The most impressive facts 

Highness: the Santo da Serra golf course descends 300 metres from top to bottom and allows amazing panoramic over Madeira Island. You will have the opportunity to play on the top of deep ravines. 
Misperceptions: Santo da Serra can be tricky judging the distance because of the altitude and variable wind. 
Undulating: Santo da Serra is a very hilly golf course and to balance the difficulty most of the trees are quite a long way from the fairways and the few water hazards are not too close to play.

The 2nd and 4th holes of Santo da Serra Course remain unforgettable.
