Palheiro
Situated close to the famous gardens of
Quinta do Palheiro, which date back to the
beginning of the nineteenth century that are
famous for their wide range of exotic flora,
the Palheiro course offers fabulous views over Funchal bay, the
sea and the Ilhas Desertas in the distance. The par-72 course was
designed by the architect Cabell Robinson, a former assistant of
Robert Trent Jones, who had already done work in Portugal and
took care to make the most of the hills, mountain peaks and deep
valleys that are a typical feature of the Madeira landscape, in
order to provide golfers with an exciting and competitive round.
