Batalha Golf Course, Golf course in Fenais da Luz, Portugal.
The course spreads across hilly island terrain with 18 holes and multiple tee options at each hole. The layout combines wooded sections with open ground and offers varied challenges for different playing levels.
The course opened in 1996 following designs by architect Cameron Powell, becoming the newest golf facility in the Azores at the time. Its creation marked an important expansion of golfing infrastructure in the region.
The course name references a 16th-century military confrontation between two armies fighting for control of São Miguel Island in the Azores. This historical connection shapes how locals and visitors understand the place.
Visitors will find well-equipped practice facilities including a large driving range, putting green, and practice bunker for warm-up before play. These areas are available during regular operating hours on most days.
The terrain blends woodland and links-style elements in unusual ways, giving the course a distinctive playing character. This mixture of different landscape types at one location is uncommon for golf courses of this size.
