Madeira could quite possibly be the place to go for a golfing weekend away with your family or friends. Friday to Monday, it has just enough to make sure your weekend is packed full of golf, excursions, golf, food and more golf.
The Island sits southwest of Portugal and is home to just two golf courses. Palheiro Golf and Santo da Serra Club de golf. I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend over in Madeira and play in the Palheiro Golf Invitational - a great one day tournament for your everyday golfer or seasoned professional. The course provides challenging tee shots and slippery greens so I would highly recommend a practice round before letting it fly in the competition or you’re likely to do what I did and top it off the first tee!
