Terras da Comporta (Dunas course): this long-awaited celebutante of Portuguese golf eventually came to fruition after some stops and starts along the way; it opened for play in the spring of 2023. The wonderfully expansive Dunas (Dunes) course is set to become one of the highest ranked layouts in continental Europe. Based on an ethos of quality, sustainability and eco-friendliness, this top-end golf layout represents the starting piece of what will become a substantial resort development.
Located a kilometre from the Atlantic Ocean, and laid out in two nine-hole loops, David McLay-Kidd's sand-based "Dunas" design is spread over an undulating 250-acre parcel of coastal duneland. Kidd apparently approached the design of this 7,600-yard course as if it were a potential Ryder Cup venue, while bearing in mind that the vast majority of players here will be amateur club golfers.
Forgiving from the tee, and more demanding as the green approaches are key features to the wonderfully natural layout. There's a distinct absence of water hazards, but that's more than compensated for by the grandeur of the bunkering and sandy waste areas. You frequently look out onto excellently crafted holes from elevated tees.
The fairways pitch and roll more extravagantly than the opulently-sized greens. At the par-3 3rd, once you've cleared a large waste area, you'll find a 60-yard green awaits. A linksy flow is maintained throughout, not least with the teeing grounds blending into the tart of the fairways.
Pick of the holes: amongst a wealth of riches, the standout holes include the par-3 3rd, downhill par-4 4th, dramatic straightaway par-4 11th and 13th, drivable par-4 16th, and handsomely framed par-3 17th.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
