For those of you who want to practice an outdoors activity while in Portugal, but don’t really fit into the sporty category, golf is one sport you shouldn’t write off your list. Top 5 must-play golf courses in and around Lisbon may convince you to count yourself among the many locals and foreigners who come practice their favorite sport in Portugal!

1. Troia Golf in Grandola, Portugal, just a short drive from Lisbon, is a challenging and magnificent golf course built in 1980. With raised greens stretching among lines of scented pine trees, Troia Golf can provide a memorable golfing experience both for professional and for amateur players.

2. Belas Golf Club is a newer course, established in 1997, stretching for an outstanding 6 km. Perched on the surprisingly hostile hills, stretching around the snaking slopes, Belas is a beautiful place to practice your favorite sport.

3. With its fairytale romantic castle and its touristic air, Sintra is a great Portuguese attraction, one you shouldn’t miss under any circumstances. Nevertheless, golf just might make your day even brighter if you decide to visit Penha Longa Golf Resort in Sintra. The two courses in the Penha Longa are quite challenging among luxuriant vegetation and enjoying fresh air.

4. Praia d’el Rey is one of the best golf courses Portugal can boast with. It is a healthy 50-minute drive from the capital city, but it is an excellent facility where everyone can have fun playing golf. Not to mention it’s made the top best golf destinations in Europe!

5. Oitavos Dunes in Cascais, on the northern bank of Tagus River, is tucked between the endless Atlantic Ocean and the imposing Sintra Mountains. Set in sucg an idyllic scenery, the golf course could be nothing but exceptional.
