São Miguel Signature Golf is designed for a comfortable rhythm, combining variety on the course with space to slow down. The experience includes three rounds of golf shared between Batalha and Furnas — two courses with very different personalities. Batalha plays open to the Atlantic, shaped by wind and light. Furnas sits quietly in a volcanic valley, where accuracy and pace take centre stage.
With a 3-Round Golf Pass and a rental car included, rounds can be spaced naturally, leaving room for rest days and scenic drives. The stay also features an Azorean Gin Masterclass at Solar do Branco, a relaxed and memorable experience that adds a local touch beyond the fairways.

Some golf trips are about ticking off rounds. This one is about having the time to enjoy them.
São Miguel Signature Golf is designed for golfers who like to play at a comfortable rhythm, appreciate variety, and enjoy returning from the course to genuine comfort rather than rushing on to the next tee.
The experience includes three rounds of golf shared between Batalha Golf Course and Furnas Golf Course, two courses that could not feel more different. Batalha plays open to the Atlantic, where wind and light shape every round and good decisions matter. Furnas, set in a volcanic valley, is quieter and more contained, a course where time and accuracy take over. With a 3-Round Golf Pass and a rental car included, rounds can be spaced out naturally, leaving room for rest days, short drives, and unplanned stops along the way.
And because a memorable golf trip is never only about golf, the stay also includes an Azorean Gin Masterclass at Solar do Branco, home to one of the world’s largest private gin collections. It’s relaxed, personal, and unpretentious — the kind of experience that gives the trip a story of its own, long after the clubs are back in the bag.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the golf experience include?
The package includes a 3-Round Golf Pass, allowing flexible play between Batalha Golf Course and Furnas Golf Course. Tee times are pre-booked and confirmed in advance, with rounds scheduled on non-consecutive days whenever possible.
- What kind of golf can I expect at Batalha Golf Course?
Batalha Golf Course is a coastal layout set along São Miguel’s north shore, where Atlantic winds and changing light are part of the game. The course rewards thoughtful club selection and course management, with several holes offering wide views of the ocean. It tends to play a little longer and more exposed, making it a favorite for golfers who enjoy variety and strategy rather than pure length.
- What kind of golf can I expect at Furnas Golf Course?
Furnas Golf Course is situated in a sheltered volcanic valley, offering a quieter, more traditional parkland experience. Tree-lined fairways, gentle elevation changes, and smaller greens emphasize accuracy, rhythm, and short-game control. It’s a more contained round, often described as relaxing but quietly demanding.
- Why are both courses included in this package?
Batalha and Furnas offer two very different ways to experience golf in São Miguel. Playing both provides contrast in scenery, pace, and playing style, making the three-round experience feel varied and well-balanced rather than repetitive.
