The Penina Resort Course extends a warm welcome to newcomers and those seeking a leisurely game.
Crafted in 1966 by Sir Henry Cotton alongside the Championship course, this 9 hole beginners course provides a balanced and inviting environment suitable for golfers of all skill levels.

Parkland
The terrain at the Penina Resort course is typical parkland, set amongst established and ancient trees with ditches, ponds and bunkers. A couple of dogleg holes and a long par 5 compliment the tree lined 6th which also has a slight corner to negotiate.
Course Reviews

“Penina Resort offers a charming golfing experience with its 9-hole course, which has long been appreciated for its layout and the welcoming, friendly staff. The reception team is notably helpful and transparent about current course conditions. However, there are areas that need attention. Recent observations point to a decline in the overall condition of the course, including damage to some greens caused by wildlife. This, paired with rising costs, might leave some feeling that the value isn't quite up to par compared to previous years. That said, the greens were reported to be in good shape by some, and the absence of intrusive marshalling was a nice touch. With some care and investment, this course has the potential to return to its former glory.
