Porto Santo Golfe – Seve’s Atlantic Masterpiece

Stretching across the golden island of Porto Santo, just off Madeira’s coast, Porto Santo Golfe is a par-72, 18-hole championship course designed by the legendary Severiano Ballesteros. Routed from rolling dunes to dramatic basalt cliffs, it’s a rare blend of natural beauty and strategic challenge — with ocean views on nearly every hole.
