Santo da Serra golf course Santo Antonio da Serra

Full Description: Looking over the bay of Machico, where the Portuguese navigators first landed Madeira Island, lies the Santo da Serra Golf Course. Its original course, built in 1937, was redesigned in 1991 by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones who created a completely new and spectacular 27hole golf course in one of the most beautiful landscapes that nature may offer.

The Machico and the Desertas courses are the ones that are usually played on the Madeira Island Open, while the Serras Course slightly plain, maintains the same game level.

With four optional tees at each hole, the player encounters different game levels which may either lead to a simple relaxing game or to a more challenging test.

This is why Santo da Serra Golf hosts the annual Madeira Island Open, a tournament integrated in the PGA European Tour.

Golf stars, many of them Ryder's Cup players, are witnesses of the excellent quality of its fairways and greens. Semi-roughs and roughs provide evidence of the meticulous care given to the courses conditions.

Santo da Serra Golf course is 20 minutes away from the centre of Funchal and 5 minutes away from the airport and Machico.

To get there one must take the airport motorway and immediately before reaching the airport follow the signal to Santo da Serra.
