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 update 18th May

I haven't updated conditions over the last few weeks as not much has changed. They have been putting more sand down on the fairways and also sanded the greens sometime last week. The rough is getting thicker in preparation for the Open which is making the course tougher to play. The photos above still are a good representation of the course. The vending machine at the 9th likes to swallow money without giving anything in return so buyers beware. Otherwise everything is fine and we are all looking forward to the Open in a few weeks. Looks like the weather will be nice over the next few weeks so wishing you all a pleasant round of golf.
