Penha Longa - The Atlantic Championship
Course Overview
Penha Longa Golf Resort’s Atlantic Course, located in the lush hills of Sintra near Lisbon, is a masterful 18-hole, par-72 design by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr. Nestled within the grounds of a historic 14th-century monastery, the course offers a unique blend of natural beauty, challenging play, and historical charm.
The Atlantic Course is known for its dramatic layout, featuring rolling fairways, elevated greens, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains and Atlantic Ocean. Its signature holes include the par-5 6th, with its challenging dogleg and breathtaking backdrop, and the par-3 16th, which plays across a scenic ravine. The course’s varied terrain, with water hazards and strategically placed bunkers, demands precision and skill, offering challenges regardless of handicap.
With the sister 9 hole course also designed by RTJ Jr, this is a perfect complement if you have the chance to play or if staying at this 5 star resort.
