Find your perfect
experience
At DMC Madeira, we craft golf experiences that combine world-class play with the island's signature comfort and authenticity. Whether for private travellers, corporate tournaments, or incentive groups, our programs merge precision logistics, fine accommodation, and tailor-made leisure.
Few destinations blend nature and elegance like Madeira. Here, fairways overlook cliffs, greens merge with the Atlantic breeze, and hospitality flows as naturally as the scenery itself, creating an unforgettable golf experience surrounded by Madeira's stunning landscapes, on courses crafted by legends like Robert Trent Jones Sr. at Santo da Serra and Cabell B. Robinson at Palheiro Golf.
Golf in Madeira is not just a sport, it's an experience between mountains, sea, and timeless serenity.
The courses – masterpieces in nature
Palheiro Golf – gardens above the ocean 18 holes
Designed by Cabell B. Robinson, Palheiro Golf offers a breathtaking course set 500 meters above sea level, surrounded by botanical gardens and Atlantic panoramas. Each hole reveals new views over Funchal Bay, making it as visually rewarding as it is technically challenging.
We arrange tee times, private transfers, and clubhouse dining reservations with seamless coordination. Guests can complement play with spa treatments or chef-led dinners in the nearby Casa Velha do Palheiro, a Relais & Châteaux property.
Santo da Serra – The Island's Historic Course 27 Holes
Home to the Madeira Island Open, the 27-hole Santo da Serra Golf Club offers dramatic elevation changes, lakes, and ocean vistas. Its three loops, Machico, Desertas, and Serras, are masterpieces of Robert Trent Jones Sr. design. DMC Madeira manages all logistics, from green fees to VIP transfers and tournament planning.
Porto Santo – A course by Seve Ballesteros
Designed by the legend himself, Porto Santo Golfe stretches along dunes and cliffs, offering both championship-level play and postcard beauty. The 18-hole course features wide fairways, seaside greens, and a sense of space impossible to find elsewhere.
Reachable by ferry or short flight, Porto Santo is ideal for 2-3-day golf extensions. Guests can relax in beachfront villas, spa resorts, or combine golf with wellness programs and yacht transfers for a seamless Atlantic escape.
Ponta do Pargo Golf – A Course by Sir Nick Faldo (under construction)
Crafted by the legendary six-time major winner, Ponta do Pargo Golf stretches along cliff-rim vistas and Atlantic panoramas, delivering championship calibre play in a setting of pure drama. Its 18 holes traverse elevation changes, seaside greens, and daring cliff-edge moments that few courses can match (the 16th green lies near the iconic Farol da Ponta do Pargo).
Here, fairways descend toward the ocean, greens merge with the horizon, and every shot unfolds as naturally as the scenery itself, an immersive experience designed to balance precision with majesty. Opening in 2027.
