The Santo da Serra golf course overlooks the bay of Machico, where the Portuguese navigators first landed on Madeira Island. Its original course, built in 1937, was redesigned in 1991 by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones who created a completely new and spectacular 27 hole golf course in one of the most beautiful landscapes that nature may offer. Santo da Serra Golf hosts the annual Madeira Island Open, a tournament integrated in the PGA European Tour. Golf stars, many of them Ryder's Cup players, are witnesses of the excellent quality of its fairways and greens. Semi-roughs and roughs provide evidence of the meticulous care given to the courses conditions. A true botanical garden, ornamented with four beautiful lakes, full of trees that give shade from the brilliant Atlantic sun.
