It was nothing less than a dream working together with world-class Architect David McLay-Kidd on our first 18-hole build from design to completion, the Dunas Course at Terras da Comporta.
This par-71 links-style layout, which is situated one hour south of Lisbon, is one of the most eagerly-anticipated golf course design projects that will be unveiled in 2023. Situated in a secluded coastal setting on the edge of the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, The Dunas Course is one of two 18-hole championship layouts that is planned at Terras da Comporta.
Created over 84 hectares of natural, sandy terrain, The Dunas Course – which will measure 6,555 metres from its back tees – has been built using the highest sustainable practices and is predicted to quickly become one of Europe’s must-play golfing venues when it opens.
“The Dunas course is an amusement arcade for golfers. Play it and walk off underwhelmed and unenthused and I’m not sure I will believe you. This is a course I believe will establish itself in the top tier of continental golf the moment it fully opens”
‘Visually stunning in every respect, from the huge practice area which mimics one of the holes, to the new clubhouse that overlooks the course, and to the vast array of sandy waste areas that pepper the land, it is a jaw-dropping masterpiece.’
