Lisbon Sports Club
Lisbon Sports Club dates back to 1880 , when a group of English residents living in the Lisbon area founded a Sports Club . By 1890 they had built a small six-hole golf course in Alges . In 1962 , the Club moved to Casal de Carregueira , where it remains today , about 20km from Cascais and Lisbon . The Martin Hawtree-designed course began with nine holes , with five more holes added a few years later and , finally , in 1992 , its 18 holes were completed . The 5,278 metre par-69 layout means it is a playable course for all , with narrow fairways sweeping between beautiful old trees and abundant vegetation , which ensure holes blend perfectly into the natural surroundings . The comfortable clubhouse has a veranda overlooking the magnificent woodland that is home to this course .
Belavista
Belavista is located within the city of Lisbon . It is therefore not quite part of the Oeste region but this was the first Municipal golf course in Portugal . It was designed to cater for executives , workers and social golfers who could only manage two hours of golf or , today , want to practise their game before taking on a bigger course . This is a short but challenging course of three par-3s and six par-4s , with six artificial lakes coming in to play . Facilities include a practice range .
