Campo de Golf del Jockey Club: located in the northwestern suburbs of Buenos Aires, the Jockey Club is home to South America's most renowned golf facility. It also boasts an opulently large and classical clubhouse, much in keeping with the top country clubs in the USA.
Here you will find the highly-rated Red/Colorado course, and the also excellent Blue/Azul course, both laid out in 1930 by the legendary Dr Alister MacKenzie.
Although principally a parkland course, MacKenzie's design of the Red/Colorado course incorporates a green at the par-5 10th, which bears an uncanny resemblance to that of the par-4 17th (Road Hole) on the Old Course, St Andrews. And like the Old Course, the par-4 closing hole at Jockey Club also has its menacing Valley of Sin.
Visitors welcome on Mondays and Thursdays.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted at all times. Caddies available.
The Jockey Club, and predominantly its Red course, has hosted countless national and international championships over the years. Notable amongst these are many Argentine Opens, as well as the 1962 and 1970 editions of the World Cup of Golf.
Amongst those who have won these prestigious events here at the Jockey Club, you will find such legends as the great Argentinian flag-bearer, Roberto de Vicenzo (World Cup 1962 & 1970), and Arnold Palmer & Sam Snead (USA World Cup team, 1962) and Bruce Devlin & David Graham (Australia World Cup team, 1970).
Argentine Open winners here include: Lloyd Mangrum (USA; 1946), Gary Hallberg (USA, 1980), Vicente Fernandez (Arg; 1981, 2000), Mark Calcavecchia (USA; 1993, 1995), Jim Furyk (USA; 1997), and Angel Cabrera (Arg; 2001). De Vicenzo won the Argentine Open nine times, but never here at the Jockey Club.
The Red and Blue courses take their names from the colour of the ribbons that were used to mark out the two courses during construction. They also reflect the colours in the club's logo.
Argentina's best courses (Golf Digest, 2022):
Red course ranked 4th best. Blue course ranked 6th best.
Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
