A bit hilly but other than that enjoyed the golf. The views are spectacular. The clubhouse and pro shop are nice as are the staff. Course was in good condition. The clubs were great.

The course had fabulous views of Funchal, it was a short course but the greens were tricky, there was work being done possibly to create additional holes. I would definitely play it again. Only issue was at reception they were going to charge us for the buggy and hire clubs which we had already paid for but once I showed our email booking this confirmed we had already paid that part.

Staff were excellent, we had a 90 minute delay due to fog but they got everyone out and made it a lovely day.

Great course, scenery is top notch. Tight fairways, lots of elevation making it challenging. Staff treated us very well.

Beautiful mountainous amateur course in reasonable technical condition. Very nice appearance and excellent service at the club.

A very nice course with stunning views that needs to be played more than once as there are quite a few blind shots. The greens were really good, fast and true. The only problem was a slow 4 ball and 3 ball in front that we caught up with on hole 4 and they held the whole course up for 5 hours.
The club house was lovely and the food and wines were to class.
