Belas Clube de Campo
Belas Clube de Campo is one of the most dramatic parkland courses near Lisbon, a Rocky Roquemore design from 1997 carved through the deep valleys of the Carregueira hills. Big elevation changes, panoramic views and a bold routing make it a memorable round, and it sits only about 40 minutes from Lisbon airport, an easy addition to a city or coast golf trip.

The verdict
Belas opened in 1997 to a Rocky Roquemore design and remains one of the boldest parkland layouts around Lisbon. Set in the Carregueira hills, it plays through deep valleys and over rolling ground, with several fairways and greens dropped into natural bowls and panoramic scenery on the higher holes. It is a course of real movement and variety, never flat and never dull.
The setting earns it a place on a Lisbon golf week, surrounded by hills, fauna and flora, yet close to the airport and the city. It pairs well with the bigger names of the coast and gives a group a different look, a swooping inland test to set against the seaside and mountain courses nearby.

Designer, year and par verified June 2026 from Top 100 Golf Courses and the club. Belas Clube de Campo, designed by William Rocky Roquemore, opened in 1997 in the Carregueira hills near Lisbon, a par 72 of about 6,109 meters that plays through deep valleys and rolling parkland with panoramic views.

The holes worth the trip
Belas is defined by its terrain, the holes rising and falling through the Carregueira valleys with several fairways and greens set deep in natural hollows. Roquemore used the dramatic ground to create elevated tees, downhill drives and approaches played from a stance you rarely have flat, so judging the lie and the slope is central to scoring.
The greens are large and contoured to match the bold land, and the views from the high points across the hills are among the best of any course near Lisbon. It is a thinking player's round where positioning off the tee opens the angle into the green, and the valley holes in particular reward a confident, well struck shot.
It is a course to enjoy for its variety and scenery, an inland counterpoint to the seaside and mountain golf of the Lisbon coast. Added to a city based golf week, it gives a group a memorable, swooping round within easy reach of the airport and the capital.
