In 1880, a group of British residents
in the Lisbon area formed a club where cricket, football
and tennis could be played.
In 1914, the club lost the use of
the site in Lisbon. For several years, it was allowed
to share the sports facilities at Carcavelos with
the long established Eastern Telegraph Sports Club.
In 1917, in recognition of the ETC's generosity, the
LSC presented a Golf Trophy to Carcavelos, now one
of the oldest golf trophies in Portugal.
By 1922, cricket, tennis, hockey,
football and a nine hole golf course were all in full
swing and the "Golden Era" of the club now
began. Although well outside Lisbon in those days,
it soon became the centre of British Community sporting
life and many Portuguese friends also joined the club.
In 1962 the present grounds at Carregueira
were purchased. The golf course was formally opened
on the 20th June 1964 with a match, the L.S.C. vs
The Rest of Portugal. The result was a handsome win
for the club. The full 18 hole course was inaugurated
on the 19th September 1992.
Facilities:
hire of trolleys and clubs, caddies, golf lessons.
As well as a clubhouse, restaurant, bar and sauna,
the club has a children's playroom with a babysitting
service.
