Where greens and fairways meet the blue of the ocean, an authentic landscape awaits you on the golf course of Batalha. This golf course, designed by Cameron Powell in 1986, has 27 holes spread over more than 120 ha, with its magnificent landscape, nestled on the hillside and with breathtaking views of the sea. Remarkably maintained, it has large greens, wide and generous fairways and tricky bunkers.
It is difficult to choose the best hole (s). Indeed, they are all different and all have a technical interest. However there is a very special feeling shared by all golfers when you are on tee 15 which offers an exceptional and bright panorama. The facilities were opened to the public in 1993 and its large Clubhouse provides a unique setting for weddings, banquets and other events.
Batalha Golf Course is located on the north coast of São Miguel Island, just 10 minutes from the center of the capital, Ponta Delgada.
Furnas is a spectacular golf course nestled in the heart of a grand volcanic landscape with lush tropical vegetation. It is a truly amazing golf experience.
History of Furnas golf course
The first nine holes of the course were drawn by Mackenzie Ross in 1936 and are the island's first golf course. In a landscape of spectacular natural beauty that leaves you speechless. Brilliantly redesigned by architects Bob Cameron and Chris Powell in 1992, the course now has 18 holes and a Clubhouse, in a welcoming British style.
It is certain that MacKenzie Ross would be delighted to see that the construction of the new 9 holes respect the spirit and style of his original design. Indeed it is impossible to distinguish the first 9 holes from the new ones. The 18 hole course seems to have always been there.
Situation and setting
The course is dotted with majestic Japanese cedars and tormented greens, which makes it quite delicate in nature, but it is without a doubt a real test of skill and finesse of play for all golfers.
Furnas Golf Course is located in one of the most beautiful areas of São Miguel Island, on a plateau at the top of the Furnas Valley (with the famous thermal springs and the Terra Nostra Garden) and close to the superb Furnas lagoon. The golf course is just 25 minutes from Ponta Delgada and 15 minutes from Caloura, Água d'Alto.
