Portugal - Penha Longa
This fabulous 18-hole course is situated in Sintra, only 20 minutes from Lisbon. It forms part of the Protected Landscape Area of Sintra and Cascais in a region full of historic monuments and wonderful hotels. Robert Trent Jones II, the architect of Penha Longa, designed it to best take account of the steeply sloping terrain and excellent views of the surrounding mountain landscape and the sea. This means that the first three holes, along with the final three, are laid out in a valley, wooded with pines and studded with granite outcrops. Host to the Portuguese Open Championships, golf professionals unanimously voted Penha Longa as one of the best courses on the European circuit (maximum handicap 24 ladies/gentlemen).
