World's Best Panoramic Clubhouse 2024: Palheiro Golf - Madeira Island

Palheiro golf in Madeira has won the prize of the ‘World’s Best Panoramic Clubhouse’ at the 11th annual World golf awards which took place in Madeira on the 21st and 22nd of November.

Jonathan Fletcher President of Palheiro Golf said:

‘We are thrilled to win this prestigious prize and to finally see our iconic clubhouse duly rewarded. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, who strive to provide our guests with the highest level of service and luxury. For many years the 180 degree vista which takes in the bay of Funchal as well as the Deserta Islands framed by Plane trees has been a ‘must’ for any visitor to the Island. Every day a steady stream of taxis and cars arrive with Instagramers for what has now become an obligatory stop on the Madeira Island photo tour.

The Clubhouse was fully renovated in 2022 when we launched our new restaurant ‘Vista Balancal’ under the guidance of Chef Duarte Oliveira.  His deceptively simple style of Portuguese Cuisine mixed with timeless classics has rapidly gained a loyal following for visitors and golf players alike.  Post Covid has also seen a big increase in the hosting of exclusive events and weddings benefiting from our unlimited parking, isolation and tremendous vistas.

Palheiro Golf is committed to providing a world-class golfing experience, and this award further solidifies its position as one of Europe’s premier golf destinations.’
