“The golf in Madeira comes from the year 1937, when the British families Miles, Leacock and Blandy built the first 9-hole golf course.” (pg. 59)
“Madeira – Porto Santo Guide”, Funchal: DRAC

The older one is the 27-hole, 6.015 t, Santo da Serra course set high on a plateau to the east of the island, venue fo the Madeira Open tournament (held every year in Spring time) which attracts many top international players.
The newer course is the 18-hole, 6.015 m,
, situated high above Funchal and carved out of the 324-hectare Quinta do Palheiro estate The views are enhanced by the surrounding woodland, much of it planted by the Blandy family since they acquired the estate in 1885.” (pg. 159)
