Your golf trip to Madeira, Portugal

BY Alyssa Langler July 10, 2024

Last summer, I had the incredible opportunity to go on a golf trip to Madeira, Portugal. Known for its stunning landscapes, warm climate, and world-class golf courses, Madeira was the perfect destination for a golf enthusiast like me.

Upon arriving in Madeira, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the island. Lush green mountains rose dramatically from the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a truly breathtaking backdrop for our golfing adventures. The rugged terrain and volcanic origins of the island made for some challenging and unique golf courses that I was eager to tackle.

Over the course of our trip, we played on several of Madeira’s top golf courses, each offering a different and exciting experience. One of the highlights was Palheiro Golf, a stunning course set high in the hills overlooking Funchal, the capital city of Madeira. The course featured panoramic views of the ocean and the city below, making it a truly unforgettable round of golf.

Another standout course was Santo da Serra Golf Club, a challenging and scenic course that has hosted the Madeira Islands Open on several occasions. The course’s undulating fairways, fast greens, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains made for a memorable day on the links.

After our rounds of golf, we had the chance to explore the island and take in some of the local sights and sounds. We visited the historic town of Funchal, with its charming cobblestone streets, vibrant markets, and delicious seafood restaurants. We also took a boat tour to see the stunning cliffs and rock formations that line Madeira’s coast, as well as a visit to the famous Botanical Gardens to see the island’s lush and diverse plant life.

Overall, my golf trip to Madeira was an unforgettable experience. The combination of world-class golf courses, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality made for a truly memorable vacation. I can’t wait to return to Madeira in the future and continue exploring all that this incredible island has to offer.
