Numerous professional golfers consider Penha Longa Golf Club to be one of the best courses in Portugal. You can understand why: The challenging Atlantic Championship course was laid out in the middle of an idyllic nature reserve between Sintra and Cascais. Pine trees, massive granite rocks and historic walls characterize its face. At the beginning and end, you play in a valley, while the other holes stretch over hills and offer wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The challenges of the Parkland course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. include the cleverly placed water hazards.
