There are several routes to Belas Golf, taking either the A5 and A9 from Lisbon (exit at Belas), or the IC19 from Sintra and Cascais. The key is to get on the N117 between Belas and Pero Pinheiro. From the town of Belas, the Club is approximately 2.5 km and will be on your right, just o.3 km beyond the turning for Lisbon Sports Club (on your left).
Belas Clube de Campo is home to a course that serves up something of a mixed bag scenically. Its first four holes are played through tranquil and very natural countryside, before the course moves into its "partnership" with the prodigious housing and apartment developments of the Belas Clube de Campo complex.
Throughout there is a clear sense that the golf holes are well designed, with water and significant bunkering all playing their part. Upkeep is also of a generally good standard. The real estate tends to overshadow some lovely views to be found from the course (see if you can spot the stunning hilltop castle at Sintra).
Unless you are feeling particularly fit, and enjoy long, uphill green to tee walks, it really is advisable to take a buggy.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: men 28; women 36.
Soft spikes only. Golf carts available for hire.

Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
