Porto Santo Golfe的点评
点评：We visited Porto Santo and played golf as a couple on the 18th of March 2025. This was part of a golf holiday to Madeira. We had originally planned to play on the 17th of March but the ferry trip was cancelled because of wind and “high seas“ so what we ended up doing was bringing Palheiro golf course forward from the Tuesday to the Monday and planning Porto Santo on the Tuesday. (18h).
Palheiro were very accommodating and it was extremely easy to swap the teetime from Tuesday to Monday. And I have to say it was very easy dealing with Porto Santo line. We did it all through WhatsApp, and they were able to cancel the tickets for the Monday and reassign them to the Tuesday. I think if we had been unable to go at all we could’ve obtained a refund via email. The pick up from outside our hotel to the ferry terminal in Funchal was absolutely fine. We got picked up at 07:21 hours for an 8 o’clock ferry time. The bus arrived exactly at that time. The ferry trip over was very straightforward and we were met at Porto Santo and taken to the golf course. So far so good. We were the only people on the ferry going to the golf course. I had rather naïvely expected that it would’ve been quite an empty golf course and it would’ve been millionaires Golf. Unfortunately not. We arrived and discovered that there are direct flights to Porto Santo from Denmark and possibly other Nordic countries. We were told at arrival that we could tee off more or less straight away. (Because I suppose we had to get the ferry back.) We probably arrived on the first tee at about 1110. Unfortunately, there was a group of 80 Danish golfers. They must’ve been in a group with a handicap limit of 36.(And by this I mean that the minimum handicap was 36, anything lower wouldn’t have been allowed on the holiday.) They were quite insistent that we had to wait until they had all teed off and bullied the starterl as well as their holiday rep and we were told to come back at 11:50. I suppose it gave me the opportunity to hone my game on the driving range. anyway, we went back to the first tee at 11:50 and probably got to tee off at about 1205. as a two ball amongst four balls. (It reminded me of turning up at Lykia links in Turkey where they had about eight people for each teetime.)
The course is a Severiano Ballesteros design. I have to say it’s a very good golf course but not at all easy. You have to be extremely straight, there’s quite a lot of run on the ball so if you’re a bit left or a bit right, it will certainly run off. The front nine goes down from the clubhouse and works its way back. The fifth hole is classic Ballesteros. We were playing off the front tees so it’s only about 120 yards but it’s into at least a three club wind with water in front of the green, a bunker behind the green and basically nowhere to miss it. What it must be like off the white tee which is about 175 yards! it would take a great shot not to lose your ball. Anyway, after two and three-quarter hours we arrived on the 10th tee. The 10th is a hell of a golf hole You drive over water to effectively an island fairway. The fairway narrows the further you go. You then have to hit across more water to the continuation of the fairway which is on the right hand side. a bit left you’re in the water, a bit right there’s a hazard area and then some bunkers. If you’ve managed all of this, you’ll have a short iron into the green guarded on the left by more water.
11 again is a drive guarded by water on the left and you have to hit over water to the Green although this is only a short par four and probably just requires a hybrid and a short iron. 12 is a uphill par five and then it gets even more spectacular. 13 is a par three which looks a bit like the seventh at Rye but unfortunately has the ocean on the right and beyond. 14 is a dog leg to a green perched up high with death to anything right We didn’t get to play 15 which look like another extremely challenging par three because by now we were seriously running out of time, having to get the taxi back to the ferry and actually managed to play through four groups in the last five holes. And, to be fair, the Danish group were quite accommodating in allowing us to do that. The 18th is a par five with a quite big pond in front of the green.
we were then picked up at 5 o’clock, taken back to the ferry and returned back to Funchal. It’s a long day out. It’s quite good fun because you feel like you’re going somewhere even more remote to play golf. The course is a tremendous challenge. It’s got a very linksy feel about it but the greens were in excellent condition and you couldn’t really fault the condition of the course. It may well be that they’re putting too many people out on the golf course and thus you end up with five or six hour rounds. That is what would stop me from coming back.
I know this reads better than a three star review. It’s probably five star for the potential of the golf course and the feeling of playing golf at the edge of the world but only one and a half star for the amount of annoyance I felt at spending so long on a golf course. If you were a four? Maybe that would be better, but it’s so popular with direct flights from northern Europe that I don’t think you’re ever going to get a quick round. Compare that with Palheiro golf course that we played yesterday, we were in a buggy playing a two ball. We teed off at 9:30 and were finished by 1230.

