Portugal Golf Courses in Azores

Ilha Terceira Golf Club is located 13 kilometres away from Angra do Heroísmo, and just 10 kilometres from the airport.|Its most difficult hole is the 370-yard par-4 5th. The fairways are mostly separated by cryptomerias and the scenery is fascinating. Ilha Terceira Golf Club is one of the most popular clubs in Portugal and its pro-shop is very much in demand since it has abundant golf equipment at excellent prices. Terceira, which has about 1,000 members and over 500 players, is one of the most important Portuguese golf clubs.

Batalha Golf Course set on a historic site (the name Batalha derives from the battle waged here between liberal and absolutist troops in the 19th century fighting for political control of the island of São Miguel), the most recent golf course in the Azores stands on a plain close to Ponta Delgada,.|To the North, the course faces seawards, whilst in the East it looks towards the hills, with higher mountains to the South.

Achada das Furnas golf course is situated on São Miguel Island, «the green island», near the grottoes or furnas, and the lake with that name, places which show the volcanic origin of these islands.|A new nine-hole course designed by Cameron Powell has been added to the previous one. It maintains the character given by Mackenzie Ross, so much so that it is impossible to say nowadays which two nines was designed first. The separation of the fairways is almost always made by cryptomerias, large trees that, in our opinion, are the most suitable for the purpose.
