I have played this Course twice back some years ago and didn't notice review was not posted, but luckily I have good memory plus some pics helped me to supply some more info for those willing to go and play it.
It is set in one of the nicest geographies in Argentina and the entire world, with the Nahuel Huapi Lake coming into play in 4 holes, views of it and the snowed mountains almost everywhere and the tall pines forest from 12 to 17 make it just beautiful.
The Course Design is not great, original holes by Luther Koontz were set many years ago (1-2-3 and Back 9) and some time later, maybe 15 years ago Emilio Serra completed the course with 6 new holes which opened in a Junior National Tournament where Tano Goya (current PGA and Euro Tour Players) scored 28-35 to set the Course Record.
This course has 2 different worlds, the old and the new. Lets go to the new holes, which are 5 short par 4s and a par 3 on the other side of the road close to the hotel and only 4th hole I would say is a good idea up the hill with fairway breaking from left to right towards the hotel. The other 5 holes are weak, but the setting is so nice that who cares!
As for the Old part, there are many good ones:
- Par 5 1st down the hill.
- Par 4 2nd up the hill with blind second shot is one of the toughers.
- Par 4 10th is the toughest tee shot on the course, dog leg right (similar to 7th at Maidstone) with Lake Nahuel Huapi being the Water Hazard!
- 17th and 18th maybe the nices ending to a course in Argentina, another down hill par 5 and a dramatic par 3 over the lake carrying over 185yds.
I would say golf here is more of an experience than a great design, but very enjoyable. If you expect a Top 100 of the World Course, it is not the case. But if you want to play a fun course and then enjoy a nice meal at the small club house, it is an excellent idea.
