The balmy climate of the two islands means that golf is a year-round activity here. Two golf courses have been built in the exceptionally beautiful landscapes of Madeira, while Porto Santo has one.
Since 1993, Santo da Serra Golf Club has been playing host to the Madeira Open, at the start of Spring, an integral part of the PGA European Tour.
This golf course is known as one of the most spectacular golf courses in Europe, not only because of the architecture of the course itself, but also thanks to the amazing vistas it affords, over mountain and sea.
This is a 27-hole golf course.
The other course is Palheiro Golf Club. This is in the mountains to the east of Funchal, and offers a staggering view over the bay and the city.
This is an 18-hole course.
