Course Report
The front and back nines at Hacienda Chicureo are intentionally contrasting, with the back nine routed on more dramatic landforms, offering a distinctly different experience from the opening half.
About
Hacienda Chicureo Golf Club, designed by Stuart Moore and opened in 2002, is a private parkland-style course northeast of Santiago. Its front nine traverses gently undulating ground while the back nine is routed among more contoured land. Players enjoy mountain views, excellent course conditions, and practice facilities onsite.
Caddie Tip
The rough here is notoriously deep and thick, so prioritize keeping drives in the fairway—even conservative layups are wise on tighter par 4s. Approach shots to the contoured greens require precision; avoid short-siding yourself, and pay close attention to wind direction, which can swirl on the more exposed back nine.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge at Hacienda Chicureo is managing approach shots to well-guarded greens, particularly with changing winds that sweep across the more exposed back nine. The deep and thick rough penalizes errant shots, making accuracy off the tee and precise distance control essential for scoring well.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise the friendly staff and tranquil atmosphere at Hacienda Chicureo. The picturesque mountain backdrop, especially on the back nine, and the strong maintenance standards are highlights. The gentle opening holes prime players for the more dramatic challenges later, creating a memorable progression throughout the round.
The Not So Good
Players often note that the course's playability can be affected by the thickness of the rough, which slows play and challenges high-handicappers. Some visitors suggest that more investment in the greens would bring them to a tour-standard level, as they can run slower during certain seasons.
