The course & its setting
Designed by architects Hawtree & Sons, the 18-hole course unfolds in a non-urbanized wooded valley, without any visible construction, a rarity in the Lisbon region. Here, nature is king, and the course elegantly follows the undulations of the terrain:
- Narrow fairways, raised tees and well-defended greens
- A natural stream crosses 12 of the 18 holes, bringing both freshness and strategy
- Peaceful views, a cozy atmosphere and a protected environment
The Lisbon Sports Club evokes the spirit of British courses: authentic, demanding, charming.
Iconic holes not to be missed:
- Hole n°1: Par 3 overhanging, 169 m, panoramic view and green protected by 4 bunkers. A striking introduction.
- Hole No. 3: Another Par 3 (176 m) considered one of the most beautiful in the country.
- Hole No. 18: A strategic finale with a green defended by a winding stream and two bunkers. Precision is essential.
Services & Environment
Each hole offers a unique challenge, making the course as captivating for experienced players as for experienced amateurs.
The traditional clubhouse, the true living heart of the club, welcomes you with:
- A warm restaurant and bar, with terrace and veranda panoramic
- A pro shop, changing rooms and quality equipment
- A complete practice (driving range, putting green, chipping), lessons and courses
At the Lisbon Sports Club, golf is played in the silence of the pines, along the water, in the respect for a historic route and a preserved environment. It’s the ideal place for a challenging round, a nature break or a golf break full of character.
