Golf in Lisbon

Lisbon is an unincorporated Howard County community in the western tier near the Carroll County line, occupying rolling piedmont terrain in the upper Patuxent watershed. Cattail Creek Country Club serves a rural residential community in an area where Howard County's otherwise intense development pressure has been tempered by distance from the Columbia-Ellicott City core. The Patuxent headwaters territory provides natural stream-corridor features that give the golf course its primary topographic character. Lisbon's position between the Baltimore and Washington markets—accessible to both but belonging entirely to neither—is characteristic of Howard County's geography. The county's strong school system and economic vitality extend to even its western rural tier, making communities like Lisbon attractive to families seeking more land and rural character within commuting distance of major employment centers.
