Golfing in Lisbon - Head South!
Comporta is going to become one of Portugal if not Europe’s sought after golf holiday destinations.
Located on the Troia peninsula to the south of Lisbon, it is a truly special place. It has a “Boho” vibe throughout. A real fusion of tastes and styles that come together to create a golf holiday destination that must be top of any golfers list in the years to come.
Comporta has unspoiled beaches with atmospheric beach bars, the village of Comporta itself is as relaxed and cool as they come. From chilled café’s to gastronomic experiences, all using and re-purposing buildings used during its rich agricultural past, blink and you could miss them as you drive past! Along the way you will see some of the region’s wineries and rice fields which all contribute to the rich tapestry of the peninsula.
Staying in Comporta comes with big benefits. Our top choice is the 4* AlmaLusa Comporta Hotel which is a luxurious service-led property right in the centre of town. With a swimming pool and a very popular rooftop bar overlooking the countryside out towards the coast, it is the perfect base to explore the golf and culture of Comporta itself.
Take a stroll around the town and you will encounter many striking feature buildings and, in the evenings, Comporta comes to life with some memorable dining options right on your doorstep. The region is dotted with restaurants out-with Comporta too – these are all destination restaurants that showcase the very best in the local cuisine and culture.
Fancy a day at the beach? Within 5 minutes from the town, you are on golden sandy beaches which is perfect for spending a day or half a day in between your golf rounds. A little further along and you have a couple of excellent beach clubs to enjoy lunch or dinner too!
Golf wise, Comporta comes into a league of its own and it is only going to get better in the coming years. Aside from Comporta Dunas…we will come back to that. You have the new Sergio Garcia designed Torre coming online June 2025 which will be the perfect complement to Dunas and only 5 minutes from the village of Comporta.
Then there is Troia…a long renowned must play of the Portugal golf scene. A great test of golf with a linksy traditional feel in many places.

Now onto the main event, Comporta Dunas. This golfing masterpiece is highly regarded as one of the best in Europe already since its 2023 opening. This reputation is going to skyrocket as the course matures and the infrastructure is completed. Designed by David McLay Kidd , the world renowned golf architect of big names including Bandon Dunes, Fancourt Montagu and Machrihanish Dunes amongst many others. He has done a supreme job with Comporta Dunas. Each hole has the wow factor and magnificently framed. The course is perfect for golfers of all abilities with a tee to suit everyone. Playing off the backs really shows its teeth, particularly on the par 3 third hole. The design is sympathetic to all golfers meaning an unforgettable golf experience is almost guaranteed to all who play it. Even the practice areas leave you mouthing “WOW” with a spectacular driving range and huge practice putting green just by the first tee to allow you to adjust your game for the large sloping greens to follow!
Our advice? Play it NOW before everyone else does….and before the pricing reflects the demand and quality of this amazing golf environment.
