Lisbon Sports Club

The Lisbon Sports Club dates back to the 1880’s when a group of English resident founded a sports club. It is situated between the village of Belas and Vale de Lobos, about 20 km from Cascais and Lisbon. Designed by Hawtree & Son, it was originally a 9-hole; it was extended to 18 in 1992. Situated amidst hills and valleys, it is a relatively short course; however the natural layout of the land makes it more difficult than it appears. Along most of the courses runs a winding water ditch. The narrow fairways lined with beautiful old trees and abundant vegetation blend in perfectly with the natural surroundings. Each hole is so different that no matter how often they are played, there are always new challenges awaiting the player. The comfortable Club House was originally the old Manor House of Casa de Carregueira. Lisbon Sports Club also boasts an excellent swimming pool, three shale tennis courts, a driving range and a small practice area.
