Lisbon Sports Club is definitely a must play course if you are looking for a challenge while enjoying your golf holiday in Lisbon. The golf course set in one of the most picturesque and naturally beautiful areas of Lisbon; the golf course is surrounded by the “Serra da Carregueirra”, an area of beautiful, dense woodland.
The wild flowers, the many species of trees and small wild animals all contribute towards making the hours spent on the course even more agreeable.

Golf Books #76 (A Course Called Ireland: A Long Walk in Search of a Country, a Pint, and the Next Tee)
Jul 24th
2012
The hysterical story best-seller about one man’s epic Celtic sojourn in search of ancestors, nostalgia, and the world’s greatest round of golf.
By turns hilarious and poetic, A Course Called Ireland is a magnificent tour of a vibrant land and paean to the world’s greatest game in the tradition of Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods. In his thirties, married, and staring down impending fatherhood, Tom Coyne was familiar with the last refuge of the adult male: the golfing trip. Intent on designing a golf trip to end all others, Coyne looked to Ireland, the place where his father has taught him to love the game years before.
As he studied a map of the island and plotted his itinerary, it dawn on Coyne that Ireland was ringed with golf holes. The country began to look like one giant round of golf, so Coyne packed up his clubs and set off to play all of it-on foot.
A Course Called Ireland is the story of a walking-averse golfer who treks his way around an entire country, spending sixteen weeks playing every seaside hole in Ireland. Along the way, he searches out his family’s roots, discovers that a once-poor country has been transformed by an economic boom, and finds that the only thing tougher to escape than Irish sand traps are Irish pubs.
