BIKE & GOLF
Ride through diverse landscapes, exploring lush green valleys, volcanic craters, and coastal areas, and then unwind with a round of golf on the stunning Batalha Golf course with breathtaking ocean views amongst hills with 50 shades of green.
The Batalha Golf Course is a stunning 27-hole golf course located on the north coast of the island, just 10 minutes from Ponta Delgada. Designed by architect Cameron Powell in 1986, the course is set on a historic site where a 19th century battle took place between liberal and absolutist troops. The course features large flowing greens, wide fairways, and contoured bunkers, offering golfers a challenging yet beautiful experience. Nestled among green hills with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, the course provides the opportunity to get lost in the lush nature as well as spot whales and dolphins when lucky.
