Second visit this week to Palheiro. This challenging course and needs a decent skill level to enjoy it. Very fast and tricky greens. Today was extremely challenging with extremely high winds for 50% of the round. A real work-out if walking. A proper test of golf skills and fitness! Afternoon tea post round was excellent.

Nice course with some interesting, and fun holes. Greens fast, and tricky to read. Definitely worth playing. Enjoyed it so much the first time, I went back for more.
Staff in the pro shop very friendly, and helpful.

Palheiras is a lovely course, plenty of elevation changes and interesting holes. Take buggy if you are not super fit! Also great views of Funchal, sea and surrounding area. Clubhouse has a nice relaxed vibes, good food (reasonable prices) and great, helpful staff. Not that easy to get to, roads steep and twisty. Well worth a visit.

First time we played Palheiro it needed maintenance. The fairways were a bit rough. The second time was superb, as the course was much better prepared. The views from both courses were incredible. Staff were friendly and facilities very good. Highly recommend it.

Very nice fast greens the staff were fantastic and helpful. No numbers on tee boxes which wasn’t helpful as had never played there before. Buggies very run down it actually broke down on the 15th and we had to come in and push it up some hills. The staff said they are getting new buggies in the new year and gave us a free buggy for our next time which was great. All in all a lovely course with great views lovely staff and clubhouse.

A really wonderful golf course. Need to pay extra to hire the Taylor Made Stealth clubs as the older ones are very tired. Friendly staff who will do anything to make your day as enjoyable as possible.
