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.

Practically every fairway is undulated, requiring all types of shots, and the greens are excellent and full of borrows.(...)
