While the island is known for its beautiful mountain vistas, Madeira and Porto Santo also have several outstanding hotels and three excellent golf courses.

When the Madeira Open was held at Clube de Golf Santo da Serra, it attracted some of the best players on the PGA European Tour.

Palheiro Golf is also a fantastic course, with spectacular views of the capital city and the Atlantic coast. Porto Santo Golfe, located in adjacent Porto Santo, has a spectacular setting. These possibilities have helped to place Madeira on the golfing map, giving it a wonderful alternative to the Canary Islands or the Portuguese mainland for golfers looking for a sunny getaway.
