The Penha Longa Mosteiro Golf Course is situated in Sintra, only a 30-min drive from Lisbon. Situated within the Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort and forming part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, the 9-hole Penha Longa Mosteiro Golf Course offers views over some of Portugal's most incredible landscapes.
Quinta da Penha Longa, in Sintra, Portugal, is a relevant historical site because the first monastery of the Order of St. Jerome was built there in 1355.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Penha Longa Mosteiro Golf Course perfectly complements its sister course, the Penha Longa Atlantico. The Penha Longa Mosteiro Golf Course is less undulated than the Penha Longa Atlantico, and offers moderate challenges which will suit all levels of players. Some of the main difficulties of the Penha Longa Mosteiro Golf Course are its fast greens and narrow fairways.
Some interesting holes of the Penha Longa Mosteiro Golf Course are the 4th, close to an ancient monastery, and the 5th and the 8th, where lakes give a special beauty along with the romantic Sintra mountains. Not to be forgotten is hole Nr. 9, which offers a magnificent view over the Penha Longa Palace.
