About Terravista Golf Course
.jpg){kind=link}
Terravista Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 72 course on the cliffs of Trancoso in southern Bahia, next to some of the region's beaches. Dan Blankenship of Gold Tee Golf International designed it, and it opened in 2004. The course covers about 70 hectares between Atlantic rainforest and the cliffs of the Discovery Coast, which is the stretch of coast where Pedro Álvares Cabral first sighted Brazil in 1500. The front nine runs through preserved rainforest, and the back nine plays along cliffs of about 40 metres above the Atlantic. The 14th hole, played at the edge of the cliffs, is the club's signature hole and the most photographed on the course. The course is 6,580 yards from its standard tees and 7,212 yards from the gold tees. There is a driving range with 26 bays, putting and chipping greens, a pro shop and electric carts, and visitors can book tee times in advance.

History of Terravista Golf Course
Terravista Golf Course was designed by Dan Blankenship of Gold Tee Golf International and opened in 2004 on the cliffs above Trancoso in Bahia. It covers about 70 hectares between Atlantic rainforest and the cliffs of the Discovery Coast, the stretch of coast where Pedro Álvares Cabral made his first sighting of Brazil on 22 April 1500. The routing puts the front nine through preserved rainforest and the back nine along the cliffs.
Signature holes at Terravista Golf Course
The 14th hole is the club's signature hole, played at the edge of the Atlantic cliffs with the sea beside the green, and the club calls it the most photographed shot on the course. The front nine tests precision through preserved rainforest, while the back nine runs along the cliffs of about 40 metres, where the ocean wind is the main factor.
