Olivos, Arg
Olivos Golf Club, located in Pablo Nogués in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, is home to a highly-rated tree-lined parkland layout. Considered by many as “Argentina's Augusta National”, Olivos was designed by Luther Koontz (a course shaper who had worked for the great Dr Alister MacKenzie). The course has hosted the Argentine Open and Argentine Masters on several occasions.
On three sides the course perimeter is flanked by unobtrusive upmarket homes, not that you'll see or notice them most of the time. The expansive area of 27 holes, containing the White, Red and Blue nines, possesses several attractive elevation changes and plenty of tree-lined fairways. The solidly bunker-defended good-sized greens, also contain their fair share of slopes and borrows.
Pick of the holes: the par-5 15th (Red-nine; par-4 for professional events) has been counted amongst the top 500 holes in the world. This doglegging hole responds well to a long tee shot, if you intend to set up a heroic tilt at the green. The approach shot must carry water in front of the bunker-defended green. A challenging and handsome risk-reward hole.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed Mondays.
Must book in advance.

In 1926, a group of thirty golfers decided to write the opening page in the history of Olivos Golf Club. Swept along by their passion fo golf, they founded the club, and never looked back!
White-Red combination:
Argentina's 2nd best course (Golf Digest, 2022).
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.
