Designed by renowned architect Cabell Robinson, Palheiro Golf, on the Island of Madeira is a portrait of what you might call «true splendour». From the top, the view drops down over Funchal, a landscape truly worth experiencing. This is a par 72 course, with hills and valleys, typical of Madeira, which provide magnificent golfing moments to anyone who dares to challenge these silhouettes. It is impressive to play a round on this Madeiran pearl, considered one of the best golf courses in Europe, because, besides being well located (it lies next to the famous Quinta do Palheiro gardens, which date back to the beginning of last century), the course offers fabulous views over the bay, the sea and the Desertas Islands.
The 18-hole course, opened in 1993, is divided into five par 3 holes, nine par 4s and four par 5s; and it is on the 18th hole, the finishing hole, that the club house, in true Madeiran style, welcomes golfers for a break, lunch or simply take it all in, as you gaze out over the panoramic view of the city.

Golf lovers can take advantage of group and individual lessons; access to the golf clinic and shops; and much more. In this place, a setting packed with wild pine trees and botanical wonder, 500 metres above sea level, besides being enchanted by the course, you will also fall for the charms of the gastronomy. All you need do is... turn up, play, and stay at the five-star hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro – a member of the Relais&Châteaux chain. Finally, after a challenging match, nothing beats relaxing at the Palheiro Spa – where a wide range of therapies and beauty treatments are waiting for you.
