About Belas Golf Course
Style: Championship Parkland with Mountain Terrain | Length: 6,109 m | Par: 72
Designed by renowned American architect Rocky Roquemore, Belas Golf Course opened in 1997 and quickly established itself as one of Lisbon’s premier golfing destinations. Built across a hilly, forested landscape, the course makes full use of its natural surroundings — with elevated tees, sloping fairways, and strategically placed hazards demanding accuracy and careful shot selection.
Belas is known for its signature hole, the par-5 18th, which plays downhill towards the clubhouse with stunning panoramic views — a fitting end to a rewarding round.
Throughout the course, golfers are treated to a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by eucalyptus and pine trees, with each hole offering a unique challenge shaped by the terrain. The combination of technical design and natural beauty ensures a round that is as enjoyable as it is demanding.
