This blog was originally created as many members had doubts to whether the course would be playable for the Open on April 1st. My original plan was to give weekly updates regarding the condition of the course. As the Open has now been postponed until June, my aim is to take the blog in a new direction. Leaving politics aside I will continue to update you on course conditions as I find them so that you know what to expect when you arrive to play the course. I welcome any feedback or suggestions you might have and will also be adding more course reviews soon. You can reach me at weekendgolferportugal@gmail.com. Photos have been moved inside the corresponding blogs.

Penha Longa golf course conditions 5th April

This last week has brought more sun and the course is starting to shape up. The fairways are in much better condition, the ball is starting to roll and there are a lot more smiles around the course. We are finally getting some good conditions and can say goodbye to winter rules. With another week of more sun on its way, it can only get better. There are still quite a few bunkers without rakes so if anyone from Penha Longa is reading my blog, please head out to the nearest garden centre and load up on rakes as it is quite annoying.
There is still no official word of who our new golf director is, as soon as there's news I'll let you know.
If anyone is planning to play Penha Longa in the near future you won't be disappointed!

It is improving each day when the sun is shining. It must be in great condition in June when we host the Portuguese Open.
