Founded in 1939 and directed by Carlos Martins, the Furnas Cedars Golf Course, is set amid stands of majestic Japanese cedars and with fiendishly contoured greens, is quite gentle in nature but is, without doubt, a genuine test of skill and finesse. Practically every fairway is undulating, requiring all types of shots, and the smallish plateaux greens are excellent, wickedly contoured and full of borrows. Most of the greens are slightly elevated from the fairway and the bunkers do not have sand traps as European and American golfers might know them, but instead a very rough kind of gravel with many pebbles. This golf course has a minimum handicap required, for the ladies is 36 and for gentleman’s is 28.  The Furnas Cedars Golf Course is located on the island of São Miguel, at 5km from Villa Franca do Campo and 40km from Ponta Delgada.
Designs by the MacKenzie Ross and Cameron Powell Associates, the Furnas Cedars Golf Course, begun as a 9 hole golf course was extended in 1990 for 18 holes (Par of 72) with a length of 6.815 meter.
