Lisbon Sports Club course
Situated
very close to Lisbon, the course blends harmoniously into a romantic
lanscape of dense vegetation. It demands both skill and imagination
because of a watercourse which strongly influences at least twelve holes
of the round. At the first hole, a par 3, a number of difficulties -
woods to the left, stream to the right and bunkers on both sides - challenge
the player from even the first shot. Then, before the golfer is properly
warmed up, they have to face another par 3 at the third, though this
time of even greater difficulty due to its 180m length. Up until the
final hole (a tricky par 4 crossed in the middle by a stream), the player
can enjoy unforgettable contact with nature, and admire the cypresses,
the eucalyptuses and wild flowers, while at the same time facing up
to shots that tax their imagination.
The original
house on the property has been converted into the clubhouse. Its colonial
style is very welcoming, and from the terrace you can see the fairways
of the 5th and 18th holes.
