Being home to the Portuguese Open Championship, Quinta da Penha Longa offers the discerning golfer a mighty challenge, whilst also affording the many pre-requisites associated with a top-of-the-range course.

The Penha Longa course enjoys championship characteristics, an excellent level of maintenance and beautiful panoramic views over the Sintra mountain range. In 1994 it was the location for the Portuguese Open Championship.

Penha Longa is a fabulous eighteen--hole course situated in Sintra, only twenty minutes from Lisbon. It forms part of the Protected Landscape Area of Sintra and Cascais, and is situated in a region full of historic monuments and wonderful hotels.

Robert Trent Jones II, the architect of the course, designed it to best take account of the steeply sloping terrain and excellent views of the surrounding moutain landscape and the sea. This means that the first three holes, and the final three are laid out in a valley wooded with pines and studded with granite outcrops. The 6th to the 13th holes, meanwhile, have been built on a hill offering extensive views over the region.

Its championship characteristics as well as its excellent level of maintenance contributed to its being selected, just two years after its inauguration, to host the Portuguese Open Championship. It was unanimously voted by golf professionals as one of the best courses on the European Circuit
