Course Report
The San Isidro Golf Club is famous for being a frequent host of Argentina’s premier championships and has welcomed many prominent international players.
About
San Isidro Golf Club, designed by Juan Dentone and inaugurated in 1928, is one of Argentina’s most historical courses. Known for hosting important tournaments, it features a strategic parkland layout, mature trees, and high-quality greens. Frequent renovations have kept its competitive edge, and its location offers easy access from Buenos Aires.
Caddie Tip
Accuracy from tee to green is key here. Play conservatively off the tee when in doubt, as mature trees line most fairways. On the greens, putts can be subtle and quick—take your time reading breaks, especially on the two-tiered greens. Local caddies can offer invaluable insight.
The Main Challenge
San Isidro’s biggest challenge is the strategic placement required on nearly every hole; tight, tree-lined fairways penalize inaccuracy, while swift, contoured greens test putting skills. The finishing stretch, especially the signature 17th, demands thoughtful shotmaking under pressure.
The Good
Players love the classic parkland design, the mature treelined fairways, and the well-maintained, fast greens. The club’s history and frequent tournament play add to the allure, making it a favorite for golfers seeking a traditional and strategic Argentine golf experience.
The Not So Good
Some golfers point to limited modernization of the clubhouse facilities and occasional crowding during peak times, as well as a driving range that shares space with the first fairway, which can disrupt both practice and play.
Signature Hole:
#
17
The 17th hole is a 420-yard par 4 dogleg left, demanding a precise draw off the tee to avoid the woods flanking both sides. The second shot is downhill to a challenging two-tier green protected by water on the right, where going long brings little chance for recovery.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse offers locker rooms, a bar, playground, and social areas. It remains charming and functional but is somewhat dated compared to modern standards. Food and beverage service is available, and the club maintains a welcoming, historical atmosphere.
Practice Facilities
Practice includes a fairway-based driving range, putting green, and golf academy. Players can warm up and receive instruction before play, though range logistics can be unconventional.
