San Andres, Arg
San Andrés Golf Club, home to a well-rated tree-lined parkland layout, is located in the northwestern suburbs of Buenos Aires. This much revered club ("St Andrews" in English) lays claim to being the oldest in Argentina and in South America. Course description, images and other details to follow.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed Mondays.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted at all times. Caddies available.
The club's history states that it was "founded in 1907", and clearly this is when it arrived at its current location and when Mungo Park designed the current course. Centenary celebrations were duly conducted in 2007.
However, the club's history also points to a match played in Buenos Aires in 1892 between V.G.G. Scroggie and W.H. Masters, which (it is claimed) led to the formation of the Buenos Aires Golf Club. This club later became San Andrés Golf Club (the name was changed in honour of St Andrews, Scotland - the home of golf). On this basis San Andrés claims to be the oldest golf club in South America, established in 1892.
In terms of South American longevity, Lomas Athletic Club, also founded by British expats, started life in March 1891. Golf was part of LAC's core activities, giving it a claim to being South America's oldest golf club. The Lomas Athletic course is still in its original location, but it's not entirely clear when the course was laid out - either 1892 or 1899 seem to be possibilities.
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
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.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
