Torre Golf Course at Terras da Comporta is one of the most eagerly awaited new openings in Europe — a course shaped by a Major winner, designed to challenge the thinking golfer, and set in one of Portugal’s most naturally rich and unspoilt coastal regions. While the neighbouring Dunas Course, designed by David McLay-Kidd, brought acclaim with its expansive, links-style routing, Torre is Sergio Garcia’s vision realised: intimate, exacting and undeniably memorable.
Torre makes exceptional use of the region’s free-draining soil and native landscape. The routing guides players through a tapestry of pine forest, sand-scrub clearings and low-lying valleys that have been carefully preserved to avoid unnecessary earthworks. Garcia’s philosophy was clear: let the land lead the design. As such, Torre feels natural, authentic and perfectly balanced.
The course plays to nearly 7,200 yards from the back tees but offers multiple teeing options to suit all levels. Its standout characteristic is the way it demands strategic thought rather than raw distance. Fairways are generous but rarely forgiving — a misplaced drive can leave a poor angle into the cleverly contoured greens, which are compact, often raised and well-defended by deep bunkering or sandy waste areas. It's a style of golf that rewards the cerebral and punishes the careless — exactly the kind of test Garcia relished as a player.
The Valderrama influence is clear throughout. Holes like the par-4 4th and the par-3 15th pay homage to Spanish course architecture, requiring precise distance control and creative short-game flair. The par-5 9th is a true standout — a sweeping dogleg framed by umbrella pines with a green complex that tempts the bold. Meanwhile, the closing stretch from 16 through 18 is both dramatic and photogenic, providing the perfect crescendo to the round.

While the dedicated Torre Clubhouse is currently under development, envisioned as a central social hub with a private room for events , the resort's commitment to excellence is evident. Expect world-class practice facilities, mirroring the Dunas Course's extensive 300+ meter driving range with 50 bays and dedicated short-game areas including putting and chipping greens.
High-quality dining options will also be an integral part of the Torre experience, whether integrated directly into its clubhouse or easily accessible within the broader resort complex, building on the success of the Dunas Course's Salicórnia restaurant. A well-stocked Pro Shop is also anticipated, offering golf apparel, equipment, and souvenirs.
The Wider Comporta Experience
The wider Comporta region enhances the appeal. Nestled on the pristine Alentejo coast of Portugal, just an hour south of Lisbon, the Torre Golf Course is ideally situated on the edge of the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve. The most convenient international gateway is Lisbon Airport, approximately 1.5 hours away by private transfer. While car hire is highly recommended for exploring the charming local villages and stunning beaches, transfers can be arranged.
Known for its laid-back charm, unspoilt white sandy beaches (such as Praia da Comporta and Carvalhal Beach), and local seafood, Comporta offers golfers the chance to unwind off-course with the same ease they enjoy on it. Explore iconic sites like the Cais Palafítico da Carrasqueira (stilt pier), embark on dolphin watching trips in the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, or enjoy activities like horseback riding through rice fields and pine forests.
Accommodation options, including upcoming resort hotels and local boutique stays like The Editory By The Sea Troia, Quinta Da Comporta - Wellness Boutique Resort, and Sublime Comporta, make this an ideal choice for both group getaways and couples’ escapes.
Commitment to Sustainability
From an environmental perspective, Torre has been built with long-term sustainability at its core. The use of treated wastewater for irrigation, minimal turfgrass footprint, and retention of native vegetation are part of a strategy to preserve the site's natural beauty. These efforts also ensure year-round playability, with sandy soils draining quickly after rain and fairways remaining firm and fast. The Dunas Course has already been recognized as "Europe's Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility", a testament to the resort's overarching commitment.
Complementing the acclaimed Dunas Course, Torre completes Terras da Comporta’s transformation into a bucket-list 36-hole destination. The two courses offer different philosophies: where Dunas embraces wild openness and width, Torre tightens the lens, demanding shaped shots and mental discipline. Together, they deliver a complete and contrasting golf experience in one of Europe’s rising golf hotspots.
Torre Golf Course is not just Sergio Garcia’s first design — it’s a course with Top 100 aspirations, rooted in elite architecture and surrounded by one of Portugal’s most desirable natural landscapes. Early visitors will be among the first to experience what’s already being hailed as one of Europe’s finest new layouts.
