The much-anticipated golf course in Ponta do Pargo is expected to be completed by the end of this year, marking a significant boost to the local economy and tourism sector.

The Secretary of Agriculture and Fisheries, Nuno Maciel, has announced that the golf course in Ponta do Pargo is on track to be completed by the end of the year. This announcement was made during the celebrations of the Ponta do Pargo Parish Day, which is part of the festivities honoring São Pedro.

The project is a significant public investment aimed at enhancing the infrastructure and tourism appeal of the Calheta municipality, where Ponta do Pargo is located. The completion of the golf course is expected to attract both local and international tourists, providing a new leisure option in Madeira.

During his speech, Maciel also expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan community, particularly the Madeiran expatriates affected by recent events in Venezuela. He acknowledged the challenges faced by these communities and reiterated the government's support.

Ponta do Pargo, known for its stunning landscapes and serene environment, is a small parish in the westernmost part of Madeira. The new golf course is anticipated to complement the natural beauty of the area, offering a unique golfing experience amidst scenic vistas.

This development is part of a broader strategy to diversify Madeira's tourist offerings beyond its traditional attractions. The golf course is expected to enhance the region's reputation as a prime destination for leisure and sport.
