Penina Championship on Fri, 10th May 2024 Not good. What a let down for a course with a great history it is in a state of disrepair the greens and fairways are ok but the bunkers and tees are no sand and grass. It looks like no one cares. Such a shame for a course with this history .we have played 4 courses this week and they were In great condition so don't blame the weather |

Morgado on Wed, 8th May 2024 Morgado a disaster Not well kept and the staff were not very friendly. Rented clubs that were all beat up. Petty sad course. Abandoned half finished condos surrounding the course. Clearly the developer ran out of money. The course is in rough shape and not maintain ed. The club house is not real clean. Over all not worth the money. Greens were fuzz and the whole course is suffering from lack of irrigation. |

Penina Resort on Sun, 5th May 2024 Friendly staff. The course is difficult off the tee with narrow fairways and lots of trees. Fairways are a bit brown and dry, but the greens are in good condition and the ball rolls nicely. Beautiful nature around the course. Overall a positive experience, would play the course again. |

Penina Championship on Mon, 22nd Apr 2024 On the up - would definitely play again Having read some reviews that this was a poor imitation of its previous quality, we found it much better than expected. In generally good condition with excellent greens (quick and true), good fairways and is obviously looked after. Most of the tees were pretty worn, a consequence of the markers being in exactly the same place too often. Parts of the clubhouse looked tired while other parts were very smart in that old-school Iberian way. One minor point is that on arrival the lady at the reception desk thought I was a 1-ball with one buggy - our group was actually 6 players with 3 buggies. Fortunately this didn’t affect our booking but boy was she miserable! |

Penina Resort on Sun, 21st Apr 2024 Not as good as I expected Only played the resort course but it wasn't as good as I expected. Not very interesting, not very tidy. The 2 sets of tees are basically in the same place so no imagination there. All the buildings, signage etc looks tired or in need of fresh paint. I would hope the Championship course is better. Alto golf is cheaper and far better with 18 holes. |

Penina Championship on Sun, 21st Apr 2024 Fat Pete Clearly a course that is well designed as reflected in the Portuguese Championship being played there in 1997 but it’s now dated in so many ways and the pace of play isn’t marshalled sufficiently. |

Alto Golf on Sun, 21st Apr 2024 Do not come here Awful! Do not come here. Staff are so rude! Booked it and was told we couldn’t play, website incorrect and staff are diabolical. Rated one star but I wouldn’t even rate it that. |

Alto Golf on Sun, 21st Apr 2024 Lovely traditional course. Well laid out traditional type of course quite short but with small greens Friendly staff Had previously discounted it during previous trips but its worth the effort espcially for the cost compared to some of the bigger names |

Penina Championship on Sun, 14th Apr 2024 Großartiger Platz, wenn auch in die Jahre gekomme Ein traumhaft schöner alter Platz, der uns viel Spaß gemacht hat! Die Fairways und Grüns waren einwandfreiem Zustand. Schade, dass die Wege, Randsteine, Pfosten der Penalty areas und die Schilder an den Tees erkennbar verwittert waren. Das trübte ein wenig den sonst tollen Eindruck und auch die sehr sandige Driving Range könnte ein Update vertragen. Wenn das also der „Großvater“ unter den Plätzen an der Algarve ist, dann sollte Großvater mal zur Kosmetkubd sich aufhübschen lassen. |

Penina Championship on Mon, 8th Apr 2024 Below average course Poor signage to know where to go from car park to check in. Unfriendly staff member made us feel an inconvenience. Driving range balls were awful. The course was okay but nothing special and would not return |

Morgado on Tue, 26th Mar 2024 Best greens in the Algarve Morgado is a top golf course, completely out the way, up in the hills towards Monchique, no villas or apartments to play between just beautiful countryside with amazing views. Challenging course and in very good condition…..hands down they have the best greens in the Algarve IMO. Well worth a visit. |

Alto Golf on Fri, 22nd Mar 2024 A great golf experience. Played a twilight round in 3-1/2 hours (a foursome). It's hilly, a tough layout from the back tees and the course conditions were very good. I would definitely play this course again. |

Penina Championship on Wed, 10th Jan 2024 Disappointing Maintenance of the course is substandard. Not sure whether the Head Greenkeeper recently visited the course? He could at least see the numbering of holes is confusing and clearly shows lack of attention. In weather conditions like in Algarve one would expect to have a course in perfect condition and if not, at least they should not charge the green fee they charged. The nature of problems doesn’t promise anything better going to spring and summer.. The layout of the course, with all the respect to Sir Henry Cotton, is a bit repetitive. |

Alto Golf on Fri, 29th Dec 2023 A laid back golf course We've been playing here since 2005 and we like the course's layout. We feel that it suits players who are within hcp 14-22 perfectly. Fairways ok and greens well kept though slow. But we think it's sad that they closed the original hole 12 which was a short par 3 and the old hole 16 which was a par 6. The old layout was more enjoyable and original. |

Alto Golf on Tue, 5th Dec 2023 Great course Played here again on 30/11.23. Amazing conditions and a lovely, playable course. Good challenge with some nice par 3s. Highly recommended and I’ve played here a few times now. Always a friendly welcome and very laid back. Never seems too busy. |

Morgado on Tue, 5th Dec 2023 Not in a good state Strangely placed in the middle of unfinished buildings. Course was dry and brown in September. A good lay out but not in good condition when I played. Greens were good. There are better courses in the area. All felt a bit deserted. |

Penina Championship on Tue, 21st Nov 2023 Surprisingly good! Actually surprisingly good (despite loads of negative reviews). A bit bare in places and greens soft (so loads of pitch marks). |

Penina Resort on Thu, 16th Nov 2023 At great day at a wonderful old course What a wonderful day at the course. It was the people here that made the difference. Both Pro Shop and Restaurant staff were especially kind and responsive to our every question. The course itself in need of a large cash infusion. Maintenance is happening to the primary areas but it appears that the budget isn't allowing for full course grooming. Meaning fairways, bunkers and even to a larger degree the rough. We lost more balls today than any round I can recall. In spite of this, it was a lovely day, we enjoyed playing and we would at least consider coming back again to try the Championship Course. Food at the restaurant was delightful and all servers were please t and attentive. Food came out fast and was top notch. |

Penina Championship on Tue, 24th Oct 2023 A QUICK VISIT A nice round at Pinana Championship course. In my opinion, it is not a great Championship course. The greens are quick, but to many bumps and scuffs that could be sorted. The tee-offs needs some work. Overall, a good experience. |
