Course Report

Las Brisas de Santo Domingo is often called 'the Pebble Beach of South America' and is considered one of Chile's top courses, attracting attention for its ocean views and reputation for championship-caliber golf.

About

Las Brisas de Santo Domingo is a premier 27-hole private golf club located near Chile's Pacific coast, designed by Gage Davis Associates and opened in 1995. Recognized for scenic ocean views, five man-made lakes, strategic layouts, and world-class amenities, the club boasts top-tier practice facilities and an elegant, well-equipped clubhouse. Its coastal parkland setting makes it a standout destination in Chilean golf.

Caddie Tip

Las Brisas' coastal winds can drastically affect club selection, especially on long par 4s and 5s. Keep approach shots low, watch for swirling gusts, and favor left-center targets to avoid the strategically placed water hazards and deep fairway bunkers throughout the course.

The Main Challenge

The toughest part of Las Brisas is managing the ever-present coastal wind, which greatly influences club selection and shot trajectory, especially on longer holes flanked by water or bunkers. Accurate tee shots are critical, and the subtle undulations of the greens demand confident putting.

The Good

Golfers love the combination of panoramic ocean views from multiple holes, the memorable water features, and the impeccably maintained greens and fairways. The varied routing presents new challenges each round, while the tranquil setting and modern clubhouse add to the experience.

The Not So Good

Some visitors mention that course access is strictly limited due to its private status, making guest play challenging. Others cite that pace of play can be hindered during peak times, and that windy coastal conditions sometimes make certain holes less forgiving.
