About this course

Belas Clube de Campo sits in the hills northwest of Lisbon, near the historic town of Sintra, in a landscape marked by gentle elevation changes and Mediterranean vegetation. Designed by Rocky Roquemore and opened in the 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain that offers views across the surrounding countryside while incorporating native cork oaks, pines, and eucalyptus into the playing corridors. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes moving through varied elevations that create strategic interest without excessive severity. Water features appear on several holes, and the layout balances risk-reward opportunities with more straightforward tests of accuracy and distance control. The design reflects Roquemore's approach to working with existing landforms rather than imposing dramatic earth movement, allowing the property's character to shape the golf experience. Belas functions as a private country club serving the greater Lisbon area, with facilities that extend beyond golf to include tennis, swimming, and dining amenities typical of European residential club developments. The course has hosted regional and national amateur competitions, contributing to Portuguese golf's infrastructure as the sport has grown in the country. Its proximity to Lisbon makes it accessible for members while maintaining a setting that feels removed from urban density, a balance that defines many courses in this part of Portugal's coastal corridor.

Getting there

The gateway to Belas Clube de Campo is Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS), a brief twenty-minute drive north into the gently rolling countryside that frames Portugal's capital. The route traces the edge of Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, where suburban Lisbon yields to eucalyptus groves and the first hints of the Atlantic-influenced landscape that defines this corner of the Estremadura. As you approach Belas, the road climbs subtly through quiet residential enclaves and preserved green corridors, delivering you to a meticulously gated sanctuary that feels worlds removed from the city's historic center - yet remains remarkably close to both the international airport and the coastal elegance of Cascais.
