CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club

Overview: CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, located along the pristine Alentejo coastline in Melides, is one of the most exclusive private golf communities in the world. Designed by legendary architect Tom Fazio—his first project in Continental Europe—the championship course winds through thousands of years of natural sand dunes, cork oak forests, and coastal heathland. Every hole was meticulously crafted to harmonize with the wild Atlantic shoreline, offering a world-class links-style experience characterized by expansive waste bunkers and lightning-fast greens.

Did You Know? Developed by the Discovery Land Company, CostaTerra is designed as a "low-impact" luxury retreat where the golf course acts as a centerpiece for ecological preservation. The layout features Fazio's signature dramatic flair, including a espectacular par-3 16th hole with an island-like green set amidst the dunes, providing a high-stakes finish with the roaring Atlantic Ocean providing a constant, visceral soundtrack.
