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.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
