Álamos Golf Course

Álamos is the shorter, more precision-focused 18-hole course at Morgado do Reguengo, north of Portimão. The par 71 layout looks towards the Serra de Monchique and uses small greens, lakes and surrounding countryside. It is a distinct course from neighbouring Morgado, with the same golf booking and practice base.

About the course

Álamos Golf Course shares the Morgado do Reguengo estate with Morgado but provides a separate 18-hole round. The operator describes relatively short holes and smaller greens, with views of lakes and the Serra de Monchique. That combination puts attention on approach shots and distance control rather than simply choosing the longest club. The course lies inland of Portimão, so it is better understood as a countryside golf option from Portimão or Alvor than as a course in the mountain town of Monchique itself.

The shared facilities include practice tees, putting and chipping greens, a golf academy, clubhouse and pro shop. Clubs, manual trolleys and buggies are listed for hire, and lessons can be arranged individually or for groups. Specify Álamos in the booking: the name of the resort alone does not identify which of its two courses you will play. The published golf rules require a handicap certificate and permit the operation to combine smaller parties during busy months. For a golf holiday with several rounds, contrasting Álamos with the wider Morgado layout is a straightforward way to vary the programme.

Penina Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course

Penina, Alvor, Portimão · Penina Hotel & Golf Resort / JJW

Penina’s main course is the 18-hole Sir Henry Cotton Championship layout, inland from Alvor. Streams, ditches, water hazards and raised greens give it a distinct strategic character. It is separate from the resort’s shorter nine-hole course, and published handicap requirements apply to championship-course play.

Penina Resort Course

Penina, Alvor, Portimão · Penina Hotel & Golf Resort / JJW

Penina’s Resort Course provides nine physical holes on the same estate as the Championship Course. Players can also book an 18-hole format using the same nine twice. The operator does not require a handicap for this course, making it a different proposition from Penina’s championship layout.
