Posted on by

The finalisation of the Ponta do Pargo golf course (expected for 2026) will mark a transformative moment for Madeira's tourism.A few days ago, the legendary Sir Nick Faldo visited the stunning Ponta do Pargo golf course development in Madeira, and it’s safe to say this project is already making waves. Designed by the six-time Major winner and his renowned Faldo Design team, Ponta do Pargo is shaping up to be a game-changer for golf on the island.

Set on the westernmost tip of Madeira, this upcoming par-72 course promises jaw-dropping views and an unforgettable golfing experience. Picture yourself playing on greens perched dramatically close to cliffs, with the 16th green overlooking the iconic Farol do Ponta do Pargo lighthouse. Faldo described the course as “incredibly dramatic” and a “must-play” for golf fans.

This is Madeira’s first new course in over 20 years, and the excitement is palpable. Scheduled for completion in 2026, the project goes beyond the course itself. The development will also feature a driving range, a nine-hole pitch-and-putt course, a clubhouse, and a luxury hotel. It’s clear that Ponta do Pargo will be a destination in its own right.