翻译：2025 年 3 月 18 日，我们夫妻俩参观了波尔图桑托 (Porto Santo) 并打高尔夫球。这是马德拉 (Madeira) 高尔夫假期的一部分。我们原本计划在 3 月 17 日打球，但由于风和“海浪”的原因，渡轮行程被取消，所以我们最终将 Palheiro 高尔夫球场从周二提前到周一，并计划在周二 (18 点) 打波尔图桑托 (Porto Santo)。
Palheiro 非常乐于助人，将开球时间从周二改到周一非常容易。我不得不说，与波尔图桑托线打交道非常容易。我们通过 WhatsApp 完成了所有操作，他们能够取消周一的门票并将其重新安排到周二。我想如果我们根本无法去，我们可以通过电子邮件获得退款。从我们酒店外面到丰沙尔渡轮码头的接送服务非常好。我们在 07:21 被接走，赶上 8 点的渡轮时间。大巴正好在那个时间到达。渡轮之旅非常顺利，我们在波尔图桑托 (Porto Santo) 接机，然后被带到高尔夫球场。到目前为止一切顺利。我们是渡轮上唯一去高尔夫球场的人。我天真地以为那会是一个相当空旷的高尔夫球场，会是百万富翁高尔夫球场。不幸的是，事实并非如此。我们到达后发现，从丹麦和其他北欧国家都有直飞波尔图桑托的航班。我们到达时被告知，我们可以立即开球。（因为我想我们必须乘渡轮回去。）我们大概在 11:10 左右到达第一个发球台。不幸的是，那里有一群 80 名丹麦高尔夫球手。他们肯定是在一个差点限制为 36 的组中。（我的意思是最低差点是 36，假期期间不允许任何更低的差点。）他们坚持要我们等到他们都开球后再打，还欺负了首发球员和他们的假期代表，并告诉我们 11:50 回来。我想这给了我机会在练习场上磨练我的球技。无论如何，我们在 11:50 回到第一个发球台，大概在 12:05 开球。在四个球中打两个球。（这让我想起了在土耳其的 Lykia 球场，每次开球时大约有八个人。）
球场是 Severiano Ballesteros 设计的。我不得不说这是一个非常好的高尔夫球场，但一点也不容易。你必须打得非常直，球的滚动距离相当长，所以如果你稍微左一点或稍微右一点，球肯定会跑偏。前九洞从俱乐部会所出发，然后一路返回。第五洞是典型的巴列斯特罗斯洞。我们从前发球台打球，所以只有大约 120 码，但风力至少有三杆，果岭前有水，果岭后面有一个沙坑，基本上没有地方可以错过球。从大约 175 码的白色发球台开球会是什么样的感觉！要想不丢球，得打出很棒的一杆。不管怎样，经过两个半小时，我们到达了第十洞发球台。第 10 洞是一个地狱般的高尔夫球洞，你要把球开过水面，到达实际上是一个岛屿球道。你越过水面，球道就越窄。然后你必须越过更多的水面才能到达右手边的球道延伸部分。稍往左一点就是水，稍往右一点就是障碍区和沙坑。如果你能做到这一切，你就可以用短铁杆打到果岭，果岭左边有更多水。
11 号洞也是一条左侧有水的开球道，你必须越过水才能上果岭，尽管这只是一条短四杆洞，可能只需要一根混合杆和一根短铁杆。 12 号洞是一条上坡五杆洞，然后会变得更加壮观。 13 号洞是三杆洞，看起来有点像 Rye 的第七洞，但不幸的是，右边和后面就是大海。 14 号洞是一条狗腿洞，通往高高的果岭，右边是死亡之门 我们没有打到 15 号洞，这看起来也是另一个极具挑战性的三杆洞，因为现在我们的时间真的不多了，不得不打车回到渡口，实际上在最后五个洞中我们打完了四组。公平地说，丹麦队很通融，允许我们这么做。第 18 洞是五杆洞，果岭前有一个相当大的池塘。
然后我们在 5 点被接回渡口，然后返回丰沙尔。这是漫长的一天。这很有趣，因为你感觉自己要去一个更偏远的地方打高尔夫球。这个球场是一个极大的挑战。它给人一种非常有链接的感觉，但果岭状况极佳，你真的挑不出球场的状况。很可能是他们安排了太多人去高尔夫球场，所以你最终要打五六个小时。这就是阻止我回来的原因。
我知道这比三星级评论读起来更好。考虑到高尔夫球场的潜力和在世界边缘打高尔夫球的感觉，它可能应该打五颗星，但考虑到我花这么长时间在高尔夫球场上感到的烦恼，我只给一颗半星。如果你是四星？也许会更好，但从北欧直飞的航班到这里很受欢迎，所以我认为你永远都不可能快速打完一轮。相比于我们昨天打过的 Palheiro 高尔夫球场，我们坐在球车里打了两球。我们 9:30 开球，12:30 结束。
