Comments for Dunas Terras Da Comporta:
- Do you need a lift?

A fabulous course setting and layout! Every hole has wonderful definition with lush green fairways meandering through the dunes and lined by mature pine trees. The trees are not really in play as they are far enough back from the fairways and greens so the main challenge is from the desert wasteland and numerous bunkers strategically located on every hole so accuracy and knowing the distances of your tee shots are key to avoid the penalty areas. The greens are very large so hitting them from the fairway wasn't too difficult - getting close to the pins and avoiding 3 putts was the tricky part. Dunas da Comporta did not play like a links course but this may be because the turf is still very new and not fully bedded in. Sadly, we didn't have time to enjoy the clubhouse facilities or driving range but, from the little we saw, they looked first class and the (young) staff were very welcoming, polite and friendly. While the green fees at Dunas da Comporta are not cheap - in fact the most we have ever paid to play anywhere in Portugal, Spain, the US or the UK - this is a special golf course and worth playing once if you're in the Lisbon area or even driving up from the Algarve. Enjoy!
