is one of the most exclusive courses in Portugal. Its design is typical of the modern U.S. school and it is immaculately maintained.
Situated near Rio Maior, some 60 kilometres from Lisboa, the & Country Club is one of the newest jewels of Portuguese . Formerly access was restricted to members and their guests, but since August 1997 it is open to visitors.
Designed by the U.S. architect Rocky Roquemore, course covers 90 hectares, and is framed by a landscape in which beautiful local flora and gentle pines, decorative eucalyptuses and acacias all stand out. Its design is typical of the modern U.S. school, which means target is the most important point. The course totals 6,200 metres of championship tees for a Par 72 (37+35).
On the first nine, look out for hole 6, a Par 4 of 354 metres, in which the golfer has to hit the second shot over trees strategically placed in front of the fairway.
On the second nine, hole 10 you need to pay attention (354 metres). Here, in order to get a Par 4, the player has to make a second shot over the water onto a not very deep green.
The fairway grass at is Penn , is not often seen in Europe. Greens have Penn Cross and are quite sizeable but not too undulated. Bunkers are plentiful (87 altogether!) and, in many cases, very large. Seven water hazardas really only affect the "wide" golfer.
The restaurant provides very good meals with excellent wines, most of which are produced on the property. "Today's special" is likely to be a Portuguese speciality (which is well worth trying) but there is always a selection of international dishes.
