Goiânia - Brazil

Opened in 2011 within a gated community, the course at Goiânia Golfe Clube is architect Dan Blankenship's first Brazilian Midwest project and this 18-hole layout is complemented by one of the best driving ranges in the country along with tennis courts and even football pitches.

The par 72 layout stretches to a substantial 7,200 yards from the tips, but four tee positions provide options for golfers of all abilities. Two natural lakes feature on the card, especially at the par three 13th which is virtually an island with some room behind the green for those that choose to bail out long.
