Course Report

Fazenda Boa Vista was designed with extensive leisure infrastructure—including two championship golf courses, polo fields, tennis courts, an equestrian center, and a luxury Fasano Hotel—making it one of the most comprehensive residential resorts in Brazil.

About

Fazenda Boa Vista (Arnold Palmer) is an exclusive 18-hole golf course set within the sprawling luxury resort and residential community of Boa Vista in São Paulo state. Designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer, it features elegant routing across scenic rolling hills, offering strategic play and impressive countryside vistas. The course is integrated with luxury amenities and is accessible primarily to property owners and Fasano Hotel guests.

Caddie Tip

Accuracy off the tee is essential on this course’s tree-lined fairways and rolling doglegs. Conservative play on approach shots will help avoid bunkers that guard several greens, and it’s wise to study the undulating putting surfaces before committing to a line.

The Main Challenge

The toughest aspect is navigating tight fairways and elevated greens, especially during windier afternoons. Strategic bunkering and water hazards on several holes require precise club selection and disciplined course management throughout the round.

The Good

Golfers praise the tranquil country setting coupled with Palmer’s strategic course design. The ambiance of playing on finely manicured fairways in a quiet, upscale environment, together with hillside vistas and private club service, stands out as the highlight for visitors.

The Not So Good

Some guests would prefer a bit more accessibility for outside visitors, as play is largely restricted to property owners and hotel guests. Others note the need for slightly faster greens and more extensive signage on certain holes for first-time players.
