Course Report
The club is home to the Chilean Open and is recognized as one of Santiago’s only true public access courses, making it unique in a largely private market.
About
Mapocho Golf Club is an 18-hole public championship course in Pudahuel, Santiago, designed for both competitive play and accessibility. Highlighted by wide fairways, challenging rough, and fast, high-quality greens, this 7,500-yard layout frequently hosts the Chilean Open. The course offers extensive practice facilities and beautiful mountain views for golfers of all levels.
Caddie Tip
The rough is often set to tournament length, so prioritize keeping the ball in the fairway off the tee. Approach shots below the hole are key—greens are quick and well-kept, allowing receptive but fast putts. Play early to avoid the heat; afternoon winds from the Andes can strongly affect club selection.
The Main Challenge
The biggest challenge at Mapocho is the rough, which is often set up for championship length before tournaments. The course's exposed holes become demanding in strong winds from the Andes, requiring careful club selection and ball flight control. Some greens have complex pin placements, making accurate approaches crucial.
The Good
Golfers most love the fast, true greens praised as some of the best in Chile, with panoramic views of the Andes and a layout that caters to a variety of skill levels. Mapocho’s open, accessible public model and scenic fairways provide a relaxed yet competitive experience rare in the Santiago region.
The Not So Good
Common complaints include poorly maintained sand traps, which can be hard or muddy, and limited clubhouse amenities—there is little more than a small snack bar with non-alcoholic drinks. Some also mention that rental equipment quality can be inconsistent.
