Brasilia
Set within a public area, designated National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) status, Clube de Golf de Brasília was founded in 1964 as a non-profit organization.
Brasilia is the capital city’s premier layout measuring 6,788 yards from the back tees. This par 72 course was designed by Robert Trent Jones who used Lake Paranoá to great effect, especially at holes 7,8, 16 and 17.
The 210-yard par three 8th is considered to be the signature hole on the card and it's located on the shore of Paranoá Lake which constantly threatens golfers on this tough one shotter. The par five 16th is a sweeping dogleg to the left epitomising RTJ designs with a raised push-up green from where there's stunning views across the lake.
