Great customer service at the course and friendly, only criticism would be the cost of a buggy at €50 a lot more than you pay on mainland Europe

Played Palheiro on December 6,2024.
Greens were in very condition and rolled smoothly.
Dramatic and amazing hill top views of the ocean.
Will return in the near future to play again.

Second visit this week to Palheiro. This challenging course and needs a decent skill level to enjoy it. Very fast and tricky greens. Today was extremely challenging with extremely high winds for 50% of the round. A real work-out if walking. A proper test of golf skills and fitness! Afternoon tea post round was excellent.

Nice course with some interesting, and fun holes. Greens fast, and tricky to read. Definitely worth playing. Enjoyed it so much the first time, I went back for more.
Staff in the pro shop very friendly, and helpful.

Palheiras is a lovely course, plenty of elevation changes and interesting holes. Take buggy if you are not super fit! Also great views of Funchal, sea and surrounding area. Clubhouse has a nice relaxed vibes, good food (reasonable prices) and great, helpful staff. Not that easy to get to, roads steep and twisty. Well worth a visit.

First time we played Palheiro it needed maintenance. The fairways were a bit rough. The second time was superb, as the course was much better prepared. The views from both courses were incredible. Staff were friendly and facilities very good. Highly recommend it.
