The course is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of São Miguel, set above the Furnas Valley and close to the beautiful Furnas Lake with its famous Caldeiras.
The original 9 hole course was completed in 1939 to the design of MacKenzie Ross, who is probably best known for the Estoril Golf Course near Lisbon and for his work in restoring, from near ruin, the world famous Ailsa and Arran courses at Turnberry in Scotland.
Extended in 1990 under the supervision of the British golf course designers, Cameron Powell Associates, the full 18 hole course is now par 72 with a length of 6812 yards. We are sure that MacKenzie Ross would be delighted to see that the new 9 holes are so in harmony with the spirit and style of the original that it is becoming increasingly difficult to “spot the join.”
The course itself, set amid stands of majestic Japanese cedars and with fiendishly contoured greens, is quite gentle in nature but is, without doubt, a genuine test of skill and finesse.
