Furnas Golf

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.
