Penina Hotel & Golf Resort is a golf resort in Alvor in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. The resort spans 360 acres (1.5 km2) and contains a hotel complex, golf courses, tennis courts, a football pitch, and a running track. It is owned and operated by JJW Hotels & Resorts.
History
In 1966, it was the first course to be built in the Algarve. The resort's 18-hole Championship Course, founded by John Stilwell [1] and designed by Sir Henry Cotton was originally called The Penina and has been the venue for the Portuguese Open on many occasions, most recently in 2006. There are also two 9-hole courses, the Resort Course and the Academy Course but the latter has been closed for a number of years and has fallen into a state of disrepair.
