Course description
The Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course, formerly known as Penina Golf, is the main course of the Le Meridien Golf resort and can be considered as one of the best courses in the Algarve. The complete mix of hazards, make it a challenge and demand players to pay good attention to club selection. The course is very well maintained, bordered by trees and streams and presents golfers with a varying round.
Of the par-3's, the most memorable is the 13th - voted one of the best 500 holes in the world. The 185 metres (202 yards) 13th hole requires a long carry over water, the curving shape of the left-hand fairway, with out-of-bounds on both sides, encouraging the shot to deviate right into the hazard. The course is characterized by an unusual grouping of the par-5's, with four of the five arranged together in pairs at the beginning and end of the back nine producing a par of 38 as opposed to 35 for the front nine.
Facilities
Buggies, Trolleys, Driving range, Two chipping greens, Golf academy, Club hire, Proshop, Restaurant and Bar.
