a golf course that demands skill from the most experienced golfers. The course has hosted the Portuguese Open in 1994, 1995 and 2010 and several important international events.

A lovely golfing experience with Penha Longa returning to the condition that I remember it back in 2004,2005. A very challenging design but fair.

Club was very accommodating to reschedule to same day afternoon (twice) due to morning rain. Course is challenging with many uphill greens/approach. Excellent course, services, club house and restaurant.

We couldn’t use the driving range, which was closed middle of the day. Was not happy about that.

Played in the rain and the had just cut the grass – it was impossible to hit anything from the rough or fairway due to wet cut grass sticking to ball clubs, shoes. Greens were not ponding and the course was generally in good condition. Second time we played the weather was great and we enjoyed the course better. However, the well-draining greens were abused and impossible to properly put on (maybe because of wet conditions and patrons lack of attention to fixing the ball marks).

It’s still a lovely course, but………..The tees were terrible; they keep the space between the markers too small and for too long, so on many holes you’re standing in mud. Some of the greens are diseased, so it’s like putting across a field. They’ve obviously had lots of rain, but the drainage has to be improved, around both tees and greens. If you’re going to charge top prices, you really should look after the course better.

Really nice and playable course. Slow -4 hours 45 and very poor greens - fungal infection.
