| In Volume 2 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses by Tom Doak, Ran Morrissett, Masa Nishijima and Darius Oliver, the authors have this to say about the course: “By some measures this would be the best course in Argentina; it’s a tournament-standard course in difficulty and conditioning, and the wind is always blowing near the Rio del Plata. But the course is entirely reclaimed from boggy ground, and the long lakes fringed with reeds and the waste bunkers are all too familiar.” |

Nordelta Golf Club, the course that Jack built, opened for play in 2007 and is one of Argentina’s most challenging layouts. The course is now the centrepiece of a new district that comprises of a neighbourhood-gated community, which offers residents a plethora of sporting activities.
The Jack Nicklaus-designed Nordelta course is routed across former wetlands where the holes weave their way around and across a series of lakes to the south of the River Plate – the world’s widest estuary. Host to the 2008 Argentine Amateur Championship and 2009 and 2012 Argentine Open, the new Nordelta Golf Club has a bright future and we expect the club to rise in the rankings.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.

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.
