Porto Santo’s brand-new golf course stretches all the way across the island from dune-rolling beach to dramatic basalt cliffs. It offers that ideal combination - natural beauty and a challenging game. The layout was designed to blend in with the natural landscape, and immense care was taken to minimize impact on the environment. It features two distinct zones - a South Course in the American tradition, dotted with lakes and demanding a long, precise game; and a North Course played along spectacular cliff tops.|There is also a nine-hole 'pitch-and-putt' course of par-three holes (ideal for training precision shots), and a driving range. The clubhouse is a triumph of modern design, but blends harmoniously into the landscape, with its dry-stone walling, natural wood and hip wicker furniture.
By the end of 2022, Porto Santo Golfe had a net operating profit of 212,100€. The whole amount spent was 763,000€, whereas the total amount earned was 977,000€.
This excellent outcome may largely be attributed to an increase in visitors from Northern Europe countries and the green fees.
“Our biggest revenue in 2022 came from the agreement with the Scandinavian countries with the respective 'green fees', to which is added the rental of buggies, electric and manual trolleys, as well as the 'club storage' services and the sale of items from the Pro-Shop”, said Nivalda Gonçalves, president of Sociedade de Desenvolvimento do Porto Santo.
After 18 years and 27 million euros in investments (golf course and real estate), Porto Santo Golfe has turned a profit.
A good outcome was achieved thanks to the efforts of the management business, the whole golf course employees, and the dedication of individuals who, over the course of 18 years, have built a lasting legacy on the island of Porto Santo.
Congrats to Porto Santo Golfe, a point of pride for those who supported the project and who work in the golf sector, a key component of Porto Santo's tourism offering.

Very nice golf course specially the back nine design. The course was a bit dry but it's August so acceptable, overall green fee a bit high for low season and expensive rented clubs for the quality provided.

Friendly welcome. Must play for any golfer visiting the island. A pity they don't offer a pick up service from your hotel. They do at night for the restaurant.
