Olympic Golf Course
The Olympic Golf Course is a new venue built for the men's and women's individual golf events of the 2016 Summer Games, where golf returned for the first time as an Olympic sport after 112 years. Hanse Golf Course Design was chosen from eight contenders to build the course.
The new golf facility is located at Reserva de Marapendi in Barra da Tijuca – Rio de Janeiro. As [the 2016 Games] marks the return of golf to the Olympic Games after over a century of absence, this course represents the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the sport. It will enable Rio to host important events in the international calendar and it would be an example of sustainability and preservation of an environmentally protected area. This course will be an excellent facility for the practice and development of golf and will inspire millions of youth across Brazil and the globe.
The Olympic 18-hole course has a links-style feel, mostly comparable to the Australian sand-belt courses and is naturally integrated in the native vegetation. There is plenty of wildlife present at the course, including capybaras (large rodent), caimans (small crocodile) and corujas (burrowing owls). The experience of playing this already legendary course will linger in your memory for ever!
Gavea Golf & Country Club
Gávea Golf & Country Club in the south of Rio de Janeiro City is widely regarded as one of Brazil’s most prestigious golf clubs and dates back to 1921, where the course layout was designed by Arthur Morgan Davidson. The course is located between Pedra da Gávea – an enormous rocky outcrop that looms over the course, Tijuca Forest and São Conrado beach.
The beauty of Rio de Janeiro, with its hills, sea and amazing vegetation makes Gávea Golf & Country Club a truly unique course, which gives you the feeling of playing in a magical tropical valley. You need to be in shape to face its hilly fairways – particularly the ones on the front nine.
However, the reward is worthwhile: an unforgettable view over the course and the sea. With just less than 6,000 yards from the back tees, it is a short course, but the distance from tee to green is not important on this strategic little charmer.
Itanhanga Golf Course
Itanhangá Golf Club is founded in the 30’s and is the only club with 27 holes in Rio de Janeiro State. The club always played an important role for golf in Brazil, as it hosted some of the major golf competitions, including the Brazil Open and the LPGA Tour.
Itanhangá is also famous for its Golf school, which is active in promoting junior golf. The club has an 18 holes championship course and an additional 9 holes course. From the course, there is a privileged view of Pedra da Gávea and Tijuca Forest, two of Rio de Janeiro’s most beautiful postcard views.
Surrounded by the hills, the course gives you a unique feeling of playing in a huge valley. Golfers say when they pass through the gate of Itanhanga Golf Club, it’s like moving from the big city to a peaceful country within a 10 yards walk. Itanhangá Golf Club is a relatively flat parkland golf course, with a wide variety of beautiful decades-old trees.
Iguassu Falls Golf Club
The golf course with 18 holes has been redesigned to become a reference in Latin America and was renamed to Iguassu Falls Golf Club, in honor of the Iguaçu Falls. Today it has already established itself as one of the best golf courses of Parana.
As responsible for the renovation is the architect Erik Larsen, one of the leading names in the world in the area. He has nearly 30 years experience in the Arnold Palmer Design Company and his own company, the Rec-Creation. The new course is designed to challenge all levels of enthusiasts, from beginners to professionals, and has been expanded to 7,080 yards in length, par 72.
