“Fabulous trip, impressive golf course, and it was great seeing old friends and making new ones. Lots and lots of laughs !!! Well done Stuart.”
“Great golfing holiday! First timers on one of Stuart’s “short game” improvement holidays and came away with so much more understanding of all aspects of chipping, pitching and putting! Couldn’t wait to get out and put into practice what we had worked on.”

Stuart says “After ending up in Madeira in 2020 due to COVID travel restrictions, we fell in love with this beautiful island and have decided to run a special GTH in October 2023.

Hotel Porto Santa Maria is a four star hotel with five star qualities throughout, you certainly won’t be disappointed. It’s location right in the heart of Funchal, making this the perfect venue for golfers and non golfers, as access to local shops, restaurants and attractions are all within a couple of minutes walk.

GOLFERS – We have organised a coach to take us to both courses and this will leave at 9:00am each day. Both courses are up in the mountain which offer amazing views throughout and for the hardy, you can walk both courses but buggies are advisable. There will be a choice of tuition before each game so make sure you pick the area each day that is letting you down the most.

• Palheiro GC
• Santo da Serra GC

NON GOLFERS – There is so much to see and do in Madeira that you certainly won’t be bored whilst the rest of us are playing golf. I’m happy to organise some trips on certain days or you can organise something yourselves, either way just let me know.

• Botanical Gardens – https://ifcn.madeira.gov.pt/quintas-e-jardins/jardin-botanico-da-madeira-eng-rui-vieira
• Monte Palace Madeira – https://montepalacemadeira.com/desktop/
• Cable Car – https://madeiracablecar.com/en/
• Toboggan ride – https://madeira.best/product/madeira-toboggan-ride-on-traditional-wicker-basket-sledges

On the third day of the trip we would love you to join us at our wedding where you will be our guests. We will taxi everyone to the wedding venue where everything from the ceremony, to the meal, to the evening party will take place, and this day is on us. Once finished we will taxi everyone back to the hotel.”

Gran Canaria Charity Golf Tournament & Tuition Holiday

Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity 5*
Charity Golf Competition in aid of Cancer Research U.K.

14th – 21st January 2024

• Twin golfer £1595 pp (ex flights)
• Twin non golfer £1100 pp (ex flights)
• Single golfer £1845 pp (ex flights)

• • 6 rounds of golf on the Old Course and the option of another 9 holes on New course in the afternoons. (Buggy must be used)
  • One competition for golfers who meet the handicap criteria and another competition for those who don’t
  • One lunch a la carte (set menu) at The S Club
  • All tuition
  • Range balls
  • Fantastic prizes
  • Raise money for Cancer Research U.K.

Stuart says “This is going to be a trip to remember for a few reasons. The Salobre Resort is one of the finest in the Canaries and have not only allowed us to run this event here in peak season, but have given us an excellent package for a fantastic price. We have managed to get hold of around £10,000 in competition/raffle prizes for this special trip.

Breakfast will be at your own leisure with seating in the main dining areas, where as the evening meal we have been allocated our own private dining room, where we will look to sit down around 19:45 every evening. After the meal we will run through the the daily prize winners and for those who are interested, there will be evening entertainment in the S bar most nights.

Some of the fantastic prizes we have so far –

• • A set of Mizuno irons to be custom fit on the Tour Wagon and then 18 holes at Bearwood Lakes with a Mizuno Staff player (money can’t buy this wonderful prize)
  • A five night break for 2 people HB with 2 rounds of golf at Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity
  • £500 off a Golf Tuition Holiday in 2024
  • A two night break for 2 people HB with 2 rounds of golf at Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity
  • Motocaddy S1 trolleys
  • Ping Putters
  • Sunderland and Glenmuir vouchers
  • And many more fantastic prizes

The reason we are able to offer such amazing competition/raffle prizes, is because the golf competition element of this trip is 100% in aid of Cancer Research U.K. and our target is to raise £10,000 from the week. Both competitions (depending on hcp criteria being met) will be over four rounds on Stableford scoring and with 85% of your course handicap, and the scoring system will make handicap adjustments where necessary after each round. To allow us to hopefully reach our £10,000 target we estimate the size of this group will be up to 112 golfers. There will be a two tee start from 10:00 until 11:57 and these will be in 9 minute slots which will be ample time to get everyone off.

With six rounds included in this trip the format will be as follows

• Monday – Practice round
• Tuesday – Round 1
• Wednesday – Round 2
• Thursday – Texas Scramble / Day Off
• Friday – Round 3
• Saturday – Final round & Evening Presentation

And on any day in the afternoon you are welcome to play a further 9 holes on the New Course. (Buggy is required @ €15pp).”
