PENINA CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE - DESCRIPTION
The grandfather of all the courses
in the Algarve and a permanent living symbol to its architect and
active promoter, Sir Henry Cotton. Originally paddy fields for
rice growing rice have been converted into a flat challenging
course and especially designed for the stronger player. Something
short of half a million shrubs and trees were planted in the
conversion. As the fairways are so flat Henry Cotton introduced
strategically placed water hazards and bunkers to catch the unwary
long hitter. It has many times been the home of the annual
Portuguese Open which is now referred to as the Algarve Open.
