Course Report
Granadilla Country Club is home to the oldest golf tournament in Chile, the Abierto Internacional de Golf, attracting top golfers from around South America every year.
About
Granadilla Country Club, established in 1922 and designed by Leonard Macomber, is one of Chile's most historic and picturesque golf courses. The 18-hole, par-72 layout undulates over 120 hectares near Viña del Mar, surrounded by native vegetation and challenging terrain. Famous for hosting the Abierto Internacional de Golf, it offers a memorable test to golfers of all levels and premium club amenities.
Caddie Tip
The course's tree-lined, dogleg fairways reward careful club selection off the tee. Approach shots can be tricky due to small greens and sloping terrain, so focus on precision over distance, especially on uphill or downhill lies. Local caddies often recommend playing conservatively on longer par 4s to avoid the deep bunkers and rough.
The Main Challenge
The most demanding aspects of the course are the elevation changes and tight, tree-lined fairways. Strategic shot placement off the tee is essential, as missed drives can find deep rough or mature trees. Several dogleg par 4s require careful navigation, and the small, firm greens present a tough test for approach shots and putting.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise the lush, natural beauty and unique terrain of the course, highlighted by sweeping views and mature trees that line the fairways. The sense of history, vibrant member culture, and relaxed yet sophisticated club atmosphere also stand out, making every visit feel special.
The Not So Good
Players sometimes note that wet conditions after rain can affect the fairways and bunkers, making maintenance more challenging. Additionally, advanced golfers would appreciate upgrades to clubhouse facilities and locker rooms, plus improved signage to help with navigation for first-time visitors.
