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 25th April

I would like to welcome  Eduardo Johnston da Silva as the new golf director of Penha Longa. Eduardo has been the golf director at Prai del Rey Golf and beach resort in Obidos for the last 12 years so he comes with lots of local experience and we're happy to have him join us.
We played our anniversary tournament today and the course is back to very good condition (see photos above) and the shortage of rakes has been resolved. If you plan on visiting the course over the next few months you won't be disappointed! Book ahead though, as I am sure tee times will start getting booked up as we get into the busy season.
Other courses I recommend for Brendan are: Praia del Rey, Troia and Aroeira Golf Club. They're all nice courses with their own charms.
