Course Report

Buenos Aires Golf Club hosted the 2000 World Cup, where Tiger Woods and David Duval claimed victory for the United States, marking the first time Woods played an official golf event in Argentina.

About

Buenos Aires Golf Club, designed by Robert von Hagge in 1994, is widely recognized as one of the top courses in Argentina, featuring 27 holes across a spacious parkland setting. Known for its large lakes, rolling mounds, and world-class turf, the course regularly hosts major national and international tournaments, including the World Cup in 2000.

Caddie Tip

Water hazards are a prominent feature throughout the course—play conservatively on the club’s closing holes, especially 17 and 18, where large lakes demand careful club selection off the tee. Consult your caddie about local wind patterns and green break direction, as the fast putting surfaces can be deceptive. Lay up where necessary if you’re new to the course.

The Main Challenge

The course is renowned for its strategic water hazards, particularly on the finishing holes, where accuracy both off the tee and on approaches is crucial to scoring well. Quick, undulating greens add to the test, as do mounded fairways that require precise shot placement. Recovery shots require creativity due to the course’s modern design features.

The Good

Golfers praise the club for its immaculate greens, challenging water features, and variety across all 27 holes. The American-style design stands out in Argentina, with multiple tees offering a balanced test for all skill levels. Regularly hosting premier tournaments, the overall experience is consistently described as both fair and memorable.

The Not So Good

Some golfers would like to see improved pace of play during busy weekends and note minor issues with bunker conditions after heavy rains. The course’s proximity to a highway means certain holes can be affected by road noise, which detracts slightly from the sense of seclusion expected at elite clubs.
