Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Campo de Golfe Porto Santo, and is the journey worth it for a golf trip?

Getting to Porto Santo typically involves a ferry from Madeira, which is part of the adventure itself. We think it's absolutely worth the trip; you'll find a truly unique island golf experience here, far removed from the usual crowded resorts.

What's the standout feature of the 18-hole course at Porto Santo, and what should I expect from the layout?

The back nine is where Porto Santo truly shines, especially holes 13, 14, and 15, which play along dramatic ocean cliffs. Expect a challenging but fair test, where the wind often dictates your club selection and shot shape.

When is the best time of year to play Campo de Golfe Porto Santo for ideal conditions?

We recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) for the most pleasant weather. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and crowds, and the course conditions are typically excellent with less wind.

Is the 9-hole course at Porto Santo worth playing, or should I just focus on the main 18?

Don't overlook the 9-hole Pitch & Putt; it's a fantastic way to sharpen your short game and offers a different, more relaxed vibe. It's perfect for a quick round after the main course or for beginners, and the views are still great.

Do I need a buggy at Campo de Golfe Porto Santo, and what's the typical pace of play like?

While the course is walkable, we highly recommend a buggy, especially on warmer days, as there are some significant distances between greens and tees. Pace of play is generally relaxed, so you can really soak in the stunning coastal scenery without feeling rushed.
