Located one hour south of Lisbon, The Dunas Course at Terras da Comporta is David McLay-Kidd’s first golf course in mainland Europe and has made headlines around the world since opening in June 2023 — including being named as the ‘World’s Best New Golf Course’ and ‘Europe’s Best New Golf Course’.
Situated on the coast in a secluded setting on the edge of the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, The Dunas Course — which measures 6,646 metres off the back tees — has been created over 84 hectares of natural, sandy terrain and has been built using the highest sustainable practices.
Owned by Vanguard Properties, Portugal’s largest real estate developer who took ownership of the development in 2019, Terras da Comporta features two large developments: Torre, comprising 365 hectares of land and where a second course designed by Sergio Garcia is being built (set to open in 2025), and Dunas, which occupies around 1,011 hectares.
Complementing The Dunas Course will be a new clubhouse and golf academy. Away from the fairways, an array of lifestyle activities will be available including horse-riding, wellness, tennis, padel, pickleball and many other sports, with a wide range of plots for hotels, tourist and residential condominiums also on offer.
A portfolio of the world’s premier golf courses, destinations & resorts, worldclass.golf validates the visitor experience, from bag-drop to après golf.
