Madeira is a pearl of an island known for its year round mild
climate, semitropical gardens and stunning natural landscape. Situated
in the North Atlantic some 500km from the coast of Africa the permanent
spring-like climate has attracted British holiday makers for years to
enjoy the traditions and culture of this Portuguese island.
For golfers, the two beautiful golf courses set up in the hills
with magnificent views and offering 45 holes may seem to offer a limited
golf experience but this is far from the truth! The topographical
features of both courses demand all your skill and attention and you
will want to repeat the experience many times.
Madeira offers plenty of opportunities to explore on your golf free
days but watch out for the roads which are often narrow, winding and
precipitous and used for commercial vehicles just as much as for private
cars. The locals take it all in their stride and at speeds that may
seem suicidal but you soon get used to it! Madeira's coastline just has
to be explored for the amazing views and natural beauty and the gardens
at Palheiro should not be missed. Funchal itself is a busy town with old
narrow streets trying to cope with modern traffic! It is nevertheless
definitely worth a visit for its range of bars, restaurants and shops
many of which can be found down the quieter cobbled streets of the old
town.
