Palheiro Golf, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, sits within the magnificent Palheiro Estate, which is more than 200 years old. The charming course – which was designed by acclaimed golf architect Cabell B. Robinson – borders the five-star Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro and meanders through a pristine environment of maritime pine and botanical woodland, garnished with lush, sub-tropical vegetation.
And, at nearly 1,640ft above sea level, the location enjoys dramatic views of Madeira’s mountainous skyline and the vast Atlantic Ocean, as well as – nestling below, just 10 minutes away – the island’s capital, Funchal.
