Golf

Porto Santo Golfe. Designed by the late Spanish golfing legend Seve Ballesteros, this impressive course is considered one of the most challenging in the islands. The course bends around water features and is full of bends and slopes. Its lush fairways stand out in vivid contrast to the parched landscape around it, stretching across the island from the coast to the dramatic basalt cliffs. The plush clubhouse is a modern medley of stone, glass, and potted cacti. In addition to the 18-hole par 72 course, there's a 9-hole pitch-and-putt circuit and a driving range. Sítio da Lapeira, Sitio das Marinhas, Porto Santo, Madeira, 9400-162. 291 983 778; www.portosantogolfe.com. Reservations essential.
