Key Features
Set high above Funchal within the Palheiro Nature Estate, Palheiro Golf combines Atlantic views with an engaging test of golf. This 18-hole, par-72 course winds through mature woodland and subtropical vegetation, with the island’s mountainous landscape providing a memorable backdrop.
Designed by Cabell B. Robinson, the layout makes full use of its hillside setting. Elevated tees, sloping fairways and well-placed bunkers reward thoughtful shot selection, while changes in elevation add variety throughout the round. Several holes call for careful judgement of distance, making course management just as important as power.
Palheiro is an excellent addition to a Madeira golf holiday, particularly for golfers staying in Funchal. Pair a round here with Santo da Serra to experience both of Madeira island’s courses. Browse our Madeira golf holiday offers to find a package combining accommodation, golf and transport.
Palheiro Golf opened in 1993, with a design by Cabell B. Robinson that incorporates the estate’s established woodland and natural contours. Its setting gives the course a distinctive character, bringing together Madeira’s gardens, mountain scenery and ocean views.
The clubhouse provides an inviting place to relax after your round, with panoramic views over Funchal and the Atlantic. Enjoy a meal or refreshments at the Vista Balancal restaurant and take time to compare scorecards while looking out across the bay.
