Established in 1900, Jockey Club de Rosario moved to its current location in 1936, which allowed an increased number of sports to flourish on a larger campus. Luther Koontz was then engaged to set out the club’s 18-hole course in the late 1950s.

Today, the course occupies only around 90 acres of a 215-acre property, with most of the narrow, tree-lined holes orientated on a northeast-southwest axis. Measuring around 6,600 yards from the back tees, the layout plays to a par of 72 and holes are arranged as two returning nines. Water comes into play on the last four holes which are routed around a couple of lakes in the middle of the course.
Highlight holes on the front nine include the right doglegging par four 3rd; the par five 5th with out of bounds on the left; and the par four 9th which has two bunkers on either side of the green. The star of the show here is undoubtedly the par three 17th – and, as if it wasn’t difficult enough playing to an island green, the putting surface on this short hole is also surrounded by three large bunkers.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
