Lisbon Sports Club

3-star: Good course – an enjoyable test for your game.

Est. 1922

Lisbon Sports Club: A far from gentle opening par-3, is followed by a very tight water and tree-lined long par-4, and then another eye-of-a-needle downhill par-3. By the 4th hole you'll be getting used to the need for accuracy and thoughts of hitting big and long (and wayward) will be banished from mind.

In addition to this tough and usually tight test of golf, you'll also come to appreciate the very picturesque nature of the course and the lack of real estate, which is becoming so intrusive on many other Portuguese courses. The many elevated tees and greens add to the challenges, but are only to be expected, given the significantly undulating nature of the terrain here.
