Santo da Serra Golf Club – Z

Santo da Serra Golf Club looks over the bay of Machico, where the Portuguese navigators first landed on Madeira Island.
Its original course, built in 1937, was redesigned in 1991 by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. who created a completely new and spectacular 27 hole golf course in one of the most beautiful natural landscapes.

The 3rd and 4th holes of the Machico Course are the signature holes of the course, unforgettable to any golfer who plays them.
The Machico and Desertas course are the Championship course where the Madeira island Open is played, part of the PGA European Tour.  The Serras course is a delightful alternative with lakes, mountain views and a flatter terrain.

There are four optional tees on each hole, a player can choose different game levels – enjoying a simple relaxing game or testing yourself against the course as the pro´s do.

Golf stars, including many Ryder Cup players, have attested to the excellent quality of the fairways and greens. The semi-roughs and roughs show meticulous care and attention to the courses conditions.

The course is a true botanical garden, ornamented with four beautiful lakes and scenic views.

Santo da Serra Golf offers a complete range of facilities to its players and guests, including a comfortable clubhouse with panoramic restaurant, lounge, bar and terrace with stunning sea views. “Una Clubhouse muy bonita” was how Seve Ballesteros described it in 2001 when he took part in Madeira Island Open.

Located five minutes away from the modern motorway that connects Funchal to the airport, the capital city is just 15 minutes away.

Santo da Serra is ranked as the 12th Best Golf Course amongst the 75 existing in Portugal.
