There is plenty of golf beyond the championship round. The nine-hole Resort Course is a par 35 of 3,627 yards from the white tees, with tree-lined fairways and a lake creating decisions on a compact second round. The Academy Course is shorter again at 2,204 yards, a par 30 with 18 tees running through the Championship Course fairways. Its small greens make it particularly useful for sharpening tee shots, distance control and the short game before heading back to the main course. All three sit within Penina’s 360-acre western Algarve estate, so golf days are straightforward to organise without leaving the resort.
The hotel has 196 renovated rooms and suites, looking towards the Monchique mountains, the gardens or the courses. Between rounds, the seasonal complimentary shuttle runs to Alvor Beach, where the resort’s beach club operates beside the Dunas Restaurant from June to September with sunbeds, shades, towels and refreshments provided. Portimão, Alvor and Lagos give the week some easy variety away from the fairways, while Faro Airport is around 40 minutes by transfer. The hotel is cash-free, so card payment is required throughout the stay.
