Palheiro Golf
Portugal
An 18-hole golf course in Portugal. Check out the scorecard, tees, course rating, and read user reviews below.

Description
Palheiro Golf on Madeira Island is one of Europe’s most beautiful golf courses. Set within the magnificent Palheiro Estate and lying adjacent to the five-star Madeira Island Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro – a Relais & Châteaux property – the 18-hole, par 72 Championship golf course meanders through a pristine environment of maritime pine and botanical woodland embroidered with lush, sub-tropical vegetation. At nearly 500 m (1640 ft) above sea level, the location is blessed with dramatic views of Madeira’s mountainous skyline and the vast Atlantic Ocean. Nestling below just 10 minutes away is Funchal, the island’s capital. Designed by renowned golf architect Cabell B. Robinson, this picturesque layout with year-round appeal takes full advantage of Madeira’s hilly terrain, with abrupt ridges and deep valleys providing a compelling challenge for even the most seasoned golfer.

Tolle Ausblicke! Pflegezustand okay. Würden wir wieder spielen

Green far too fast for their undulating, 3-4 putt territory on every green. Holiday golfers and anyone over scratch, beware. Santo de Serra is a much more pleasurable experience.

Mooie baan met mooi uitzicht. Wel jammer dat er bouw/ industrie naast zit wat soms het uitzicht wat belemmerd.

Played on: Mid-November, tee time after 1 pm with a special package for two players, including a buggy for €150. Course Condition: Impeccable. No bare spots or burnt fairways, and the greens are very fast and well-maintained. Signage: Excellent. Clear markings for every hole, with directions even along the road to the next hole. Scenery: Stunning views throughout the course. Tip: Be sure to reserve a buggy in advance. Overall: A must-play course! Highly recommended for its quality and value.
