La Providencia - Argentina

Opened in 2019, La Providencia (Providence) Resort & Country Club is located less than an hour’s drive southwest of Buenos Aires city centre, with a Jan Sonnevi-designed 18-hole golf course as the centrepiece of a 660-acre gated community which also offers tennis courts and polo fields as sporting amenities for its members.

Extending to 6,486 metres from the back tees and playing to a par of 72, the course occupies around a quarter of the property, with many of the remaining acres devoted to the 715 housing units that will eventually be built within an upmarket residential development.

Several lakes were excavated to provide material to fashion fairway contours and these water hazards come into play at half the holes on the scorecard. Highlight holes include the shortest of the par threes at the 155-metre 6th and the very tough par four 11th, rated stroke index 2.
