The history of Lisbon Sports Club began with the traditional craving for sports by British residents, who started some organised activities - cricket, football and tennis - in Lisbon, around 1880, where the Bull-Ring at Campo Pequeno is to be found today.

The Carregueira Course belonging to the Sports Club is not a long course but it demands knowledge of all the pitfalls that the brook conceals. That is why the positioning of strokes, and sometimes approach shots are of utmost importance.

The opening hole is a 170-metre par 3, with obstacles all around: the stream in front and to the side, two bunkers before the green and others, at the side and behind.

The signature hole is the 18th, a 442-metre par 4, influenced by the stream in six places and with a rather narrow green, surrounded by cypress trees alongside the brook.
