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. The exposed nature of the layout also means coastal breezes regularly influence club selection and course strategy.

Course Highlights

  • Links-inspired design – A unique inland layout featuring rolling dunes, strategically placed bunkers, and open fairways inspired by classic coastal golf courses.
  • Designed by Robert von Hagge – The acclaimed architect created a visually striking course that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape of the Costa Brava.
  • Water hazards throughout – Lakes and streams come into play on several holes, adding both beauty and challenge from tee to green.
  • Part of Empordà Golf Resort – Play alongside the renowned Forest Course for a complete 36-hole golf experience in one of Spain’s premier golf resorts.

Signature Holes

The standout hole on the Dunes Course is the spectacular par-3 11th hole. Surrounded by water and protected by deep bunkers, the hole demands an accurate tee shot to a well-guarded green.

With coastal winds often swirling across the exposed layout, club selection can be particularly challenging, making this one of the most memorable and photographed holes at Empordà Golf.
