Dunas Terras da Comporta Golf Course
Dunas Terras da Comporta was designed by Scottish architect David McLay Kidd, the man behind Bandon Dunes, and marks his first course in mainland Europe. It opened in 2023 within the Terras da Comporta estate on the edge of the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, an hour south of Lisbon, laid across 84 hectares of natural sandy dune land.
The par-71 links routes fescue fairways through the dune contours rather than over them, with wasteland-style bunkering and native vegetation standing in for trees. Greens run large, fast and genuinely undulating, and six sets of tees on every hole mean the course flexes from a relaxed round to a serious test. Since opening, it has been named World's Best Golf Course at the 2024 World Golf Awards and Europe's Best Golf Course in 2025, and currently ranks inside Continental Europe's Top 10 and number one in Portugal.
Facilities include a driving range, golf academy, clubhouse restaurant and pro shop, with a buggy included in every green fee. Pair it with sister course Torre Terras da Comporta for arguably the strongest two-round stop in the country, and book both through Tee Times.

Hi, service was again excellent. In comparison with November 2025 the course was well but not as well maintained. Especially bunkers not raked and teeboxes with a midday teetime worn out. practice area show the intense usage. But - all in all a great experience

Simply stunning golf course. Imagine inserting 18 of the best looking golf holes you can picture in a natural landscape of pine trees and hills and edge those holes with a sandy waste land ready to challenge (but not destroy) your round in an environment where the only sounds are of golf being played or people announcing their amazement as each hole is presented from the next tee box. No road noise, no cars, no major building noises (well just about none). The practice areas…..fantastic. The customer service….spot on.
The fairways aren’t quite perfect as they have a battle with bacteria blown in on the breeze from the nearby Atlantic, but I’ve no doubt they’ll solve this quickly. The greens cannot be faulted and even the most wayward golfer has a chance of finding them in regulation as they are generally all enormous……but don’t expect any easy two putts. The subtle slopes and size of the greens makes 3 putting a distinct possibility…..4 putts are not unknown.
This place will get busier, this place will get even better and (unfortunately) this place will become even more exclusive (£££). If you love your golf…..this is “bucket list”. Play it. You won’t regret it.

A wonderful golfing experience. The course design at Dunas is fantastic and well worth its ranking. The customer service is excellent and very much added to the enjoyment of our round. The only slight disappointment was the conditioning. We recognise that the summer months of 2026 presented some challenges for course maintenance, but the turf quality on the greens and fairways does need to be brought up to the standard of the design and the facilities.

Dunas was a joy to play, grass was fescue more in keeping with the UK. A few areas looked a bit tired with some scruffy lies but green staff appear to be dealing with.
Again greens were true and a good pace. Lots of sand waste lands slightly prettier than Torre but both worth playing plenty of tees to choose from. Clubhouse and practice facilities were excellent and staff helpful and attentive.

We thought Dunas was the more interesting curse but it is currently in reltively poor conditions, in particular the fairways but also some tee boxes

Incredible experience in a breathtaking location. Some parts of the fairways were a bit below the standard expected for such a premium course but all in all, for the experience and beauty, this is still an incredible experience and I plan to come back.

A fantastic course, first time I have played it and had great reports on it, certainly lived up to positive reports I had read, no idea on the signature hole could have been any of 6 holes, service and facilities were excellent.

Beautiful layout. Greens had just been “punched” and were absolutely terrible!

Fantastic golf course, excellent but unfortunately they had just been hollow spiked which spoiled it a bit.
