Surrounded by serene countryside and enveloped in a sea breeze, the Porto Santo Golf Course has everything you need to play golf the whole year round. It was designed by the Spanish golfing champion Severiano Ballesteros, and has been in operation for several years.
There is an 18-hole par-72 course plus a 9-hole par-3 course Pitch and Putt. It lies in an area that extends from the vicinity of the Chapel of São Pedro to the north coastal zone, giving golfers spectacular views over both the south coast of the island, where there is a magnificent beach with golden sands, and the north coast, with its beautiful cliffs and islets.
The Madeira Island Golf Open is a European calendar event, which every year attracts the best golfers to fight for victory hole by hole. According to the rules, the last two days of each tournament are played only by the 70 best contestants from the first two days.
If you are a golfer, don’t miss the chance of visiting the Madeira Islands that week and seeing for yourself the three excellent golf courses that Madeira and Porto Santo islands have to offer.
