"Claude Berda Tournament" celebrates Dunas Golf Course's first year
Located in Terras da Comporta, the Dunas Golf Course was the setting chosen to stage the first "Claude Berda Tournament", a competition that celebrated the course's inaugural year. The event brought together golf enthusiasts and members of the community, while consolidating Dunas as a top golfing destination in Portugal and Europe.
With a number of special guests in attendance, the tournament was impressive for its competitive atmosphere, as well as a spirit of camaraderie that reflects Vanguard Properties' vision of how golf should be an integral part of the sustainable and high-quality development of the Comporta region.
Designed by renowned golf architect David McLay-Kidd, the Dunas Golf Course has already won a number of awards since its official opening in October 2023, such as the "World's and Europe's Best New Golf Course" at the World Golf Awards. It was also considered the best Portuguese course by the players, as well as a prestigious ninth best for the best courses in Europe, something that has never happened before for a new course.
This recognition, combined with the success of the "Claude Berda Tournament" consolidates Dunas Golf Course's position as one of the finest golf courses in Europe. During the tournament, the players enjoyed a challenging course and top-notch infrastructure, where environmental preservation and respect for local nature are key. Organisers guaranteed guests a unique experience, from the personalised welcome in the clubhouse to the prize-giving, providing those invited with memorable moments.
