Penha Longa Atlantic Championship
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.

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.

The course and facilities were great, but the course conditions were not good. The greens were patchy.

Didn't think the course lived up to its reputation. Driving range was very limited. Entrance was strange with parking not straight forward. Course was old fashioned and fiddly.

Challenging, majestic and beautiful layout in the mountains. Brilliant design but in need of some TLC. The greens were mottled and not a patch on Aroeira or Quita do Peru. They rely on robots to cut the fairways - which were in excellent Condition but the bunkers looked like they hadn’t been raked for days and their edges unstrimmed for weeks. Not a greenkeeper in sight all day and it shows. Friendly reception. I’d like to go back when there wasn’t a 60kph wind blowing!

Informed when we got there that greens had contracted a disease and they were right, they were in poor condition, no reduction or credit was offered.

Very well designed golf course with some great holes. Condition of the course wasn’t at the standard you might expect from a quality course. Fairways, tee boxes and rough were average at best.

Course condition after rain very poor, we booked a buggy in advance, but they don't tell us that we have to stay on the path way all the time. So we should better walk an use a electric trolley. But nobody talked to us.
