Where the green of the land meets the blue of the ocean, a historic landscape in the largest island of Azores. Batalha course was designed by Cameron Powell in 1986, offers 27 holes laid out over 120 hectares, with its magnificent setting, nestling on the skirts of the surrounding hills and with sweeping views to the ocean, with large flowing greens, wide and generous fairways and sinuously contoured bunkers. It is difficult to select a best hole ? they are all in some ways exceptional ? but there is a very special sensation to be felt when standing on the soaring tee 15. The facility opened to the public in 1993 and its sumptuous clubhouse offers a unique setting for events. Batalha is situated on the north coast of Sao Miguel island, just 10 minutes from the centre of the capital Ponta Delgada.
