The Dunes Course at Hotel Terraverda at Empordà Golf is one of the most scenic and strategically designed golf courses on the Costa Brava. Created by renowned architect Robert von Hagge, the layout combines the feel of traditional links golf with the natural beauty of the Mediterranean landscape, delivering a memorable challenge for golfers of all abilities.

Set amongst rolling dunes, lakes, and extensive bunkering, the course offers a distinctive inland links-style experience rarely found in Spain. Wide fairways tempt aggressive play from the tee, while cleverly positioned hazards and undulating greens demand precision on approach shots.
