Madeira provides an autumn golf break with three established courses: Palheiro Golf, Clube de Golf Santo da Serra, and Porto Santo Golfe. The Madeira Golf Passport starts at €310 per person for three rounds at Palheiro or Santo da Serra, with hotel-to-course transport included. Visitors can also explore levada walks and the UNESCO-listed Laurissilva Forest, while a new Nick Faldo-designed course is scheduled to open in 2027.

Expanded Detail

Madeira’s autumn offer centres on three existing layouts. Palheiro is an 18-hole par-72 course set high on a botanical estate, looking toward Funchal and the ocean. Santo da Serra, on the island’s eastern side, has 27 holes by Robert Trent Jones Sr. Porto Santo Golfe, on a neighbouring island, is an 18-hole Seve Ballesteros design.

The passport costs from €310 per person for three rounds at Palheiro or Santo da Serra, with hotel transfers included. Extra rounds and a Porto Santo day cost more.

Context

... Need plain text. No markdown? Fine. Need maybe "under 120 words total" for expanded. We have 104. Context under 90. Good. Need ensure no copying source phrasing. Let's check expanded against source. Source: "Madeira has three established golf venues: Palheiro Golf, Clube de Golf Santo da Serra and Porto Santo Golfe." We wrote "Madeira’s autumn offer centres on three existing layouts." Not copy. "Palheiro Golf brings the island’s botanical landscape..." We wrote "Palheiro is an 18-hole par-72 course set high on a botanical estate, looking toward Funchal and the ocean." Source: "Its 18-hole, par-72 course sits on a botanical estate nearly 500 metres above sea level, with views of Funchal and the Atlantic." We omitted 500m. "looking toward Funchal and the ocean" okay. "Santo da Serra, on the island’s eastern side, has 27 holes by Robert Trent Jones Sr." Source: "Clube de Golf Santo da Serra offers 27 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. on Madeira’s eastern side." We rephrased.
