Terravista Golf Course

Set along the cliffs near Trancoso, Terravista Golf Course is widely regarded as one of Brazil’s most distinctive championship layouts. Designed by Dan Blankenship and opened in 2004, the par-72 course stretches roughly 7,200 yards across a landscape that shifts dramatically between its two nines.

The front nine runs through dense Atlantic rainforest, where tight fairways, water hazards, and heavy vegetation demand precision and control. In contrast, the back nine opens onto coastal cliffs overlooking the Atlantic, where wind and elevation become the primary challenges, requiring adaptability and confident shot-making.
The signature par-3 14th hole defines the course: played across a cliff to a green perched high above the ocean, it combines visual drama with technical difficulty and is considered one of the most iconic holes in Brazilian golf.
With full practice facilities and a design that preserves the natural terrain, Terravista offers a round that balances strategy, environment, and challenge, making it a compelling destination for experienced golfers.

Beyond playability, Terravista stands out for its integration with the surrounding landscape. The routing preserves native vegetation and natural topography, using environmental features as strategic elements rather than obstacles to be removed. Even the irrigation and drainage systems were designed to support sustainability and protect the coastal cliffs.
