What the club says: This is a resort course that has two sets of 9 holes. They are the Resort Course and the Academy Course. The overall layout of the course is quite flat, with trees lining the fairways. The fairways are wide enough for a few stray drives but there are a number of holes that will require a bit more accuracy.

Reviewed Jan 30 2020 by Ian S - rated 3 out of 5 Very wet but decent all things considering.
We have had horrendous rain here of late as such the course was just about playable. Noticeably a couple of local courses have closed. Back 9 was drier than the front 9. We had a slow round and had to miss 2 holes out as we had 2 four-balls in front of us ( we were 2 in a buggy ) who didn?t offer us through. But the greens are excellent and are all year round. Just at present the course like many others is suffering with the rain. Staff as always excellent and welcoming.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Sep 8 2016 by Cheryl M - rated 2 out of 5 Very disappointed with our round at Penina. Despite having booked a buggy in the UK we arrived and were told we had to wait for a buggy. We waited almost an hour for a buggy and the staff in the pro shop were less than helpful or sympathetic. In saying that the guy that got us a buggy was very helpful. But I was very disappointed with the course too. The fairways were shabby in parts and the greens not in good condition with pitch marks all over that had been left unattended. I was so looking forward to playing a championship course and felt it was left wanting - such a shame.

Reviewed Jul 20 2016 by Trevor R - rated 3 out of 5 I found this course rather boring for such a well known and established course.
I kept getting deja vu, as I approached many of the tee boxes, as so many looked the same.
There was no wow factor about any of the holes.
However we really should have warmed up before we played. We fell into the trap of "The course is empty, do you want to go now?"
We should have said, "No we are early. We will share a basket of balls on the range".
As it was, it took me 5 holes before I loosened up.

Reviewed Jun 8 2016 by Chris B - rated 5 out of 5 Tried Penina for first time, quite impressed. Course in great condition, green very true. Some great holes like par 3 13th over water and par 5 18th back towards the resort hotel. Buggy was included in price but decided to walk it with trolleys as quite flat course. Definately worth a game if in the area.
