Palheiro Golf — Attraction in Funchal

Very nice course some stunning land contours to overcome short game need's to be on point if missing greens.putting is still gonna be fun quick sloping greens. Booked tee time no problem quiet morning great even got out a little early no one Infront no one behind. Perfect. Then comes the problem with having a nice big halfway house restaurant accessible from 3 points after the 5th 9th and 12th we decided we didn't need to stop by 7th hole we had court up with another 2 ball but not pushed from behind so held back as much as possible.they stopped after 9 as we got to 10 someone was just teeing off (strange we didn't see them Infront of 2ball) This continued the slowest 9 holes cumulating in 3 groups waiting on tee by the 17th hole in all honesty this ruined it for me having been to Madera a few times and played both course's. Won't be back here to spend €90+ to sit in a buggy for 2 hrs to play last 3-4 holes. Such a shame as course, view's ,...

Summary - Don't play and rather spend the day with something else than spending your time there.

We played 18 holes today and had to find out that the condition of the course is really bad.

I am not talking about dry conditions but a really bad shape from brown tee boxes to bumby greens that have not seen much greenkeeping at all on any of the holes.

When talking to the reception afterwards, we were told that the course is preparing for the winter season. Silly me, I thought October is high season over here with all the sun, warmth and daylight for best growth conditions. Anyhow, the course management was not any cooperative and insited on an overpriced greenfee despite knowing of that fact.

Don't expect much joy out of the scenery and the potential such location on the mountain might have. Right now and in this consition, golf is bad there.

We played other courses on other canary islands the days before....

If you're looking for a great golfing experience with stunning views, this place is definitely worth a visit. The location offers a breathtaking view of Funchal, and the course is playable for most of the year, making it a great choice for golfers who want to enjoy the sport all year round.

One of the standout features of this place is the recently refurbished restaurant. The new updates have made it a modern and inviting space to relax and refuel after a round of golf. The menu offers a range of tasty options that are sure to satisfy any appetite, and the friendly staff make dining here a truly enjoyable experience.

Overall, if you're a golf enthusiast looking for a beautiful course with great amenities, this is definitely a place to check out. With its stunning views, playable course, and excellent restaurant, it's a great option for a day out...
