Penha Longa Atlantic Championship

 

Description

 

Penha Longa Atlantic sits in the wooded hills above Lisbon, laid out by Robert Trent Jones Jr in 1992 beside a monastery founded in 1355. Little else in Portuguese golf shares this setting: granite outcrops, rising forest, and the old monastic buildings that gave the estate its name, now the centrepiece of a Ritz-Carlton resort inside the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.
The course runs out and back, dropping gently downhill through the first ten holes before climbing again toward the monastery to close. Elevated tees and greens sharpen every decision, and wind off the hills adds a further layer to the test. Short par fives reward a well-placed drive, while two compact par fours at the 3rd and 13th punish anyone reaching for more club than judgement allows. The 6th is the hole most golfers remember: an old aqueduct and the ruins of a castle wall frame a lakeside green. The Atlantic hosted the Portuguese Open in 1994, 1995 and 2010, and continued investment in course maintenance has brought conditioning back to the standard those honours suggest.
Facilities run to a full-length driving range, a golf academy with resident professionals, GPS-equipped buggies and a clubhouse with restaurant and snack bar. Few courses in the Lisbon region combine history, terrain and pedigree quite like this. Book Penha Longa Atlantic through Tee Times and secure your round at one of Portugal's most distinctive golf addresses.
