Golf Courses in Lisbon
Aroeira Challenge Golf Course (ex Aroeira II)
Aroeira II Golf Course was built to European Tour recommendation standards in order to host major international golf events. One of the course's characteristics is its 5 tees per hole, making it suitable for all levels of players.|The course has a fairly different concept from Aroeira 1, consisting of large fast greens, some of which are more than 700 m2. There are bunkers on the fairways, some of them in the Scottish style of pot bunkers. But the sand traps are not the only obstacle that have to be taken into account: because of the course's five large lakes, water is a fairly constant hazard, particularly at the last nine holes.
Aroeira Pines Classic Golf Course (ex Aroeira I)
Aroeira Golf Course is referred to by golf specialists as one of the best courses in Europe, Aroeira I hosted the Portugal Open in 1996 and 1997, various Ladies Open and the Qualifying School of the Ladies European Tour.|Situated within a beautiful protected area just 25 km from the heart of Lisbon and 600 metres from a stretch of sandy beaches, Aroeira is the largest golf resort in the Greater Lisbon Area. Providing the perfect environment for the whole family to relax, the Aroeira Golf Resort is a fully enclosed 345 hectare property set within a mature pine forest.
Belas Clube Campo
The Belas Clube de Campos, nested in the Carregueira mountains, is in perfect harmony with Charles Franzman master plan: the houses on the hills with view over the golf and the course in the valleys, protected from the wind. The course meanders in amongst the hillsides, affording splendid views of the Sintra hills and is divided into two well defined parts: one with low density residential surroundings and the other through an untouched natural environment.|There are two holes that are particularly notable for their beauty and their challenging qualities: the second hole, a par 5 called 'Augusta' was built in homage to the 13 th hole of the famous course where the US Masters tournament takes place; hole number 18, a memorable par 4 final hole, was christened the 'Big Hole' because of the second shot that players must take makes some 180 meters from the green, which is well protected by a fearsome lake.
Bom Sucesso Golf Guardian
An 18-hole Championship Golf course stretches along the length of the resort shaping the housing centres, the Hotel & SPA and the other leisure facilities. The proximity of the sea and Óbidos lagoon, not to mention the golf course itself, afford each allotment and the housing lots fantastic views which benefit from the extension and the natural beauty of the surroundings.|The first nine holes are played on a level part of the terrain while the second nine are located on uneven terrain, and are therefore quite spectacular.|Simultaneously, BOM SUCESSO has signed a number of Reciprocity agreements between the BOM SUCESSO golf course and other Portuguese golf clubs, spread across the country.
Dolce Campo Real
CampoReal Golf Resort & Spa, etched into the dramatic rolling hills and steep wooded valleys, the course will challenge and delight even the most experienced players. A genuine masterpiece for this resort, with minimal disruption to the existing landscape, flora and fauna. Cutting a swathe through the natural vegetation of the estate studded with cork-oak, olive and fragrant eucalyptus trees, the course smells almost as good as it looks!|Starting and ending with par 5 holes, the course plays over a natural landscape into beautiful valleys. While you enjoy stunning views at the elevated tees, the undulating greens and uphill and downhill drives will be a true test of your judgement and skill. With many changes of level, there are many exciting and challenging shots to play.
Dunas Terras da Comporta
Developed by David McLay-Kidd, the par-71 links-style Dunas Course was constructed with the highest sustainable norms, resulting in approximately 84 hectares of natural, sandy terrain that is expected to evoke parallels to some of the most renowned golf courses in the world, upon its summer 2023 debut. There will be a brand new clubhouse and golf academy built to complement the new Dunas Course.
With Festuca grass-sown fairways, this course offers a formidable test of skill in a breathtaking backdrop. The length of the course, 6,597 metres, makes it exceptionally difficult and calls for pinpoint precision. There are six alternative tee boxes for each hole, so you may play at your own pace, whether that's a leisurely stroll around the park or a serious challenge to the course.
Golfe do Montado
Montado course is surrounded by famous muscatel vineyards that were planted there more than a century ago. The course unfolds beneath old oaks and younger olive trees, chestnut and pines, planted when the course was first built, whilst around it wind creeks and natural lakes.|Some holes are unforgettable. Hole number 5, a Par 4 with a dogleg to the left, demands a good drive in which the second shot is played onto a wide green protected by water. Another hole of great scenic beauty is number 13, a Par 4 that provides a great view over Palmela Castle and an excellent opportunity for a birdie. On this course the golfer is almost always offered two choices for playing the holes. The riskier option implies heavy penalties if the shot is not accurately hit.
Golf Estoril
Estoril Golf Club dates back to 1929 in its first nine-hole version and it was built by Fausto de Figueiredo, the gambling concessionaire at the Estoril Casino. In the new design, the former 9th hole disappeared, and an alteration was made to the fairway of the 13th hole - the famous Patiño’s hole - that now has a dogleg to the right and the second shot is played from the area where the old green was located. The green is now on a higher level. With the disappearance of the 9th hole it was necessary to build another hole, which is now number 13, a par 3 of 160 metros in length.|Finally, the 16th hole has a re-designed green but it is still a par 3, 186 metres long, but 15 metres shorter than the previous one, and it is considered by many players to be one of the best holes in Portugal.
Lisbon Sports Club
Lisbon Sports Club was established in 1861 by English residents of Lisbon and the golf course opened in 1922. But it was only in 1964 that the club took up its permanent home, the Casal da Carregueira, which is in Belas, some 15 kilometers from Lisbon. A number of difficulties - woods to the left, stream on the right, and bunkers on both sides - challenge the player even with his first shot. Then, before the golfer is properly warmed up, he has to face another Par 3, though this time with even greater difficulties. The player can enjoy unforgettable contact with nature, and admire the cypresses, the eucalyptus and wild flowers, while at the same time facing up to shots that tax his imagination. The original house on the property has been converted into a clubhouse. Its colonial style is very welcoming, and from its terrace one can see the fairways of holes 5 and 18.

Oitavos Golfe lies within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. It is set among pine woods and reforested dunes, in an area of great natural beauty.
