Course Report
Nordelta Golf Club was the first Jack Nicklaus Signature Design in Argentina and stands as one of the country's few regularly selected venues for the Argentine Open.
About
Nordelta Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus-designed championship par-72 course featuring 18 holes set amidst residential lakes and open parkland. Opened in 2007, the course challenges with waste areas, deep bunkers, and undulating, quick greens. Nordelta has hosted the Argentine Open and is regarded for its modern architecture, striking water hazards, and scenic surroundings within the Tigre Delta.
Caddie Tip
Play conservatively off the tee on water-lined holes, especially 12 and 17, favoring placement over distance. Trust your green reads only after careful scrutiny, as subtle breaks are hard to spot on the fast, contoured putting surfaces. Avoid short-siding yourself; up-and-downs can be tough from shaved, undulating surrounds.
The Main Challenge
Nordelta’s greatest challenge comes from the interaction of strong winds and abundant water hazards, particularly on tricky doglegs like 12 and short but perilous holes like 17. The greens play fast and trickily contoured, so staying below the hole is critical for scoring, and approach shots often demand extra caution.
The Good
Golfers praise Nordelta for its outstanding Jack Nicklaus design, particularly the bold use of water and sculpted bunkering that combine to produce both visual drama and strategic options. The routing makes the most of open land and the interplay with lakes, while the finishing stretch delivers intrigue and risk-reward decisions.
The Not So Good
Some golfers note that weekend access is restricted to members, limiting opportunity for visitors. Others report that wind, especially in the afternoon, amplifies difficulty and can occasionally slow play. Depth of fairway bunkers and green firmness demand precision, which can frustrate higher handicaps.
Signature Hole:
#
17
The signature hole is the 17th, a short par 4 of 349 yards. Despite its modest length, water guards the left, forcing precise shot placement off the tee. The approach is daunting to a narrow, firm green with three distinct platforms, demanding accuracy on the second shot to avoid a tricky three-putt.
Clubhouse
The contemporary clubhouse offers spacious locker rooms, fine dining with panoramic views of the course and lakes, an excellent wine cellar, rooftop terrace, golf shop, and private meeting rooms. The overall setting is both relaxed and refined, making it comfortable for visitors and members alike.
Practice Facilities
Nordelta features a full-length driving range with shaded bays, a short-game area with bunkers, multiple putting greens, and PGA-level instruction. The practice area maintains similar conditions to the main course, allowing for realistic preparation before play.
