Golf on the Azores

The Azores are perfect for playing golf.  With the temperate weather year around, the breathtaking views of sea and mountains in every direction, even the most avid golfer will find it difficult to keep their mind on the next stroke.

São Miguel Golf

Golf on the island of São Miguel can be enjoyed at the BATALHA golf course.  The course offers 27 holes in all which can be played in different combinations to make up an 18-hole game.  The course features scenic panoramas of the sea and the view of scenery through the trees is awesome.  The course is located out of Ponta Delgada toward Capelas.  It features a par 72 course with a driving range, two putting greens, a chipping green, a pro shop, restaurant and bar. The course was engineered by Cameron & Powell in 1996.  Course record set on 2001 on the yellow tees is 66 and a 67 in 2002 on the white tees.  Several hotels such as Hotel Talisma offer golf packages.

FURNAS Golf Course, or the Furnas course, also on the island of São Miguel, was originally designed by Mackenzie Ross, famous Scottish architect, as a 9-hole course in 1939 and skillfully extended to 18 holes in 1986 by Cameron Powell so that it appears to be one unified course.  It's located in the Furnas valley about 40 miles from Ponta Delgada with its famous mineral hot springs and lush tropical vegetation. Lake Furnas is nearby. The views from the Japanese Cedar tree-lined course are awesome.  Most of the greens are slightly elevated which makes this course a bit more challenging than some.  The course record stands from a 1997 round played with a score of 66.  It's a par 72 course with a restaurant and bar, pro shop, chipping green and 2 putting greens in addition to the driving range. Golf packages are available at the Caloura Hotel and Terra Nostra Hotel

Terceira Golf

The eighteen-hole par 72 course north of Angra do Heroísmo is considered the easiest to play of the three courses in the Azores.  It has wide fairways and uncomplicated bunkers.  The pro shop is well stocked with reasonably priced golf accouterments. The course has a putting green, driving range, pro shop, restaurant and bar.  Two nearby tennis courts make the facility extra attractive. The Hotel Terceira Mar offers discount golf accommodations. This four-star resort hotel is worth the trip to the Azores just to enjoy the beautiful rooms, excellent service and fine dining.  The hotel is located only 15 kilometers away from the Terceira Golf Course.

The nice thing about choosing one of the golf vacation packages is the variety of courses which you can access.  Usually the discount programs offer special rates and incentive programs, and you’ll feel like a club member when you receive your “Member for the Day Program” membership.  Combine your golf game with some of the many other interesting things to discover in the Azores for a well-rounded vacation in a beautiful setting.
